Summer Activities Rule

Because it’s summer, we should all be sliding down our Slip ‘N Slide or running through the sprinkler. Because we’re adults, we’re not. Reliving such exhilarating H20 fun through old, perverted commercials and the written word is the next best thing (unless any of you have any ideas).

We take a trip in the Sports Delorean back to June 2008, when uh, we took a trip on the Sports Delorean back to childhood summers.

Running Through the Sprinkler

Somewhere along the way, kids convinced themselves that a hose hooked up to a sprinkler could serve as a de facto pool - not surprising considering we used to play in a wooden box filled with sand.  “Did you see that rolly-pully in the sand box?  That was gnarly!”  Running through the sprinkler was a blast, unless your family had the kind that served a long distance gun to reach all corners of the yard.  You know the one: it seemingly spit out the water and got pissed at you upon returning to its starting point.  However, if you had the more traditional sprinkler that sprayed vertically, you were in for a real treat - and so were your nether regions.
