Construction Paper (was turkies)

Amy ... "I eagerly await the British translation."

I think, but I do not recall, as it's a good 10 years since I last 
had a decent excuse to use the stuff, that we call it sugar paper, 
but don't quote me on that.  Comes in big A1 sizes, right?  Bright 
colours, yet somehow you always seemed to end up with slightly faded 
purple?  Regardless of what colour the thing you were making actually 
was?  And then when you tried to stick it to something, all the blobs 
of white PVA glue came squirting out from underneath, and they you 
*tried* to wipe it off with your fingers, only that turned it into 
some kind of dull grey play-doh like substance which was damn fun to 
play with.  We used to use it to mount our pictures on, although I do 
also recall having an Easter hat in the shape of a chicken at 
playgroup - which was made out of the stuff.  And while we're on the 
subject, do you have those bright plastic unifix cubes for maths in 
the States?  They always smelled funny.

-Who really could go on in this vein for a looooong time.  Belated 
happy Thanksgiving to the Canadian contingent, too.
