Snow Day with Archie!
December 9th, 2005
So I’ve been working on a tough Top 5 list for the past couple days, but need a few more to get it done, so it’ll be up next week. In the meantime…
I’m sitting at work, looking at the blizzard out the window, and wondering how on earth I’m going to walk for 5 minutes outside to get to the T. It’s madness out there! I was telling some guys in the office about how slippery it was outside, and remembered an Archie comic that I read about 15 years ago.
It was a really wet & snowy day in Riverdale, and Archie & the gang tracked a bunch of slushy dirt into the school. Mr. Weatherbee flipped out (obviously - good old Weatherbee!), and demanded that all of the students take their shoes off. While they were in class, he had Svenson, the janitor, mop and wax the floors, to bring them back to their pristine glory. But when the students came out of class in their stockinged feet, they slid all over the place! It was crazy! Then Archie had the brilliant idea to put on his golf shoes, with their cleats, to get some traction, which caused everyone to get their cleats (I have no idea why everyone in Riverdale had golf shoes in their school lockers, but whatever). The cleats created a ton of marks on the newly tracked floors, so Weatherbee called it a snow day and sent everyone home. Ah, good times.
Is it weird that I can so clearly remember an Archie comic from 15 years ago, but can’t remember what I had for lunch yesterday?
