I was surprised to see that Shaquille O'Neal is still playing basketball. By now he must be an old man (by pro sports standards, at least). He was playing when I was in sixth grade. I remember that specifically. In Spelling class that year, I remember this kid named Luke (fill in the last name, Mom) leaning over to show me a picture he'd drawn of a garden shed slam-dunking.
"It's a Shack Attack," he whispered with a conspiratorial snort. "Get it?"
I did not. And it was years before I did.
