The most fun my brother and I had was after our little brother learned to solve the cube. We mixed up the color stickers on his cube and it drove him crazy trying to figure out why it wouldn't match up anymore.

I've been wanting to get one of those cubes lately. There are certain tricks you can do that will have it solved for you in a matter of minutes. I read a few of them online and it looks fairly easy. It would be a cool feat to perform for my ankle biters.

...who would immediately look online for the solution. My stepson did that; it never even occurred to me (being a kid when these first came out) to look online, and I'm in IT!!

Actually, I hear you get instructions with the current version. What the hell is the point? Kids are so spoiled these days.

Once they get that, see if you can dig up a Rubik's Revenge on EBay:

or better yet the Professor's Cube:

...send 'em running back to the PS3 in about 30 seconds

EDIT: Then I found this bad-boy at ThinkGeek:

This one is also available online as a computer sim so you don't have to actually buy one, but what fun would that be?

He provided us with many hours of rolling on the floor laughing as he repeatedly tried to show us how it was done.

We NEVER told him what we did.

Yeah, a neat lady.

back on Night Flight ( before Rhonda Shear's Up All Night, there was Night Flight). They did a show on her and her music. It was on USA Network, in the late 1980s. 4 hours, then repeat the same show. Usually cut off by Saturday morning shows. Saturday night was a different show. I miss it.
