    Can it be Poin if the student is older than the teacher?

    Yeah, I think we're going to need a ruling.

    I give all bugs, spiders and critters a wide berth in Australia. I don’t have evidence to back this up, but I’m pretty sure all species here are more dangerous just because they’re Australian.

    I went to this when I was 7, remember it like it was yesterday because I hated every minute of that acid trip of a tourist trap.

    Add: You know that scene in A Christmas Story where Ralphie freaks out visiting Santa Claus and gets tossed down the slide? That scene ptsd’s me right back to HR Molestenstuff’s theme park visit every year!

    I came at it from a different angle. I was 19 or so, and had worked at Six Flags as a costumed character, wearing the Pufnstuf characters as it happened. I also understood a bit about how theme parks worked, and the entire set up at Kroft's kinda blew my mind. Six Flags liked hiring teenage kids and working the snot out of them for minimum wage. Kroft paid skilled performers of all sorts instead of buying the big rides. Very different world.

    I can see how it would creep out a little kid though. I've certainly never seen another place like it.

    Sure, as long as there's an article and a picture. Preferably of a six.

    Great. So what kitchen appliance failed yesterday? The garbage disposal, of course.

    Porter Square in Cambridge.

    And Petco Park has some steep steps and escalators going into the stadium.

    But as is the case with all metro stations there, it's a visual treat when you finally get there.

    Don't remind motorsports fans of the walkway at Charlotte Motor Speedway that gave way.

    Wow. I bet you could just push somebody down that thing and not even worry about finding a window.
