I used to have a little red wagon. As a kid we’d have fruit wars and my wagon was the ammo battery.

about my sophomore year in HS, the beatles had been out there awhile, and so that was the hairdo then. That look was achieved w/no cream/wax, but with or without hairspray. I tried the spray for awhile, no need for me. I guess about my junior year after i let my hair grow out i started hearing that girls thot i was cute. WTF! not ME! heehee, it was great to hear, but led to no avail. :frowning:
