recipes 75, 76, and 77: a few more old school totally tubular summer recipes

The first recipe is from the wife of a distant cousin. Her name is Helen and when I was little, she had the best backyard Slip-n-Slide http://www.retroland.com/slip-n-slide/#.UFUgkq5GiSo ever. It is super eighties and super retro (the recipe and the Slip-n-Slide)! Totally tubular! The second recipe is timeless, classic macaroni salad. It is a mash-up of various recipes. I would have no clue which ones. Therefore, it is my own. The third recipe is that ramen coleslaw thing that was all the rage in the late 90s. It comes from the mom of these two boys I used to babysit for in guess when? The late 90s. These three recipes are oldies but goodies!

CLASSIC, TIMELESS MACARONI SALAD (note: this makes a TON... I learned the hard way that it would have perhaps been a better idea to cut this recipe in half, so I advise that you do just that)
Ingredients:
-1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked, drained, and cooled
-3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
-2 celery stalks, diced
-1 T pickle relish
-1 c mayo (more or less; basically just enough to thoroughly coat)
-salt and pepper to taste
-1/4 c diced green pepper
-1/4 c diced red pepper
-2 T diced green onions
-1 T mustard

Instructions:
1) hard-boil the eggs as follows: in a large pot, cover the eggs with one inch of water, bring to a boil, cover the pot, remove from heat, let the eggs sit in the water for about 8 minutes, and then shock them in cold water (peel and dice when cooled)
2) mix the remainder of the ingredients until well-combined, and refrigerate until cold
