i remember lots more of these!

great trip down memory lane. :)
Yeah, I'm starting to feel my age but I refuse to act it!
When I was in school, the teachers always told us that we're supposed to "act your age".
They'd say I didn't 'act my age'.
Well, I'm gonna keep that tradition going!
Klick klacks were harder on your forearms than your face. I had bruises all the time.
This was back in the day where people accepted responsibility for injuring themselves instead of suing the manufacturer.
