Staying up late on Saturday night watching tales from the cript on HBO. Then switch over and watch head bangers ball on MTV. Good times.

I guess that means I miss the simple joys of being a kid. Going into the woods building forts and playing army. We used to think Bigfoot was in the woods and searched for him daily. Lol

Me and my friends dug a "foxhole". Covered it with tin, then leaves and brush, you couldn't tell it was there. It fit all 4 of us, and was cool as anything until we got in it with a snake one day.

And from the what the hell were they thinking, these gems. For the record, I do not want these back.

Yeah, I guess they are still out there. I liked both and I never smoked or dipped.

Roller skating at Governors on Clinton Hwy in Powell with my big sister.

Ahhh yes the local roller rink was a big time hang out as a kid! The great thing about it was when the slow music started playing it exposed the losers in the building pretty quickly with one phrase over the PA...

"Attention please. Couples only! Couples...only!"

Yep.
