Clammer is a gifted linguist of the highest order.

I understood the whole post, too.

[saltfly]

Agreed it's total overkill.THE SKY IS FALLING,THE SKY IS FALLING,THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!! Although, the folks that got whacked last week could use a break.

[nightfighter]

Same up here with early dismissal....bunch of wusses.

It's Obama's fault

[Raven]

of course my legs were alot shorter then

but i always remembered looking down at the floor
and there'd be puddles of ice water that melted off my "chino's"
(those were pants back then for you young-ins)

and my knees were always half dry and half wet
...and by the time school was out... you were finally dry.

thats funny Raven...it reminded me of when I had a Boston Globe paper route...lugging papers in the morning before school in the 5TH grade, I'd get to school with clothes frozen hard...... also loading up my sled for the Sunday route.......are there even paper boys anymore???

I don't think so...and yeah Bulls eye!! Slingah
the pant legs were like starched stiff because they were frozen. there were no side walk plows then...you had to walk in the street and jump into the deep snow on the sidewalks to keep from being hit by a car...

one day i got hit though... son of a bitch knew it because i jumped straight up and bounced off his wind sheild then rolled over the roof hit the trunk and then hit the ground....while i watched him not even slow down....

Chinos!? We wish we coulda had chinos, all we had were dungarees....

Ya Clammer, i know your too young to remember, but we had a blizard in 1948 where they had to plow the streets with bulldozers.

Every snow storm they would block off several streets for sleigh riding, no salt then.

The cars had high clearance then and one afternoon, Alan Fraizer was sledding down Woodland ave and as he crossed Elm as a car was driving past, he went right under it and outside the other side unscathed. No lie. : doh:

Kids would be on the hills by 9 AM and except for lunch and supper would sled till 10PM.

Remember ditch the guy, train, and double belly whopping?

Horse and buggy=Less accidents...Gramps...

[Redsoxticket]

I remember the days when the snow covered roads made it easy to hitch a ride holding onto the rear chrome bumbers of passing cars. If you were lucky to hitch onto a VW bug there was an opening in the middle of bumper to sit down

[Raven]

some car had a similar bumper that was made out of a tube,,, wasn't a vw ...more like a Studebaker or one of those older models....

so, i run up and grab hold.... and was having a great ride until i stood up a little and the driver saw me....

so he decides to loose his passenger and speeds up
so fast i had to let go...i was at my street anyways...

but the forward motion had me sliding on my chest for a long ways...50 feet easy..until i slid into a 4 inch deep puddle of slush and instantly scooped up 40 lbs of it... into my sweater and down my shirt chilling me like a snow cone.... i couldn't get home quick enough after that...

[Crafty Angler]

If we had a snow day like today when I was a kid we used to go down to Suicide Hill (the big hill south of King Park) and use whatever we could scavenge to make sleds and tobogans out of - the best one we had was a hood from a '53 Chevy we found on an abandoned car on the wharf - we could get 4 or 5 of us on it.

Little tough to steer away from the tall pines, however...

[Clammer]

S $%&*( ya don,t stand a chance if its weight controlled by the BELLY ;;

BTW .. if its where Karl suggested .......... bring your schoolie gear ><><><><><

[Clammer]

I don,t if they are still there ;;
But therewas a R/r tunnel right next to it that went under the entire east side & came out about 3/4 from the Seekonk river >>>>>>>>>>>some stories to tell about that place >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> No lights at all ;;
then on the east side of the hill .. ther was or is a Bus tunnel that came out right in dead center of thayer street .right in the middle of all the Brown & RISD kids .......... more stories .. but @ least involved cars <><>
This F #$%^&*() old s hit is getting old

[redcrbbr]

i could just see it now.

[Backbeach Jake]

We had a big hill across the street from where I grew up. Half the town wouold turn out when it snowed, Had a fire food and drink. (PG, of course, it was a dry county). Sometimes we'd get a car hood from the boneyard and 10 kids would ride at once, just stay out of the way. We'd soup up our flexible flyers with soap or candle wax and have races. sometimes standing up. One guy head butted the rocker of a parked car and his sled squirted out the other side and kept going.

[justplugit]

LOL RC, give the formula to Clamah, he'll need that and alot more.

Only advantage he has is that belly steer sled of his.

[Plum Crazy]

You guys are having a ball reliving the "olden days"
But the reality of it all is that we is grown ups now.
Gotta get to work and snow sucks.

It sucks in my gutters and it sucks in my shoes.
The f'ing plow guy I kill will be on the news.
I have had enough
I can't take no more
If you don't believe me,
Watch channel 4.

I am a sand bunny, not a snow bunny.
