....it runs in the family.
The following is an excerpt from an email written to me by my younger middle sister after viewing the comments on TOADAL RECALL. Aaron is her fiance'. It is as follows.
Battletoads. hee hee.
r.s. (random script) Aaron loves fly swatters. He gets excited when he sees one. "Aaahh, man. Y'all have a fly swatter." They are nostalgic to him, like a good game of WaHoo. He especially likes to see them hanging, not just placed haphazardly on top of the fridge. Is it strange for the flyswatter to be a nostalgic trigger? Fly swatters are still readily available at your neighborhood grocer or the Dollar store. In fact, if you pay attention, many people probably still have one at home. But I do think they are less common than they were 20 years ago. Maybe because people don't keep their windows and doors open so much? Maybe because technology has advanced more with screens, caulk, insulation, seals? People prefer air conditioning to fresh air? Trash cans seal better so flies don't congregate? I thought of that because I was thinking of frogs eating flies.
