> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Clever Hans \* > \*\ ***Skijumper** …a signed poster of the staff of reading rainbow. \*\* Hey, I’ll second that. LaVar Burton is such a neat guy! Also, I’d like a lava lamp, an electric-purple laser pointer, one of those toys where you build ramps and chutes and ferris wheels then you drop marbles into the top and watch them go down. And, though some people would say he was useless, I want John Denver to be alive again. ---
