RE: old school

[Melissa Nelson <melmis36 -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Wow Pop tops...there is flashback! I spent one summer collecting enough pop tops to make a chain that went all the way around the ceiling in my bedroom. I was so proud of that silly chain! Anyone ever get their foot cut on one of those...that was the big "urban myth" in my not so urban neighborhood...that they could cut your feet and you would die of some horrible soda pop/aluminum induced blood disease, that would kill you in mere days! :) How brave I was to make a big chain out of those dangerous things!
