A nice story. Made me smile and remeber my old adventures.
But the cynic in me says somehow, somewhere, someone will charge the parents with child neglect or child endangerment. Where were the parents? Weren't they watching these kids? blah, blah, blah.
I've got some titanium screws in my knee, my father-in-law has total hip replacement, my mother-in-law has plastic heart valves and my boss had both knees replaced. We're not on immunosuppressives. I dunno..I'm not a doctor.
I never really understood why that poor guys gets bashed for "It was a dark and stormy night." I fully understood what he meant. Some nights are darker than others; take a night with a full moon compared to a night with a new moon for example. So combine a storm and a moonless night, and you get a "dark and stormy night". I admit he didn't convey his allusion perfectly but I got it.
English majors take themselves far too seriously I guess.
Woohoo! Yer own personal moonshine maker! Tired of high booze prices? No pesky taxes, no pesky ID's required! Completely unregulated by the gov'ment! Be the most popular kid at school!
Select "liquor". Distill. Collect grain alcohol in appropriate container. Party on!
I took my family to see an IMAX film about hollywood special effects. A young boy of maybe three was sitting next to me. There was a scene involving the animatronic lion created for the Chronicles of Narnia. Basically there is seventy foot high lion head on the screen. The boy started to cry saying it was scary. (and to a kid it probably was). The mother consoled him and tried to explain that it wasn't real. It was a kind of puppet. The kid looks back to the screen, but by now they've peeled off the fur to expose the robot underneath. That lion is now a seventy foot tall lion-terminator snarling in super-surround sound! It's probably ten, no a hundred, times scarier than it was before. He starts scream-crying, "Monster, mommy, Monster!" His mom is deperately trying to calm him. I even tried to help console the kid but he is way past rational thought at this point. He bolts from his seat screaming the entire way out of the theater with Mom trailing after him.
Hehe...Don't run. We are your friends.
