I liked the peanut ones when they weren't coloured, just shiny coated chocolate.

Coming weeks, all M&M's here come in orange, red, white and blue. Mainly orange, if the picture on the packages it correct.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

I went to high school with some famous* AFL footballers. One of them, Jimmy Bartel is touted as a paragon of the game, but at high school he bullied me a lot and was a total prick.

...Good looking though :/



*= famous in so far as anyone that follows AFL properly would definitely be aware of them

My high school had a circus complete with a permanent tent in addition to the sports teams and band stuff.  We also had a member  of the Wallenda family who taught circus arts at the high school and junior high school.

This is in Florida?  I think the Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey winter in Fla.

Yes Sarasota,  It was the winter home before they moved down a town to Venice.  It's also the home of the Ringling Museum which is about a block from my sister's house and the Clown College.  It was an interesting place to grow up I knew tight rope walkers and trapeze people who had set ups in their back yards to practice on.  My sister was friends with a couple who had 12 chimps

Years ago we visited a small circus museum in San Antonio.  Emphasis on small.

I fell backwards off the sea wall at the Ringling Museum when the railing I was leaning on gave way.  I fell about eight feet and landed in knee deep water unhurt much to everyone's surprise

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

Somehow this post is extremely funny for me. Haven't got the faintest idea why.

I'm learning how to score bowling, although it's done by the alley.  Some pins fall too late to be recorded as down, so we keep a supplemental score.

I would like to see your stash sometime. Do you also have fluorescent fixture ballasts, Mercury vapor 1000 watt lamps etc?
