Her roommate works at the same bar. So essentially we could say that we were going to pick up her roommate. When we got there, like, thank-god, there was some sort of shenanigan going on with these guys who'd walked out on like a three- hundred-dollar bill. So all the staff were in their cars chasing these guys down the street ...

Speaker: So I-don't-know, I just- myself looking at that, I mean, i-- it's supposed to look all nice from prim-and-proper but I have a feeling that there's a lot more shenanigans and a lot more other stuff going on than- "Wear your clothes?" you-know. Be fully clad. Interviewer: For sure. Well, I know- you-know, knowing kids that went to a catholic- school compared to a public high-school, I mean, we didn't have uniforms ...

Speaker: Like I- they like, kick you out you-know, type-of-thing and the f-- for water now I can t- I don't know the reasoning behind that um, whether there was shenanigans at the fountain. Interviewer: Water fights maybe.

... we were full of hellray and then Dan- Dan and I 'specially. Mother would take us to her church and she'd play the organ (inc) but after- before the first (inc) the first hymn was done she had us sitting up with her. She wasn't putting up with the shenanigans we were going through. That's- I guess we had a good life.

Speaker: And he would- like we would do our own thing. I had my friends, he had his. He would do his own little she-- shenanigans over there I-don't-know. Interviewer: Okay.

Speaker: My son brought- bought me that for Christmas couple years ago. It's a- Mourn-The-Line-Of-An-Expose-Of-American-Imperialism. Interviewer: Oh. Speaker: Teddy-Roosevelt and ah his shenanigans. And I'm really into the part now where the Americans took over the Philippines and that the underhanded dealings that they- they had you-know. It's- it really comes down pretty hard on- on the Americans and their foreign policy.

And he come in- come in the other class and put on some kind of sh-- shenanigans. One of- this particular day he was proposing to the teacher in the class and all the different- (inc) Italian, and a Frenchman, Chinaman, and-all-the-rest. And he could do all through the antics this. A real- real actor (laughs).

Speaker: ... so the Irish and that's in my father's side there is ah Scottish and French. Interviewer 1: Huh. Interviewer 2: Cool. Speaker: Yeah. Interviewer 1: And horse thieves. Speaker: Yes we were horse thieves. So that's maybe where my shenanigan- action-for-shenanigans comes from.

Interviewer: Did there- no fighting at all? Speaker: There was- oh there was definitely some shenanigans ah- Interviewer: (Laughs) Speaker: I remember one time we had one of those um records, the forty-fives. It was the original Star-Wars one where you could read along with the Star-Wars books. Interviewer: Oh. Speaker: If we had it now it would be worth money.

Speaker: I- I love Monty-Python. Interviewer 1: Yes. Interviewer 2: Oh yeah. Speaker: I love his shenan-- like the shenanigans from Monty-Python. And um and Mike-Myers and-that-kind-of-thing like it's amazing. But again comedy, being able to laugh is a great- great healing tool for everyone so-

Oh well we were in good terms. They used to come and help me when they could, but they'd ah, done a lot of shenanigans.
