SWIMSUIT ISSUE TIME....
It's not the Sports Illustrated issue but the National Geographic Swimsuit issue. An
historical tour of the swimsuit over the last 100 years.The photos in the magazine brought out "a sense of fun and wonder - as well as total astonishment at what some people will wear in public," said Bill Allen, National Geographic's editor-in-chief. Look for it on news stands February 1st.

FROM THE "LIGHTEN UP ALREADY" FILE
Park service employees are upset with a new Metamucil ad that shows a Ranger going up to Old Faithful to pour some Metamucil into the Geyser to keep it regular. are upset that people will think that it's OK to put something into the thermal feature (as they describe it)

ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
Friday January 24th is when some of rock's biggest titles were inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. 8 albums and 13 singles were inducted...Bruce Springsteen "Born to Run" , Led Zeppelin's hit "Stairway to Heaven," Elton John double-set "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road," Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors," the Eagles' "Hotel California," Paul Simon "Still Crazy After All These Years" Steely Dan's "Aja." Carole King (news)'s "It's Too Late," Eric Clapton "I Shot the Sheriff" and Ike & Tina Turner's "Proud Mary." Peter, Paul & Mary's "Blowin' in the Wind," Petula Clark "Downtown," Judy Collins' generational touchstone "Both Sides Now" and "Up-UP And Away" by the 5th Dimension. 

NEW HOOTIE AND THE BLOWFISH ALBUM COMING
It's been 4 1/2 years since they release "Musical Chairs" in 1998. Look for the latest self titled  Hootie release to hit with the single "Innocence" February 10th.

ELTON AND JOEL BACK TO USA
Billy Joel and Elton John will tour together again in 2003 and already have booked 21 venues across the USA. In 2002 the tandem were the 3rd top grossing act ($66 million) behind McCartney and Cher. Pretty good for a couple of guys who said they were quitting the music biz.

SUZANNE SOMERS GETS HER STAR
The former Three's Company cast member, buns of steel author got her star on the wlk of fame. "And the nuns in Catholic school said I'd never get to heaven," she joked during the ceremony. "This is heaven and I'm just floating in it."

SHE'S SUING AFTER GETTING GOOSED
Darlene Griffen is suing Palm Beach County saying they should control their geese in the public park. Ms. Grrifin and her son were attacked by a 3 foot tall goose. Her claim says that the county should have remov3ed the geese in the park. She fell and busted her tailbone during the incident a year ago.

DEAR CRIMINAL; PLEASE CEASE AND DESIST
A British police force has written a polite letter to habitual offenders asking them to clean up their act. The personalized letters from the chief state in part:
"I'm sure it will come as no surprise to you that, due to your criminal activity, your name appears on the above data and has highlighted you as a persistent offender," said the letters. The letter helpfully suggests that the offender "make it a priority in any New Year's resolutions you make from 2003 onwards, to cease forthwith your criminal activities."

*******************
DO YOU REMEMBER?

All the girls had ugly gym
uniforms?

It took five minutes for the TV warm
up?


Nearly everyone's Mom was at home
when the kids got home from
school?

Nobody owned a purebred dog?

When a quarter was a decent
allowance?

You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a
penny?

Your Mom wore nylons that came in two
pieces?

All your male teachers wore neckties and female
teachers had their hair done every day and wore high heels?

You got your windshield cleaned,
oil checked, and gas pumped,
without asking, all for free, every time?
And you didn't pay for air? 
And, you got trading stamps to boot?

Laundry detergent had free glasses,
dishes or towels hidden inside the box?

It was considered a great privilege to be taken
out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents?

They threatened to keep kids back a grade if
they failed . . .and they did?


When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...
to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races,
and people went steady?

No one ever asked where the car keys were
because they were always in the car,
in the ignition, and the doors were never
locked?


Lying on your back in the grass with your friends
and saying things like, "That cloud looks like a ..."

and playing baseball
with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game?


Stuff from the store came without safety caps and
hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect
stranger?

And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once,

you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace,
and share it with the children of today?

When being sent to the
principal's office was nothing
compared to the fate that awaited the student at home?
Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs,
etc.

Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! 

But we survived because their love was greater than the
threat.

Send this on to someone who can still remember
Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys,
Laurel and Hardy, Howdy Dowdy
and the Peanut Gallery,
the Lone  Ranger, The Shadow Knows,
Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale,
Trigger and Buttermilk.

As well as summers filled with bike rides, baseball games,

Hula Hoops, bowling and visits to the pool,
and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar.
Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say,
"Yeah, I remember that"?

I am sharing this with you today 
because it ended with a double dog dare to pass it on.
To remember what a double dog dare is, read on.
And remember that the perfect age is somewhere between
old enough to know better and too young to care.


How many of these do you remember?

Candy cigarettes

Wax
Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside

Soda pop
machines that dispensed glass bottles

Coffee shops with
tableside jukeboxes

Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing
gum

Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard
stoppers

Newsreels before the movie

P.F. Fliers

Telephone numbers with a word prefix....(Raymond
4-601).

Party lines

Peashooters

Howdy Dowdy

45 RPM records

Green Stamps

Hi-Fi's

Metal ice cubes trays with levers

Mimeograph paper

Beanie and Cecil

Roller-skate keys

Cork pop guns

Drive ins 

Studebakers

Washtub wringers

The Fuller Brush Man

Reel-To-Reel tape recorders

Tinkertoys

Erector Sets

The Fort Apache Play Set

Lincoln Logs

15 cent McDonald hamburgers

5 cent packs of baseball cards -
with that awful pink slab of bubble gum

Penny candy

35 cent a gallon gasoline

Jiffy Pop popcorn

Do you
remember a time when...

Decisions were made
by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"?

Mistakes were corrected by simply
exclaiming, "Do Over!"?

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran
the fastest?

Catching the fireflies could happily occupy an entire
evening?

It wasn't odd to have two or three "Best Friends"?

The worst thing you
could catch from the opposite sex was "cooties"?

Having a weapon in
school meant being caught with a slingshot?

A foot of snow was a
dream come true?

Saturday morning cartoons
weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?

"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense?

Spinning
around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?

The worst embarrassment was
being picked last for a team?

War was a card game?

Baseball
cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?

Taking drugs
meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin?

Water balloons were the
ultimate weapon?

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have
lived!!!!!!!

Pass this on to anyone
who may need a break from their "grown-up" life . . .

I double-dog-dare-ya!

I remember it well and wish that I could go back!!!!
