I got one as a Christmas gift in 6 or 7th grade... and the book of how to solve it. The book was more complicated than the cube... I never did solve more than two sides... what a big waste of time...

Lol. It's like one of the arcade games - all you do sit around and fry your brain with it while gaining weight. :lol:

I stay out of the arcade... If I start playing, I will never leave PM... I'd just play games while waiting for some interesting posts... my poor children would starve...

Are you out of school now?

It was 1994 and I was traveling to visit a friend in...you guessed it...Michigan. Anyway, I made the mistake of leaving the bus station at about 12 midnight in St. Louis. To make a long story short (this was one of those neighborhoods that you just DON'T want to be in) I was approached by a gangster, who asked me why I was wearing blue shoes. Well, they were green, and I told him, and he was visibly cheered. Anyway, here's the part that still strikes me as funny, or at least ironic. I was wearing a blue plaid shirt. The gangster was color blind. (A COLOR BLIND GANGSTER!??)

[quote name='voiciblanche' date='May 29 2004, 04:15 PM'] I was watching I Love The '80's Strikes Back and a commercial came on for the new I Love The '90's. So, since we've already talked about our favorite '80's stuff, let's talk about our favorite '90's stuff.

I know! I saw that commercial last night, and I couldn't believe it! [b]I can't wait![/b]

God bless,

[quote name='rachael' date='May 29 2004, 07:57 PM'] Remember the Oklahoma City bombing?

or the

OJ Simpson case? [/quote]
Yes and yes! I especially remember the OJ Simpson case because my mom was nearly obsessed with it, and the trial on CNN was on our TV for hours each day. :lol: (And, yeah, my mom and I thought -- and still think -- that he's guilty.)

God bless,

Jen

I thought Mo Rocca, Michael Ian Black, Donal Logue, and Hal Sparks were all hysterical. :lol:


...SNAUSAGES...
