Where can I get a job that calls for a specialty of useless information?

We never had even 1 Barbie doll. (and I have 4 other younger sisters). Alot of this was related to cost and my parents' friends weren't rolling in much money themselves to feed their own families,, much give gifts like that.
I do recall 1 blonde haired doll with blue eyes, that was shared amongst us all. Curly hair and rough. And the doll, now I remember after all these decades, the doll...wore a blue and white dirndl. LOL. How coincidental, since we were growing up in a German immigrant-based city.
So, most fun was jump the rubber ball, where the girls in our elementary school threw the ball way high against wall of 3 story school, on the side with no windows, and we would try to jump the ball bouncing onto the pavement.
Simple days. And we had hula hoop, jump footsie bell and long marathons of double-dutch skip rope contests. Can't believe I could jump up to 1,000 jumps on double dutch...once upon a time.
I find Trivial Pursuit is a good place to flex this sort of brawn. Can you find a job paying you to do that?:p I also had KiKi, her Hawaiian friend. She was quite exotic and an african american I called Whitney because I liked Whitney Houston in the day.Quote:

Thanks for putting a smile on my face!
Oh, how wonderful -- I was the one who originally mentioned this game. Seeing the commercial brought it all back. The ultimate cheese! I could have been one of those girls in the ad, ringlets and all...Quote:

It was definitely Emily who brought up that cool memory - boy, the things we used to do to gush over cute guys! My friend and I used to collect baseball cards, too. We'd give a lot of the "valuable" ones to our brothers - just so we got to keep the cute ones. ;)
Who would've thought you could find something like that on You Tube? That was great - thanks for sharing!
