What is a childhood memory that still haunts you?
At Ocean Knoll Elementary School in 198X, playing Legos on your lunchbreak was what you did. And there was one lego, the little standard height, double dot piece, that had a little Saturn picture on it. If you found that piece and put it on your ship...man. Lemme tell you. You were the shiznit. Every day at lunch I always tried to find that piece and I never seemed to be able to get it.
So on the night of our teacher-parent meeting, my parents went to go talk to Mr. Brown, and I went to go play with the Legos. I was quite alone. I found that piece, and took it.
I swear you could probably find it in my Legos today, if you looked.
I'm a thief! Oh my godddddd....it's the only thing ever I stole...until I was 22.

Oh, I seem to have misread the question.
What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?
I try to confine my environmentalist urges to actions that will actually benefit the earth. *cough* global warming hoax *cough*
Action: I try to use dish towels instead of paper towels.
Effect: Reduction of consumption of trees. Good.
Action: I avoid styrofoam cups at work and use a travel mug instead.
Effect: These don't disappear from landfills, they are forever.
Action: Throw water balloons at hippies.
Effect: Reduces patchouli and unshowered odors which poison the breathing air.

What is the worst city you've ever been to and why?
Submitted by Soup.
Coos Bay, Oregon. It wasn't the worst because it was horrible, it was the worst because of the situation.
When the wifey and I drove up from CA to WA, we planned on staying in Coos Bay overnight. I saw it on the map when planning and in the OR book I got from AAA it made it seem like a resort town. What I had in mind was kind of like Seaport Village in San Diego. When we got there, it was very different. Kind of a port town, little bit run down. No decent looking places to stay. And we had just driven from SF all day.
So we hopped in the car and kept driving. Made it to Florence, OR where we found a Holiday Inn Express and one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to.
