ahem, no no, you go right ahead. I guess I did silly things in college too.
OUR fun games in college included the Wal-Mart game, where you go to a 24-hour Wal-Mart at midnight. There are at least two teams. You go around the store and fill up carts with stuff, then switch carts. First team to put everything back in the proper place wins.

A) Our 24 hour Wal-Mart closes at midnight on Saturdays, which would be pretty much the only time we'd be able to get enough people to be able to do something like that.
B) We've almost been kicked out of Wal-Mart before as it is...apparently they don't like you riding the bikes around the store. (No, I didn't do that, one of my friends did)
C) I didn't say we played FREQUENTLY, but when you need warm up games for theatre and stuff, you do some crazy things. And it's somewhat less weird than the time we were playing with my cow flashlight and "exploring the Amazon Rainforest" in the hallway of our dorm...

VERY true!

We used to play the dollar game in college. We'd head to the mall and each team had one dollar to spend. You had to try to buy as many things as you could and stay under a dollar. You had to provide receipts... free stuff didn't count.

I don't think you'd be able to get much nowadays...

You couldn't get much thenadays, either.

[MissScripture]

I suppose there's always the dollar section at Target...that would about cover anything you'd get in the Mall by my school...then again, it's not the worlds best mall, either.

We would go to montana every year,that is where my parents were from. My mother was raised on flathead lake, and we'd pull in always about midnight. From washington to montana ,long drive, 10 kids! I loved the wide open space and smell of the fresh air off the lake in the morning. I was very little then and I remember picking currants! I also lost my shoe in a big huge wet cow-pie! Nasty! I got a bath in a tub outside and my grandma also had an outhouse, I hated using because my brother said snakes lived in there. I went back there a couple years ago and I still love that place. I still could not find my shoe................The best thing about flathead lake montana is the memories! I don't know if flathead lake has a 24hr Wal-mart though!

I love Merseyside...You've got Neston home of the Sacred Head devotion, Liverpool FC (the greatest team in the UK), and walks in the Wirral...

Virginia has the Blue Ridge Parkway, lovely mountains tinted in shades of blue. Fresh clean air. Sadly, there are no bakeries here, how can a place have no bakeries????

Fredericksburg is absolutely great. You get a mix of the city life in shopping, culture, and night life. Also nearly everywhere you go has some historical significance. Whether it be the founding fathers or the civil war (especially the war since Fredericksburg is directly between DC and Richmond, hour each way). And most important you have plenty of beautiful country. It is a great place to live!

Oh definitely the food. I grew up in an area of my state that was mainly settled by Italian immigrants, and we have a great deal of good Italian restaurants in the town. The best time of year is the Italian Heritage Festival when they set up booths from most of them with discounted rates due to the tourists.
