I look more rad than Lutheranism

The childhood toy I remember loving and losing was a Stretch Monster, an ugly green monster that you could pull and stretch. My brother poked a hole in him. There was purple goo inside that got all over the carpet. He was in double-trouble - my mom was pissed that he ruined the carpet and I was furious that he ruined one of my favorite toys!

Gloomcookie, you could have copied and pasted that directly out of my brain! We also had a Stretch Octopus (in powder blue). And if you punched the Stretch [toy], rather than stretching it slowly, the goo inside was all hard and really hurt your hand! (Or your little brother, if you chose to pummel him with the Stretch Monster. And by "you," I mean me.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I remember the Stretch Monster and Stretch Armstrong (a friend had one) but not Stretch Octopus. Except when I think the phrase "Stretch Octopus" in my head, it seems... oddly familiar....

There's a great 2 Nice Girls song about She-Ra, Princess of Power. Anyway, I'm off to the pep rally. Go Cats! Or, um, something.

I'm not the spirit-est of teachers, I'm afraid. Bye!

In grade school I had some bad experiences with School Spirit....

I just heard one of my tech support cohorts say tensely "He's not responding" and for some reason my mind when automatically to a House place, and I wondered what clever treatment Dr. House would come up with next.

I think I need a break, and the 11-hour-days/We're-buying-you-lunch-so-you-don't-have-to-leave-your-desk days need to end.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In my high school (which was big--around 3,000 students), people got points for participating in school-related activities. The Pep Squad petitioned the student government for extra points, because keeping up school spirit was such a big job that they worked extra hours. In the next student gov. meeting, a bunch of my friends petitioned that if the Pep Squad got extra points, THEIR new club, the "Tornado Watchers," should get even more extra points, as they watched for tornadoes 24 hours a day. The pep squad got angry, there was crying and yelling and flouncing out. All in all, a great day for all of us who had no school spirit.
