You can remember HOW to ding-dong ditch, but you'd not make it down the entry walk before people open the door now.

After we got tired of Ring and Run, we did the UFO thing. Basically, we figured out how to make our own hydrogen balloon with a disposable aluminum pie pan suspended by 3 threads. In the middle of the pan was a small light bulb, aimed at the bottom of the balloon and powered by a single AA cell. Once up in the night air, the pie pan was invisible and the balloon seemed to glow. We got quite a few of the neighbors excited over that one. Heh!

Cameras killed ring and run and caller ID killed prank calls. These poor kids....

1987, I was 11 years old. Mom and dad recently divorced. Dad decided to take my sister and I on a trip to Daytona. Yep, spring break week. Again....11 years old and in the thick of it. T.C.'s Top Dog was the place to be. At 11, this was the pinnacle of my life. Half naked women everywhere! Best vacation ever. Thanks again Dad!

I kid, I kid. At 16 I worked at a grocery store. We used to call other departments and crank call them. We were reported by the produce department for calling and asking if they had Prince Albert in a can. |

Or how about National Geographic magazine? Sometimes your first glimpse of topless viewing when you were an adolescent boy.

For me it was pre-Playboy, as my mom had a subscription to National Geographic when I was young.

36 longs......
Fortunately for me, my firsts were in person; yep...Spring Break. Seeing the college students first, Nat Geo strippers second; it was at that moment that I realized not all things that I like are the same. Pizza is pizza, but not all pizza is good pizza. |
