The only thing I know for sure is that I am older than Tator tots!! I never did a lion report so I found your facts fascinating. As for my gray matter--what was your name again??

Posted: Aug 4, 08 6:21amPosted: Aug 4, 08 6:25amThe moment I directed my mind to remembering Trivia, I promptly forgot my childhood - with one exception: The argument I had in early elementary when they attempted to teach us the value of an assembly line when making facial-tissue flowers. I was adamantly against it! I didn't care that more flowers could be produced in a shorter time frame, I only cared about the joy and pride of being able to create a flower! Why this memory hangs over my head is beyond me - except I still think I was right! lol. Posted: Aug 4, 08 6:29am![]() How about you? Is there any worthless bit of trivia that you've somehow retained while the really important information (like your bra size) has vanished? ![]() I never knew my bra-size but I remember the lads giggling in a history lesson: The Earl of Condom was a knighted personal physician to England's King Charles II in the mid-1600's. The Earl was requested to produce a method to protect the King from syphillis.(Charles the II's pleasure-loving nature was notorious).

Posted: Aug 4, 08 6:30am![]() Lions are afraid of three things: 1.) Zorilles (these are skunks) 2.) Laundry hanging on the line 3.) Children ![]() Lions are afraid of clotheslines? Ha! I remember Marlon Perkins and Jim. And they never mentioned this Ms Farguar. Not once.

Posted: Aug 4, 08 6:33amThank God I've kept myself in fairly good shape and don't have to wear a bra! I can't remember phone numbers - including my own cell phone and my wife's cell. I have to keep them written on a piece of paper. I also can't remember names of people I've been introduced to only once or twice. I do remember to turn out lights, turn off the stove burners lock doors and turn the headlights off when I exit my car. So, I'm not ready for the Institute for the Terminally Used Up yet. But, I do not remember to water the plants in my office. I cured that one - I got all artificial flowers and cacti now! If I remember to water the cacti about once every three months, they do okay. But I do remember who starred in the 1945 movie "Father was a Fullback. It was Fred MacMurray and Natalie Wood. I even remember word-for-word the silly song they sang in the movie, "Okle-Baby-Dockle Likle Ikle Okle You!" I also remember my elementary school, all of my teachers there and many of the students like it was yesterday. I am still sharp enough to have a book in the publishing pipeline but I can't for the life of me remember the name of my editor! She must be pretty okay though. She loves how I turn a phrase! ![]() Leidy School. Built 1844. I was not in the first graduating class! |
