bironicAlan and Denny mambo-ing in Denny's office for several minutes. Is all I have to say about "Boston Legal" tonight.
18. Elementary School
For a few years as a kid I watched and re-watched the Superman movies, especially the second one, which starts with Clark and Lois at Niagara Falls, and Superman has to rush to rescue a boy who plummets toward the water after playing on the wrong side of a railing. I decided, for whatever reason, to try the boy's game once at school. It hadn't looked very difficult and I thought his mistake was only a plot device. Like he'd done, I stood on the bottom of the cubby shelf and took turns gripping the bar on top, left hand, right hand, left again, with a brief space in between where neither hand touched the bar and I fell slightly backwards before catching hold of it again. Easy. Until I missed, once, and stumbled backwards into a desk. Into the falls. The teacher wanted to know what I was doing.
