Blue Sky, I'm not even sure what Skittles are/is! I think a game of some sort, originally? (looking it up I find: Skittles, also known as Ninepins, which was the pre-cursor to ten-pin bowling, has been a popular English pub game since the 17th century. The pins are set up in a square pattern and players attempt to knock them down with a ball. It is still played but not so much as previously.) Is this what you're recalling?
There's also a popular candy called Skittles. And further research reveals a vodka of the same name.

Oh but how I wish it were all 'beer and skittles'.....glad my little one is now almost 18...so much more 'me' time.
ReplyDeleteDanielle,

Name your pleasure, Blue Sky!
It's quite a shock when we find that out......or whatever the equivalent of beer and skittles is!

Ruby,
DeleteDefinitely a rude awakening from our lingering adolescent self-absorption!
Love this one, Lynne! Life has far too little beer and skittles as it is, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteSharmon,
DeleteFrom beer and skittles to the school of hard knocks in no time flat! Ah, but that's a maxim best left for another day.
Oh, that is so sweet! Maybe Lance will graduate to champagne and dark chocolate covered almonds...!
ReplyDeleteStickup,
DeleteAnd that's a very sweet thought! Gee, I could go for some of that champers and dark chocolate covered almonds myself!
