D.J. on skates, holding a little Steve over his head, then CRASH! Mike in bare feet, putting toddler Andy on his shoulders at the top of a Lake Michigan sand dune, running down, then CRASH! (Whoops, this was a STUPID SUMMER TRICK.) Going sledding with Dad at Rouge Park - down a hill, into a stand of trees, then CRASH! Mike sledding with the kids in Grand Rapids, going solo on a piece of plastic, becoming airborne after hitting a snow embankment, then CRASH! Mike getting his car stuck on a curb cut and ice on a driveway on Goldridge Lane. Mike slipping on glare ice while walking back to work from a lunch break in Grand Rapids. This turned into a great WINTER TRICK because: A) Mike became a human luge on a downtown sidewalk, hurtling down a steep hill on his back, not stopping until B) He used his arm to snag a lightpost at the corner of a busy intersection. Mike's Mercury sliding on ice while trying to turn a corner in his neighborhood, hitting a snow embankment and becoming airborne. The front axle of the Mercury came to rest on top of something behind the snow bank - a fire hydrant. Mike's next trick was scrounging up the money to pay for damage to the undercarriage. The fire plug was unharmed. Larry stuck in a snow bank, has his CB Buddies, Spinner and Paddlefoot, come and push him out of the snow bank. Paddlefoot's pickup truck breaks an axle but still manages to push Larry out. Larry drives away leaving the broken down CBers behind. Thanks, good buddy!! Mike drives in a snowstorm from Grand Rapids that is so bad his windshield wipers freeze. Mike is forced to drive 100 miles with the drivers window down making a windshield wiping motion. During dinner his arm uncontrollably flaps up and down. DJ spins out his Gran Prix on Tilch trying to endorse a check while driving in a snowstorm. Later he tries to blame it on Kelly who was not in the car, but who took the pen that he usually used while driving and signing checks. Larry, Carla, Jerry, and DJ drive in Kelly's Party Van from Escanaba, MI in a snowstorm with no heater. The only heat comes from a candle in a coffee can. While driving 75 miles per hour in the fast lane the back door is opened so the can and a burning blanket can be discarded out the rear of the van. |
