Cinnamon is the best, and cinnamon and sugar on toast is really good.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Larry!
Wait, wait, wait... can we go back for a second here? Matthew read Proust in 9th Grade?????In 9th grade I'm pretty sure I was reading Sweet Valley High. Geez. Color me impressed!
I was reading Mad magazine in 9th grade.
I was reading Anne McCaffrey and Mrs. Pollifax books in 9th grade. And Erma Bombeck, for some reason.
In ninth grade I was reading Phillip Jose Farmer and Roger Zelazny. And not kissing girls.
Erma Bombeck! I loved her books! My sister writes a monthly column for Gilbert,AZ that is completley EB style. Hi-larious!
i like an egg on my toast (apropos to nothing)
You people need to start putting author links in your posts so I can know who you're talking about.Anne McCaffrey
Erma Bombeck
Roger Zelazny
The other ones don't come up in a search...
I think I read some Zelazny in 9th grade, too. And was not kissing girls.
erma bombeck: the grass is always greener over the septic tank
my mom always liked erma and i thought she was cool and funny for an old lady LOL
Not exactly typical 9th grade reading material, though. I think my parents must have had her books in the house, and since they were funny, I read 'em.
my mom introduced me to James Whitcomb Riley
in book form as he was long worm food by the time i was born
Yea, otherwise that woulda been kinda icky.
well, we had a ouja board when i was little
Ooh! Those are so creepy. Had a very bad experience in high school and will not touch one now. No, no, no.
I'm winding down after an over-the-top James Taylor concert tonight here in Omaha. He is just an unbelievable performer. I know RA, you hate him. We were about 11th row center in the fairly small (2500) Civic Auditorium.I had comp tickets because my friend has toured with him a lot over the past couple of years as a sound engineer. He's not on this part of the tour -- but is going with him to Europe in June.
Excellent show! James is a certified crazy man. Excellent band with him, too.
Okay. I'm off to bed now.
Huh. My mom saw him live years ago and said he was boring.
Lar, you had a great time and that is what counts! I'm happy for ya. ;)
Yeah, Larry, I'm just glad you got out of the house and did something (you consider) fun. You work so much you deserve a night out.The semester is rapidly coming to an end....three more classes...two of them today...
yesterday's rain has ceased for the moment, the birds are singing, the day looks like a good one, i have had my cereal BUT if i don't get some coffee pronto things are gonna start getting ugly

On a somewhat related note,the school mascot for the Arkansas School for the Deaf is the leopard. They call themselves "the Deaf Leopards."

I didn't do any recreational reading in the 9th grade - I didn't have time (and that made me immensely sad).
Our assigned reading list:
Romeo & Juliet by Shakespeare (my fave of the year)
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Beowulf (author unknown)
Lamb to the Slaughter and other Short Stories by Roald Dahl (my second fave)
...and everything else was forgettable.
yeah, Lord Of The Flies gives the willy's as a kid. not quite the parent-less nirvana that Box Car Children was
I ABHORRED reading Lord of the Flies. Dicks (for making it required reading).
Are you serious about the Deaf Leopard thing, Heidi?
i think even the drummer for Def Leppard would applaud this name, well, if, well...... forget it
Mod
Larry, your concert sounded amazing. Is the civic auditorium indoor or out?

Maybe he would just give a drum roll instead.

I never know what's going on, ignorance is bliss :-).

Kevin "El Liso Grande" wrote: "i think even the drummer for Def Leppard would applaud this name, well, if, well...... forget it"I got it, Kevin! The drummer for Def Leppard cannot applaud, as he only has one arm anymore, after the wreck. And yet, he's still the drummer for the band, which I think is really cool.
Sheesh, you guys need to brush up on your 80's hair band trivia!
You have to get your priorities straight, Larry.
