I just like making fun of the place. My parents owned some ridiculous house on Mercer Way with a huge yard, a boat launch and some variety of watercraft when I was a little kid. I regularly mock them about it.

I, of course, can't remember much about it other than the fact that the ducks would come onto the patio to bite me... oh, and I wore miniskirts with go-go boots.
