Snyder ,'Chosen'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
At least, not if they don't make you find your own partner (ew, Sophia!).
Hell, I tell you! Hell. First it was boy's choice, then girl's choice. And even the choosers seemed to go by popularity (like we just lined up in our natural formation and the teacher started the choosing with the one end that had the popular people on it)
Also, did we know about Jon Stewart:
I box waltzed around Harvard Square one night in high school. Good times.
Okay, you square-dancing freaks. Now I understand why my schools had us playing dodge ball on rainy days in gym class.
When I've tried to work out by swimming I tend to get a little freaked out, because of the non-rational fear of drowning.
I find that trying to exercise via swimming is so boring -- I used to work fractions of how close I was to done on every lap -- that injecting some actual terror into the routine might make the experience worthwhile.

They enjoyed causing pain and humiliation, so that years later we could get so much more out of that scene in "The Pack"?
Well, we played dodge ball with Nerf balls, not hard balls, so it was more of a tactical game. Or I suppose you could call it a Darwinian foam free-for-all.
Certainly, there were no squares of people with pearl-studded shirts and tutu skirts, and no line dancing neither.
Now I want to do the Virginia Reel. We used to do that in camp, or something, and the best time ever was "accidentally" being across from the Boy I Liked.
Plei, maybe the last weekend in January or the last one in February?
Okay!
Either! Both!
I can draw, kinda. Not as well as I once could, but practice and all.
Also, did we know about Jon Stewart:
It was mentioned as a rumor, but that looks pretty official! Yay!
It took me forever to learn to tie my shoes. I was wearing slip-on (pre-velcro) sneakers well into an age where it was embarrassing.
I used the bunny-ears method of shoe-tying for years and years, Sue. I blame my left-handedness.
