ked

A kind of shoe similar to a sneaker, but it is a solid color (almost always white) and is flimsier than a sneaker. Sneakers go up higher on your ankle than Keds do, thus offering more ankle support. Keds are easier to take off, as you can generally just slip your foot out of them.

Did you see that? That lady was trying to climb that mountain in keds!

Tuck Everlasting

A fantastic, fantastic book by Natalie Babbitt. Not a children's book if your association with children's books includes pictures, but a book with some cool concepts that middle schoolers or elementry school kids can really understand. It's about a family who drank from a hidden spring, and it caused them to live forever, without aging (though when they drank from it they had no idea it wasn't just an ordinay spring.) It probably sounds like a stupid, simple book, but it's great to get discussions going (or just make people think) about if you would really WANT to live forever, if given the opportunity. Especially these days when we're not sure what the future of the planet is, would you really want to be committed to living forever, no matter what? FOREVER?

Miss Alabama in 1994, when asked if she would want to live forever if it were possible: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever."

Tuck Everlasting was also a movie, but I did not see it, so I cannot comment on it.

got you last no returns

A stupid thing boys say in early elementary school that has no real purpose. Kid A will tag kid B, and then as kid A is running away as fast as possible, he will yell "got you last no returns!" which means that kid B is tagged, and can't tag kid A back. Kid B will say to himself "darn!" but that is about the extent of its impact on his life.
Sometimes kid B will try to tag kid A back, before kid A can say "got you last no returns," but kid A is prepared for this, and will jump backwards so as to be out of kid B's reach.
Again, none of this has any real purpose, because it is not in the context of a game of tag; it is just random.

As we were passing the other second grade class, two boys from the other line ran through our entire line tagging everyone saying "got you last no returns" to each of us, as fast as they could.

Four years later, the same two boys still had not gotten over the fascination of got you last no returns, and as one of them was passing by me, he tagged me... but, not thinking, he accidently tagged my chest. I think this surprised both of us, because he ran away even faster than usual.

Dustin Diamond

Dustin Diamond co-starred as Samuel Powers, aka Screech, in Saved By The Bell. He started the show when the class was in 8th grade, with Ms. Bliss, continued with it throughout high school, AND the college years, AND he was still there for "the new class."

Dustin Diamond did NOT improve with age, and would probably have had a hard time getting any other role in anything, since he was instantly recognizeable as Screech.

Screech is the epitome of a dork.

Glider Pro

If you haven't heard of the computer game Glider, you should read that definition before reading this one.

Glider Pro was what came after the original Glider, adding to it lots of new things, but it was essentially the same game. In Glider pro there are more room backgrounds.... you can link a switch to an object in another room.... there are LOTS more objects... etc., etc., etc. Makes building rooms/houses more fun because you have more options, but loses some of the charm of the original Glider. There is a Glider Pro for Mac OS X, but it doesn't have room editor. The one for OS 9, which does have a room editor, works on OS X machines that have a "classic" mode, but it freezes randomly for no reason.

note: Cassidy & Greene, the company that licensed Glider and Glider Pro, went bankrupt several years ago. The author, John Calhoun, has made Glider Pro available online for free, as shareware. Go to Google and search for Glider OS X, and you can download Glider Pro-- the OS X or the OS 9. As far as I know, Glider Pro is only available for the Mac.

I have spent HOURS playing Glider Pro, or Glidering.
