Funny MJ Memory

This just came to me head.

Okay, so there was a period before dad remarried where my uncle was living with my dad. He'd gotten a divorce, and needed a place to live. I swear to blob, my dad's house became the coolest place ever. There was an RC Cola machine, a bar in the dining room with a large TV, and attached to it was an Atari . All this was my uncle's stuff.

Well, this guy was a supermarket manager for Country Club Market. Remember that local chain? He had this Pepsi Michael Jackson stand-up store display at dad's in the bar/dining room. It was MJ from his "Bad" era. I Googled it on Bing, and there are some EBay listing of these cardboard guys going for 1,500-2,000 dollars.

They used to prank each other all the time, by placing the standy at random parts of the house. My step mom recalls leaving my dad's bedroom while they were dating and being scared nearly shitless. There was Michael standing at the top of the stairs, courtesy of my uncle.

She still decided to marry him after that. Wow.
