Close. FTFY.

Well done.

 

Thx.

[twinsnorth49]

i think poutine would have been one of those things that I'd take an extra initial helping and went back 9 more times and then be sick for the rest of the day. I'd then learn nothing from it and repeat the process every time it was on the menu.

That's about the size of it.

 

 

There's a reason McCains is one of the largest Canadian companies.

Another great thing about back to school was recess! I remember whether it was sunny, raining, or snowing outside, we always gathered together to play touch football, kickball, or four square.

Are we talking revenue or girth?  Likely both, i surmise.

Those were the days.  Recess for me now involves taking a lap around the office regardless of weather and only if I have 90 seconds to do so.

 

See, I have no real use for yoga pants!

Tetherball in the winter at recess with a frozen ball.....the best!

We're off to a great start this morning, gang! Keep up the chatter. 

[Pardon My Dinger]

Hello? Gang? Did I come on too strong? Dang it, I always do this!

You have that gift of attracting everyone to a thread!

Generational question.

 

School dance last song?

 

For me, everytime Stairway to Heaven began all the guys would start checking if their laces were tied.....on the same side of the gym.

[Vanimal46]

Dinger, back me up on this. There was nothing better than walking into a classroom in the 90's/early 2000's and seeing this in front of the classroom...

Man oh man. I could go for some turkey gravy right about now. The best.

 

We had hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes. Good times. Yah.

Are we talking high school prom? Or middle school dance?

I didn't see any mentions of school lunch or yoga pants, so I went about my business.

Middle school

[Platoon]

i wear sweat pants pretty regularly now. I've contemplated wearing them to work. Comfort beats pretty much every other consideration when you reach a certain stage in life.

I spend almost all winter in shorts. In MN. My standard reply to people who question my sanity: "when is the last known instance of hypothermia in the Wal Mart parking lots?"

Think more reel to reel for me.

There's the loser of the game, and then there's the loser who just does it with no tetherball involved.

Heck, I can back you on that!  

 

That, or a substitute teacher.  They often came hand in hand, but not always.

Middle school

Probably this one:

Or something by Nsync or 98 Degrees.

Lol, and there was always at least one.

We had that too.  I liked it quite a bit as well, but I preferred the turkey gravy more.

Can't decide if that is better or worse than All-4-One.

[Platoon]

Um, you aren't comparing me to a warden for suggesting we be respectful, are you?

As you are well aware, I am not. And while I would need to dig out the Webster for a complete definition, I think 'obtuse' can be stretched to include willful avoidance of the facts!

Hell yeah, brother. That's when you know there's some Bill Nye in your immediate future!

Bill Nye... Conjunction Junction what's your Function?! 

[Squirrel]

Heh, Color My World in Jr. High, but my Sr. prom theme was Saturday In the Park. Guess Chicago gave me some subconscious direction to where I ended up in life.

[Platoon]

Another great thing about back to school... Is school lunch! School lunches I'm sure are night and day different than when we went to elementary/middle/high school. My favorite school lunches were taco day, and square pizza day! 

What were yours?

I do the same think when my wife has me cornered! I try and change the topic. And like me, I imagine this will also fail miserably!

[Vanimal46]

The scandalous song of the middle school dance was Nelly "Hot in Herre"
