Holy Ticking Clock Batman!
none of my [college] students was alive, for example, when Ronald Reagan was elected president... a quote from a review of this book.
Nobody said the 1980s would become more than 20 years ago! I am not supposed to have a 20 year high school reunion next year! I did not vote for this! You! Ticking clock! You stop that, right now!
When I was little I was amazed that my mom and dad could remember a time when there was no such thing as TV. Amazed. But they were kids, little kids, when The Great Couch Potato Creator made its debut. I can't even begin to count the number of technologies Olivia will take for granted that didn't exist when I graduated high school.
Oh shut up. Shut up. You're catching up with me. And don't worry, I have your walker right here...
I am not supposed to have my 45th reunion the same year you have your 20th. Don't make jokes about walkers or I will have to hit you with mine. lol

There were no TV stations in the state but we did get a station about two weeks after dad got the TV. We could get a test pattern from KATV which would go on air, we would sit and look at it. We could get a very snowy picture from a station in Memphis. I remember rabbit ears on top of the TV and your grandfather falling off the roof while he and my Uncle Jeff were trying to install an antenna. lol

Of course, I'm not coming up on my 20th. 17th, maybe.
Of course, it'll be interesting for you to go and see if they've bothered to put one of them there new-fangled floors in your school instead of just dirt.
Oh Ron, don't worry too much about that bullseye painted on the back of your t-shirt. After all, it will have a cowboy star on the front. Just keep looking at the shiny lights! Oooh... shiny...
*BANG*

:) :) :)
Posted by: scott on September 22, 2005 08:00 PMhmmm - remember my pattern with the hand cannon? at the same distance that you were shooting from?
The only time I brought the target close was one full clip going as fast as I can. And even then, I managed a nice grouping. In fact, at any range, I think I was only off the silouhette (sp) once.
Once.
Ron for President! 2008!

I would just like to remind you guys of my grouping...across the neck.
