The List

Back in the late 90s, Louis moved into my place in Waterloo, Ontario. We're both psychotic, so inexplicable insanity was always on display at the apartment. We were constantly laughing at things until we were crying, choking, in pain, stamping our feet, and unable to function at all. Eventually we decided to post a piece of paper in the kitchen where we could write down the things that we laughed at. We kept taping new pieces of paper onto it until Louis moved to Montreal and the tradition was halted. We ended up just short of a hundred items on the list, and it is now known as The 98 Things Spage & Louis Laughed At In Waterloo. The original includes pictures and accents to words, I still have it in a box somewhere, saved for future framing. There's probably nothing on it that makes any sense to anyone but Lou & I, but if you want to ask about any of them, I'd be more than happy to give you the attached story. Without further ado, I present,
