I rarely did such a thing, whereas my wife spent most of her childhood that way.<BR/><BR/>As for "salmon gutter": please listen <A HREF="http://www.simpsoncrazy.com/ralph/media/sounds/salmongutter.mp3" REL="nofollow">here</A> as J. Loren Pryor tells the children of Springfield, including Ralph Wiggum, what their scientifically-selected careers will be.<BR/><BR/>Title of the blog ("Pop Sensation") is also a Ralph quote, from the time he was in a boy band called <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/7333/pictures02/partyposse.jpg" REL="nofollow">Party Posse</A>. There's a great great song by The Bloodhound Gang called "Ralph Wiggum," the lyrics of which are made up entirely of Ralph quotes.

I gotta say, it didn't quite work. She appreciated the time she saved on shampooing, though.<BR/><BR/>I prefer small iguanas. Might be because those are the only ones I've seen in the wild, though.<BR/><BR/>Have you heard of the Body Worlds museum exhibit? Bodies stripped of their skin (flensed!) and fatty tissue, permeated with plasticine, and molded into position (ski jumper! ballet! yoga! baseball!) before the plasticine firms up. Anyway, the exhibit includes some body parts, too—the tarred smoker's lung was impressive, but the coal miner's lung was even more soot-black. (The male full bodies? Testes dangling from spermatic cords. Gripping!) I can't find a way to end this paragraph with "though."<BR/><BR/>Ben's not yet gripped by the reading-by-himself bug. Getting closer, though.<BR/><BR/>I don't like tapirs.

I totally agree with #10--you're not supposed to see scalp. And while I haven't experienced #1, I'm sure your PFA description is PFA--in this case, Pretty Fucking Accurate.<BR/><BR/>I remember my girls loving the Ramona books.

There was an open turtle tank with a sign that read, in large letters, "Please do not touch the turtles." Standing near the tank was a theme park employee beseeching visitors to touch the turtles, assisting people in their turtle-touching.
