When my dog brought me his stuffed toy to play a game of fetch last night while I was watching TV. It's not how far I throw it, it's how many times I am willing to throw it for him that counts.

Not me. I threw them in the trash when I moved out of FL.
(from Wikipedia) Disco Demolition Night was a promotional event that took place on Thursday, July 12, 1979, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois. It was held during the twi-night doubleheader baseball game between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. During the climax of the event, rowdy fans surged onto the field, and a near riot ensued.
The turnout for this promotion far exceeded all expectations. White Sox management was hoping for a crowd of 12,000, about the double the average for a Thursday night game that year. But an estimated 90,000 turned up at the 52,000-seat stadium. The result was so disasterous that the White Sox had to forfeit the second game.
See? It is the little things that are most amusing!

Now that school is starting up I though it would be fun to find out What were some of the things you looked forward to when you were younger and were getting ready to go back to school ? I always loved having new supplies for school, new notebooks, new folders, new pens, everything... I still love that , actually!

What were some of the things you looked forward to when you were younger and were getting ready to go back to school ? I liked the newness of everything - the clothes, the books...and Youth Football. Not because I liked the game or even understood it. My dad was a coach and it was fun to hang out on the sidelines watching practice.
What was the last thing that would of had you saying "See it is the little things that are most amusing" Yesterday was like a steam bath here. I was driving home from work and these 2 boys were by the road. One had a water hose & the other had a sign. As I approached, he held up the sign - it said "PLEASE HONK!!!" & he was pumping his fist like you do to truckers. So I honked, and his pal squirted him with the hose! So I stopped & rolled down my window to inquire. They were taking turns - every honk was rewarded with a cool blast of the hose!
How many here made their own book covers for school using a brown grocery bag ? Thanks for the trip down memory lane! We loved those because we could fill them with "autographs" and doodles.
How many here still have any vinyl records ? Double H should break the record on this one! (pun intended!!)

What were some of the things you looked forward to when you were younger and were getting ready to go back to school ?
Back to School! A new pencil box and bright shiny yellow pencils and a pencil sharpener and a little plastic ruler and a two colored eraser (pink and grey) that had never been used yet, and a pad of paper and probably a compass that won't be needed until plane geometry years and years in the future ; Some new plaid shirts.....flannel ones for winter....they will never look the same after they have been washed.....but the first day of school -- even the top button buttoned in honor of the auspiciousness of the day; new high top sneakers.....oh blisters on the heels of the barefoot boy of summer! Even new underware and socks. A brand new school year and a brand grade....a new teacher....a new desk assignment....a brand new me....a fresh start.....everything is brand spanking new.
