| Quick Change Game |
Here’s a game that I tested last week in front of a group of about 70 junior highers. Very entertaining- they all loved it!
Prepare three or four costumes and grab the same number of volunteers. I used an old military uniform, one of those old polyester Taco Bell uniforms (it was my friends, NOT MINE! ), and a 70’s outfit. Each ridiculous looking costume consisted of a pair of pants, a top, a pair of glasses, and a hat. I set the costume in front of each participant, handed them each a balloon, explained to them each the object of the game, and yelled go. Each of them had to blow up the balloon and start bopping (is that a word?) it into the air. The object was for them to get completely into the costume and back out of the costume while keeping the balloon in the air. The result is three people running and hopping all over the room, trying to get dressed while chasing a balloon. Great fun- give it a try!

| Top 20 Uses of an AOL Disk |
March 21, 2000
I don’t know how I got on their mailing list, but it seems like every two hours I get another AOL “Get 50 Free Hours” disk. I know I’m not alone. My friend is an AOL customer and HE get them all the time (talk about a database glitch!) I tried everything I could to stop these diskettes and CDs from coming . . . but when the bear trap by the mailbox didn’t fool the mailman anymore, I decided, “why fight it? I had better think of something to do with the stinkin’ things!”
