You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF."

What was the profound meaning? other than teaching him to block? :P

[gemfyre.livejournal.com]

Not sure.
Maybe sleeping.

Maybe going out it would seem.
Going out BEFORE karaoke would be a better option.
I should come up and let Brooke attack me.

Oregon Trail is a DOS program schools used to use--you would have to get your party from somewhere in the east out to Oregon w/o killing them. I never played it in school when I was little--but I played the updated Mac version w/ my first graders and kids looooooove it.

And Skip-it is a thing you put a loop around your ankle and it has a long plastic rod w/ a ball attached to it, and you make it go around in circles and hop over it with the leg the skip it is not attached to--later versions had a counter in the ball and you could see how many times you did Skip-it. :)

I can't do this survey--it's be pointless, cause I would just bold EVERYTHING! Man, was I a child of the 80s....
