Speaker 1:
You listen to me, you go to the top. Bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby, bobby. No-transcript. I didn't matter.
Speaker 1:
Like him, I would put him in, but how he said, put his bike by my house and change it around the pole. I didn't like him. I wouldn't put him in the boat. He said, put his bike by my house and chain it around the pole and then go down to the beach. A block away. He took out about a kid.
Speaker 1:
I always made fun of my grandmother because she was heavy. I didn't like the guy, I hated him. So I took some pinch snips and cut all his spokes in him on front and back wheel. He came back from the beach, unlocked his bike, got on it, started riding. Wheels all collapsed. I was straight down. Within a half hour he was beating on my door For some reason. He knew I did it, he knew I did it.
Speaker 1:
And across the street we had a neighbor who didn't like me. So what I would do is I would order her pizzas, maybe 10 pizzas from 10 different places. Now you have to give me your phone number and everything we did in those days. Yeah, yeah, she picked up over 10 pizzas from Mrs Goldstein. Yeah, she was made with a link pizza. So you know all these people had done.
Speaker 1:
What I do is I had a real fun. I would call cabs and send cabs to her and I asked all cabs to be there, like at 9 at night, and at 9 I called the police and said there was cab drivers fighting in my lobby and so the cops would come and all the cab drivers would be there. Nobody was fighting but it was just. I just drove this woman crazy. And then what I used to do with her husband he didn't like me because he always thought I was breaking his windows. But I wasn't. I really wasn't. He was a hillbilly, he was a janitor, but he couldn't say windows, he'd say winders. He broke my winders so I had to call him winders. So one day he caught me and grabbed me by the nape of the neck and really hurt me and threw me down on the ground. I was like 14. Okay, what can I do to you? I got Quaker Oaks and put it in the radiator of his car. So when the radiator heats up it looks like his car pukes. And then you ever put one burger cheese on a guy's engine? No, it'll smell when the engine gets warm. Funny, winders never bothered me after that and then I'd always wave to him and everything else so he knew I was his friend. I messed up his 53 Chevy so they always assumed it was you. Oh yeah, anything that went on.
Speaker 1:
Me and my buddy Bozo, we did everything in that neighborhood. We did everything. We did everything. One street goes from the storage on one street. Then behind the storage there's an alleyway For some idea.
Speaker 1:
One day I found I got ahold of 100 feet of rope. So Buddy Boz and I, we went and put it through the doors of every business and then went around to the back and tied the rope up in a bunch of knots. So everybody was roped in their stores. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:
And then there was this guy at the liquor store. It was Castell Liquors and he was kind of a mean guy. He didn't like us. But in the back he always had cases of folks where you bring the bottle back and they give you two cents and you put the bottles in the back. Well, both, both of them go in the store and start talking to the guy and I go around back and get the bottles. I mean, when you give them to him, he'll give you ten cents for five bottles, no, just bottles. I talk to him, both of them go around back and come here with ten bottles so we each other die and two of you go get a Coke or something.
Speaker 1:
So you think doing those things, like with the guy with the windows, doing those things kind of stopped him. No, because after that I made friends with him and when I wanted him to think of his mind he'd be the last person to do that. Oh, I see. See, he's my friend now there's so many things you can do. One time a guy used to walk his dog by my house and the dog would always hit the dog and so I yelled at him and I said, hey, I forgot something. He never came back again. So one day I got a napkin and I wrote that neighbor's and I picked up the dog poop and we'll hope there's no marks or stuff it up inside of it. I never saw him or the dog again. I told one. I said you beat Nick one more time. Put the word in the streets.
