DAILY DOSE: "That's When a Smoke Was a Smoke, and Groovin' Was Groovin'"
Damn, I loves me a little John "Don't Call me Cougar" Mellancamp. Today's Song is, of course, "Cherry Bomb." That song never fails to make me feel happier. I'm young and I am improvin'.
I only bring up the good 'ol days because Pizz and I had a great little conversation the other day about classroom games. Sure, everyone played "hot hands" and paper football, but does anyone out there remember Pencil Wars? Or Perhaps "Bloody Knuckles." I can't say I ever personally played these games (largely because I was a wuss), but we also got a kick out reminiscing about the War Tablet Game.
It's when you took one of those Elementary School tablets that were made of recycled paper. You know, the one's with the Big Blue Eagle on the front? Each side would take a pen and draw their army, battleship style. Then, you would take another piece of paper, and flip it back and forth between the two tablet sheets using it to "fire shots" at your opponent's otherwise "hidden" army. I remember we would make up impromptu rules, like each side had one "nuke" or if you hit the other guy's flag, you won automatically. Z and Pizz remembered this game with great fondness. It wasn't just an HW Good thing, was it?
That's about all I have time for today. I'll be back soon with more of what you're lookin' for.
PS: David Lee Roth's radio show sucks. Someone remind me to rant on this sometime soon...
be good to each other,

PPS: who's out there from "Grapeville" PA-- it's in the Greensburg area. Say hello, identify yourself!
