This Should Work

I finally friggin' remember!

The Golden Paper Clip goes to This Girl I Used To Know, if only because she questioned my notes.

The rubber band reference was supposed to be a completely different post. It was about my friend, and a dark day in 20/20 hindsight stupidity.

He had a good sized bag of rubber bands, and we had spent all afternoon linking one after the other until the chain was at least 20 feet long.

The next logical step, of course, was to stretch the chain as far as we could. My friend stood stationary as I walked up the sidewalk, one house after another, sometimes testing the tautness. It was inevitable what happened next: the chain snapped, and 150 feet of overstretched rubberband accelerated at warp speed toward my friend's scrotum.

It would have been much funnier on America's Home Videos. As I understand it, one can not go wrong with a testicular impact gag.

Anyhow, said friend has just started a blog. Please check it out.

I'm a little concerned, because Technorati, etc., will eventually lead back to li'l' ol' LP. The internet is full of Hanzel und Gretel crumbs. But this guy is one of by oldest, best friends, so annonymity be damned. It's not like I'm running for Emporer President! Viva la Work!
