+dianeh85 :	(30 July 2010 - 04:29 PM) I was partial to the orange glue with the slanty top
+zzcoop :	(30 July 2010 - 04:25 PM) Wearing them on your toes is okay. It's eating them afterward when things get creepy.
+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.
