+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 :smile1:
+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.

    Just thinking of a trip I did up to Andrews Tarn with Fireman Jim on July 1st of 08 and found this picture of Jim's that shows me crossing the crux of the climb. It is the steep snow just below the Tarn and we had to get on the rock across the snow I was crossing:

    I know that spot, but I've never had to cross snow there.

    That was a good day for memories Ed! We'll be back out this summer after missing the Park for only the 2nd time since 1992 last year.

    Here is a slideshow of the rest of the day with Ed: A Stroll in the Park with Igloo Ed
