Washed Away

While doing a little cleaning over at Momma & PoppaDisarray's the other day, I stumbled across some misplaced memories. My favorite newspapers commemorating Sharks history showed up - namely the pre- and post- series newspapers from the fabled 93-94 season. I couldn't wait to grab the sections and throw some pictures online for all you Bucketheads.

Also while at the folks, I borrowed some carpet cleaning chemicals. I don't know why my carpets look like the surface of the sun. Maybe I should vacuum more than once a year.

You might guess where this is going. I threw the newspapers in a box and, like a dumbass, the bottle of harsh chemicals right on top.

By the time I bothered to look in the box again, I shrieked like a 5 year old girl:

Photobucket
FUCK. My favorite cover ever...

The lid on the cleaner bottle was loose and slowly dripped chemicals all over my classic newspapers. The colors ran like crazy, but somehow, the papers were salvagable and even somewhat readable after airing them out.

Anyone else accidentally destroy their precious childhood memories? Tell me I'm not the only moron who shouldn't be around hazardous chemicals.
