Slinky

Some people are like Slinkies,
Not really good for anything,
But they still bring a smile to your face
When you push them down a flight of stairs.

Jenn Kim claims to be that Slinky, but I still think it would be funnier to push her down a well. Exactly what Jesus would not do when He met with that woman at the well. Oh well. I just ended three - now, four - sentences with "well."

Are Slinkies even around anymore? I remember when they were all the rage, along with Koosh Balls and slap bracelets.

And, speaking of childhood experiences, since when did Kellogg's start sugar-coating Rice Krispies? I happened to enjoy this classic cereal as a kid...back when it was a purely textural and aural breakfast experience, devoid of both taste and nutritional value. This morning I discovered that it's become all tasty and crap. What a crying shame.

  1. oh slinkies are most definitely still around. and still getting those weird kinks in them where the rings get all criss-crossed and it won't stack nicely anymore. (and yes, i know what word in that sentence made you giggle.) lady m brought one home from work and bubbers and i used to play with it when i was still nannying. good times. :)
