I loved, do love, both of them. <\/p>\n<p>They were living in Munster and I was fighting through my divorce at the time, and I hung around there a lot. One day, as Jon and I were playing in the basement with his \u00e2\u20ac\u0153new\u00e2\u20ac\u009d toy, an Apple 2, I heard his wife Cookie upstairs say \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jon watch phillip, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m leaving\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Jon yelleed back \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Take him with, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m busy\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by which time she had already left. <\/p>\n<p>later, as Cookie rescued Phillip(4) from the parking lot of the apartment building, I got to witness oneof their usual fights. THey fought constantly, and frankly, it was a riot to watch- because it was almost like watching pro wrestling. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, cookie is sitting on the couch, eating twinkies from a box, and arguing with john \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I asked you to watch OUR SON for FIVE MINUTES\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and jon comes back with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I work sometimes twelve hours a day in the filthiest shithole in the world, and maintain an eight unit apartment building. Child care is your job\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Cookie says \u00e2\u20ac\u0153well, Jon, I guess I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll just have to be everywhere\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and before I could bite my tongue I felt the words exiting my mouth \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Cookie, if you eat two more of those twinkies you WILL BE everywhere\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. She beat me black and blue. Laughing all the time. Even later, she said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I cannot believe you came back with that so fast- or that you had the balls to say it\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n<p>Little did she know. Not balls, just no inhibitions. Imagine me hammered. Not pretty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Pascal wants to know how long before wingnuthead jams those big fucking ears into this mess.
