Albert Landon

I did not know Albert Landon's real voice for the first three months I was at school. My best friend Fred was a year ahead of me as was Albert, who was his friend. Whenever I saw him, he would greet me with this voice that sounded like Disney's Stitch. It was a running gag on me that had the group... Sign in to see full entry.

Shave Me

Some students would shave in high school before at school before the day started. If you were caught with facial hair, you could earn yourself a detention. I did not do that. I shaved at home.
