Mikey Likes It There are rumors that mixing Pop Rocks with carbonated drinks would cause your stomach to explode. Further, according to playground lore, an overly-cute kid who achieved fame in LIFE cereal commercials had died of this. Why Little Mikey, of all people? Urban legends require victims who are known yet anonymous -- the ubiquitous friends of a friend -- to lend them a touch of credible realism without allowing for the easy verification of their details. Little Mikey was a kid known to all other children by virtue of his famous television commercial, yet he was still relatively anonymous -- few people (adults included) knew his real name, and his non-appearance in any public role subsequent to his well known LIFE commercial could therefore plausibly be attributed to his untimely demise. (Contrary to the rumor, John Gilchrist, the lad who played Mikey, not only survived his childhood unexploded, but is now an advertising-account manager for a New York radio station. And no, that's not him in the new LIFE commercial; that's Jimmy Starace.) The company stopped marketing Pop Rocks around 1983, and this is often pointed to as "proof" that the candy was so harmful it had to be pulled from the shelves.

I am off for the day, and it looks like I can enjoy a three day break. My guys and I need it.
To: tongue-tied
You have a shower? In your room?! Hey, I paid my dues. ;-)
I did the tent thing with the nice walk to and from the shower trailers for a while in my early days. Oh, yes, that was fun. I imagine you've been there and done that as well.
Thank you very much for your service. (Go Navy!!) BTW, I did my early days at Camp Victory. I was at Camp Liberty when there wasn't even a chow hall there, let alone that WalMart-style PX. I barely recognize the place when I come through there now.
