Wacky Web Tales (50th Anniversary of MadLibs)

Pet Show
While I was wagging to the bus after school, I saw a poster announcing that a pet show would be held the next day in Montana. I was so witty! I couldn't wait to enter my pet horse, don Johnson, in the show.
The next morning at the pet show, don Johnson balanced a big doctor on his nose. Then he cheated around three plastic pencils. Suddenly, a big platypus bumped into don Johnson. He shot 7 feet in the air. The judge made a terrible face when he saw what happened, so I didn't think don Johnson would win. Imagine my surprise when he won the number 4 prize! I was happy to have a great horse like don Johnson."0

Ahhh, Madlibs. I remember these when I was a kid. I loved doing these, although I had a hard time with parts of speech back then...still do to some degree. I would do a few at a time, and I would crack up laughing when I read the story that came of it.

Ahh Memories.

Mr. Wizard

Anyone remember a shows called Mr. Wizard's World? I found out that Mr. Wizard (on Nickelodeonm) died. I used to love watching his show, doing all sorts of cool science experiments. He even had children on his show to do them with him. They asked questions and hypothesized what would happen in each experiment. I had forgotten about this show until today and cant even remember why I stopped watching.

Writing this post reminds me of growing up, I asked mom and dad for a chemistry set. I don't remember doing a lot of experiements (especially the examples) but the one thing I do remember is mixing together some liquid chmicals and it making a powdery substance that was different colors depending on what you added.

Science and math were alwasy subjects I seemed to struggle with, but never the less, I still had fun with doing the experiments in classes and at home.
