...and was whisked back to the 3rd grade... my love for Robin S, as sure a thing as any 3rd grader can experience. I was thrilled when we were asked to stay a few minutes after school to clean the blackboards. I remember as he stepped up onto the piano bench to reach the top of the boards, I noticed he was wearing the absolutely most heinous pair of Toughskins... and like that, it was over.

George Harrison is a treasure.
And your 3rd grade love experience was way cooler than mine, with the George Harrison song and everything. My love at that time in my life was Clayton N. He had snow white hair, total bowl cut. I used to sit in front of my record player and play "I Honestly Love You" by Olivia Newton John over and over again.

My third grade love interest was the teacher. She seemed so experienced, you know?

Gross, z.
I swear I saw a college kid wearing glacier glasses today and I was IMMEDIATELY transported back in time. I forgot everything about them, what they were called, their very existence, and then BAM.

WHOAH. Capcha gave me a numeric word. DECIMAL, even.
I am even more worried now that Skynet may make it to sentience before we can pull off the zompocalypse.

There seem to be four reasons that can make them popular: (a) your job takes you to Antarctica regularly; (b) you're an octogenarian dude on a mobility trike; (c) you have the Aspergers and don't like sensory bombardment; or (d) your pupiliary reflexes are stuffed so you don't handle sunlight well.
I only fit into one of these categories.

BG- I'd rather inspire than infuriate! I loved that song, but for some reason, unlike other songs I love, it has not followed me through life as much and is still encapsulated in that specific time. And yes, George is a treasure.
Still laughing at "I Honestly Love You". :)
I believe I lost the thread of Zombie's comment progression... as if there ever was one.
I also like glacier glasses and had forgotten about them. I could use them for my mole eyes with huge pupils.
Have you ever gone out on a really bright day and forgotten your sunglasses, so you have to close one eye to deal with the brightness?? Why is it only a certain eye will work? Hmmm? I Have to close my right eye. The left eye won't cut it.

Zombie has been in Canada. That may have affected his cognitive processes.
