+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 03:54 PM) What's really creepy is wearing 'em on your toes. Not that John does....
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 03:13 PM) I really didn't expect you to do it at McDonald's though. That was weird.
+John :	(30 July 2010 - 03:09 PM) I liked to stick Bugles Corn Chips on the tips of all my fingers to give the look that I had claws.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 03:02 PM) I had a jelly bean stuck in my ear once. It was delicious.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 03:02 PM) That counts for A LOT!!!
+Wyldfyre63 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:54 PM) I shoved a small pink pencil erasure up my nose when I was little, does that count for anything?
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:35 PM) Did you bring the Elmers??????
+Scrapinator :	(30 July 2010 - 02:23 PM) I do miss some interesting discussions when I am gone for a while
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:23 PM) That was the Southwest Ranch flavored.
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 02:22 PM) I always thought Elmer's Glue-All had a certain "tangy zip" to it.
+mistylady :	(30 July 2010 - 02:21 PM) I had a hard time keeping paste in the classroom. My kids would sneak bites when they thought I wasn't looking. Finally was able to get glue sticks. Took all the fun out of pasting. I remember eating paste when I was little, too.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:20 PM) Yes.
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 02:17 PM) I did the glue hands thing too! I never ate Elmer's though. But I was VERY tempted. It smells just like Miracle Whip. Wait, does that mean…?
Rhonda :	(30 July 2010 - 02:12 PM) Well, I was also a dweeb, so they can't blame the pot in my case
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:07 PM) I think 95% of folks our age partook...say...that could explain a few things. And they blamed the pot!
Rhonda :	(30 July 2010 - 02:06 PM) No wonder I turned out so weird.
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:06 PM) It's a wonder what hasn't been erased hasn't stuck together.
Rhonda :	(30 July 2010 - 02:05 PM) I remember the glue on the hands, too. I think I ate that also. It's a wonder I lived through childhood.
Rhonda :	(30 July 2010 - 02:05 PM) The teacher asked me what in the world I had been eating, and I said, "My eraser."
+Bill 007 :	(30 July 2010 - 02:04 PM) We used to smear Elmer's glue on our hands, let it dry, then peel it off. I miss those days! Not the eraser eating, but everything else.

Oh, no! This is so upsetting. I'm especially worried about DeLeo's Deli. I hope there won't be too much damage to the properties in the area and I'm praying no one will be injured.

Yeah, my first thoughts were of Tom also. I trust the EPFD will knock it down quick!

From a 9news.com article, "There is the danger of losing approximately one block of buildings. Several area towns have sent their fire departments up to help out." - http://www.9news.com...25338&catid=339

I just had a good look at it and it looks like it is only the Park Mall that is on fire. It looks like the fire crews are doing a good job and keeping it pretty well contained. The businesses on either side of it are still intact and not showing major burn damage. I'll get a few new pictures up in a few minutes.

CBS news is also reporting firefighters are drawing water from the river there too.

Sure hope the damage isn't too bad. Some of those buildings were built in the 1920's.

Oh, no! Kuddos to the fire department(s) - great folks doing amazing jobs. It does look like DeLeo's (also my first thought!) is ok. What a terrible morning for EP.

Link to Channel 7's coverage.

The video on the Channel 9 link Aaron posted said some local guy who has antique firetrucks had even brought one of his ladder trucks in and was using it to pump water.
