How do you find a starving crowd ?

Was there a Millenium Hula Hoop and I missed it?

This past weekend, my 5 year old nephew asked me if I would get him a Hula Hoop for Christmas. Knowing him, that was about the last thing I expected him to ask for. I didn't even know they were manufactured anymore? Seriously wondered if I'd have to go to the ends of the earth to find one. Or, Ebay?

Great suggestion about looking at 17 year old magazines. Do most libraries keep periodicals that long?
