cmyx6go wroteEh I had this when I had gym class, last was about 4 years agoDodgeball in gym class. That would never be allowed these days.
I know I'm getting old though; sophomore year I blacked out, somehow went to my apartment. Failed to find the bed so I slept on the floor of my bathroom. My alarm woke me up and I made it freshly showered and at least passable to my 9am physics lab. Two years later - I'll have 5-6 drinks and I'm out of commission for the next day

A pack of smokes were 17 cents from the machine, but you needed two dimes to buy them. the pack had a small envelope taped to it with three cent in it for your change. Plus a book of matches came with each sale.

I remember when we moved to SoCal and there were a seemingly endless number of channels to watch. Had no idea there were more than CBS, ABC, NBC and PBS!
