poliphilo I scroll through eBay and similar sites and there are the (now vintage) toy soldiers I used to play with as a child- all costing rather more than they did in the 1950s. I am tempted to make purchases, but then I think "You don't get your childhood back that easily- and why would you want it anyway?"
At the Clerks last night we played a game where you answer four questions and then work out what the answers have in common. For instance if the initial answers are Jerry Seinfeld, High and Mighty, Mickey Rourke and Mini then the linking idea and final answer is Mice. Lateral thinking is involved and you either get it or you don't. And so the right brainers were separated from the left brainers and the latter were cast out into.... No, they weren't, but isn't it curious how what is child's play to one person can be utterly baffling to the person sitting next to them....
