I never had a subscription to Highlights, but I did get to read it at the dentist’s office, making it the only good part of visiting the dentist. Anyway, Highlights was super popular and featured great stories (and mediocre jokes) every month.

Anybody remember Goofus and Gallant?

Who didn’t love these? The best part was figuring out how to make them dance and completely collapse. These seem to be pretty hard to find. I found some at a drug store recently but they aren’t very responsive and don’t dance or collapse.

Boy Meets World’s seven-season run was classic from beginning to end. Cory Matthews represented the awkward adolescent in all of us, and Mr. Feeney represented the weird teacher that stalked us from middle school through college.

Apparently, after checking the Wikipedia article, we discovered that there are a lot of different ways to play Wall Ball. Some people have no bounce rules and some have rules that you must bounce before it hits the wall. Reading comments on the above YouTube reveal that it seems to change from school to school and there’s a lot of contention over who’s game is the purest. We don’t care if you played a classic set of rules or you had a crazy home-court set, we want you to post them below so we can try them out. Our spankin’ new red rubber ball just came in the mail and want to try them all out.
