click clacks, baseball cards.
And black superballs. We'd hit them with a baseball bat and put them into orbit.

Shawnee123 · 06-09-2010, 11:23 AM

Yeah, clackers and superballs! Yay!

I don't remember them causing any problems during school, though, except the occasional "outing of someone's eye."

The cake was yummy and my bra is digging in.

Speaking of which - What exactly DOES that mean?

lookout123 · 06-10-2010, 03:06 PM

it's where the government steals your land and throws a few dollars at you.

Oh no, they just do what they want on their right-of-way, and you still pay taxes on the land.

classicman · 06-10-2010, 03:21 PM

But but but - IIRC there isn't that much room out front of their place as it is. What are they gonna do start putting street signs on the front door?

lookout123 · 06-10-2010, 03:27 PM

nah. Jinx will take care of it. She'll dress her cats up with some tattoos and vinyl and scare all the evil government workers away. Jim will be so happy when he gets home he'll record himself singing a song and a take a picture of jinx trying not to laugh at him. Then they'll have posts for about 8 different threads telling us about their day.

There's 1 big accident in the intersection every year - caused by the parking on the street that blocks the view of cars coming. If they would just not allow street parking for a few hundred feet in each direction everything would be fine. But they say that would hurt the business of the pizza place (owner of which is opposed to street light) - but pizza place has parking in the rear.
It's stupid.
The people who are all for don't live near the intersection (mostly self-important volunteer firemen who stand around drinking coffee, spitting tobacco juice, and talking about 'something needs to be done" once a year when there's an accident) - the people that are against it do.

It's not about how the light would look, it's about big trucks slowing down, idling, and accelerating right in front of my house. That would suck.

Undertoad · 06-11-2010, 12:16 PM

Are the trucks just trying to avoid paying turnpike tolls?

lookout123 · 06-11-2010, 01:22 PM

I read that as "turnpike trolls". It made me laugh. Turnpikes would be waaay awesomer if they really did have trolls wandering around demanding payment.

jinx · 06-11-2010, 01:58 PM

Idk UT, avoiding tolls or avoiding rt30.

Undertoad · 06-11-2010, 02:01 PM

Argh! Do you have good windows? I was in a house once where there was noise outside, but it was totally quiet inside, and they said the replacement windows changed everything wrt noise.

jinx · 06-11-2010, 02:07 PM

Original windows. Might as well not have any...
