Mark and his best friend, Brian.

Brian is still with us... even though I constantly tried to get him to jump out of trees, blow up stuff and sneak into the grave yard across the street from my house. I wanted to see if we couldn't find a dead person. They don't leave dead people just lying around?!!! Bummer!

Brian is holding his dog, Pugsly. I'm pretty sure that we never terrorized the dog... even though Brian is squeezing the life out of him.

 
I'm the one with the evil grin... h-m-m-m... what can I get myself into now?!!! I'll never forget the time we tested a hand built rocket... in Brian's basement... while a bunch of people were visiting his Mom... Oh yeah... there was a stink bomb attached to the rocket... Wow! I got in trouble that day!
