Days of old

Posted on July 28, 2007 By Liquid Egg Product 4 Comments on Days of old
History

When you were a kid did you ever…

  1. Try to figure out how many licks it took to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop?
  2. Get a “kick me” sign stuck on your back? And actually get kicked?
  3. Get confused because you associated “grimace” with happiness because of the McDonald’s character, just to find out something different from a vocab list?
  4. Try to build an igloo in winter?
  5. Get a guilt-trip from your parents about not eating awful food because of starving kids in Ethiopia?
  6. Have an irrational fear of Mr. Glitch from Mathman?
  7. Have other kids try to convince you there’s a ring around the Earth because the equator’s a yellow line on the globe? (I didn’t fall for it.)
  8. Think Duck Tales was a good show?
  9. Think America’s Funniest Home Videos was a good show?
  10. Discover that…oh, I don’t have the guts to say this one.
  11. Get a fingernail ripped off by performing a foolishly risky biking maneuver?
  12. Have teenagers pretend to offer you cocaine when it’s really just a handful of snow?
  13. Think you would ever get to be as old as you are now?

    I know I comment too much. But lists are too hard to resist.
    1) I could never get how many licks. I cut my tongue on Lick #53 and bit the rest off.
    2) Yes. My cousin Allen. He also made rubber band guns using a clothespin as the trigger. I’m still afraid of balloons and rubber bands to this day.
    3) YES! I never got it. HE WAS SMILING ALL THE TIME!
    4) I’m from Texas. What’s an igloo?
    5) ALL THE TIME. I still didn’t eat. Now I eat too much.
    6) I had an overall irrational fear of math.
    7) Huh? I probably would have believed it.
    8) “Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg…” I loved that show. But Punky Brewster was the best.
    9) I got tired of watching people get hit in the groin. Plus Bob Saget’s “animal” voice is really grating.
    10) Ok. What? WHAT?
    11) No but I did have part of my knee ripped off while going for a layup in Joe Huang’s driveway after colliding with you
    12) No. haha. No. That’s funny and kind of scary.
    13) Yeah but I thought I would look lots different. I’m pretty much living my life the way I thought I would though. 🙂

    1. Yes, and I lost count when it got somewhere over a hundred. I never bit lollypops, so I couldn’t ‘cheat’ like that cheezy owl did…
    2. Not ‘kick me’, but I remember distinctly getting some other kind of sign taped on me. Don’t remember what it said, although it was so obvious I took it off quickly.
    3. I thought ‘Grimace’ was a name for the longest. When I found out it was a scowl I wasn’t really surprised…the purple guy always seemed sorta sad to me.
    4. Yep, after I made a few bricks I got bored and tried to dig out a fort. It would always cave in.
    5. Hardly ever – my parents would try to make me eat with ‘One more bite for ‘. It usually worked, strangely.
    6. Very much so…I had nightmares about that guy.
    7. No, and I probably wouldn’t have believed it. Read too many books.
    8. Oh yes. I always wanted Gizmoduck to blow more stuff up though…
    9. Sadly, yes. I used to like Full House too. Don’t ask me why, because I don’t know.
    10. Well, then, I probably didn’t. I was mostly a goody-two-shoes.
    11. Nope, but I ripped my face up real good sliding off a skateboard from my stomach, and broke my wrist twice – once jumping/sliding off a wet power transformer, once failing to balance on a soccer ball. I had a knack for getting injured in embarrasing fashion.
    12. No, I’m sure I knew some aspiring drug pushers but they all hid it pretty well.
    13. Yep, but I couldn’t have pictured it. Are we ‘old’ yet? That definition keeps changing as I age.

    Fun stuff, guys.

    Annie: You don’t comment too much; they’re always enjoyable! I think I remember #11 happening now.

    Chessloser: Yep, you aren’t the only one.

    Kevin: I’m glad to hear someone else was scared of Mr. Glitch, ’cause that was pretty embarrassing.
