You really were/are a nerd.
The thread is getting into Maryann, Jeannie, Irish McCalla, Kate Upton and who knows what other potential hot chicks and YOU divert to pocket protectors?
A POX on you.

At our ages it's like a dog chasing a car, if the car stops the dog doesn't know what to do next.

Remember melting records so they went ripply all around and then making art creations out of them.
One of the kids in art class made an ash tray for his father out one of these warped records.
I guess the ciggy ash was hot enough that it started the ash tray on fire overnight. Burned their house down.
They were lucky to get away without serious injury.

TRUE! I forgot all about that, but I actually DID make an ashtray for my Dad when I was in grade school art class (ceramics).

I still carry a comb for my old white beard.

I think he did mean football, not soccer. My English PE coach was really pissed that I refused to play rugby. I'd heard so much about "old football injuries" that I decided I wasn't going to play a ruffians game and suffer from injuries later in life. I injured my back from high jumping instead.
