  1. The sticking point is whether the school district would do anything. My wife taught 3rd grade for years. One year, she had a student that would get up in the middle of class and start throwing everyone's papers off their desk on the floor. He would walk across tables, slam lockers and get in other students faces yelling at them. She was not allowed to stop him because the principle was terrified that the parent was going to file a complaint with the district and cause mass headaches. All she could do was sit at her desk and say please stop. If he didn't, she had to call the office while the kid continued to act this way, until a counselor appeared to take him away. Then they would go to the office, give him candy and try to tell him why he was acting improperly. It went on for almost 5 months of the school year before they finally removed him from her class. I went to elementary school in the 60's. Sister Mary Gotti would have slapped him into next year and then thrown him out of school. I'm sure there's a happy medium but I know that a lot of schools will never completely discipline a problem student.
  2. I didn't start drinking or smoking until I was a junior in HS but when I did I made up for lost opportunities. Senior year I was unofficially voted Most Likely to be an Alcoholic. We drank/smoked at every dance, sporting events and even during school. Every Friday we would skip and go drink beer in the park down the street. We volunteered to work in a Headstart program and we would cut out early to go shoot pool and drink. We told our teachers we had been drinking at school and during events and not one of them ever turned us in. This is how wild the 70's were: At the last dance of my senior year a friend of mine and I sat in the school parking lot drinking Wild Turkey and beer. It was pouring rain and we didn't hear/see the Fort Worth cop/hired security come up to the car. He knocked on the window and we rolled it down enough to talk to him. He told us we couldn't sit in the car in the parking lot to go inside. He had to see us drinking. We went inside but kept sneaking out to drink more. On our last trip out I saw that my buddy had one of those Radio Shack hardhats with a spinning red light on top. So I put it one and we found the two cops standing in another lot. I turned the light on and we ran circles around them making siren noises. When we stopped we said " What are you boys doing in the parking lot? We think you been drinkin' and we're going to need to see some id's." It's at this point you would expect we should be handcuffed. Instead one of the cops said "Uh, I must have left me id at home, you're not going to arrest us are you?" We all started laughing and we went back inside. I still don't know how I made it through life without going to jail. And the buddy is a UT alum and though I haven't seen him in 30 years, I wouldn't be surprised that he reads this on Surly.

    Gym Pet Peeves

    Just to clear things up........yes user name noted, and I'm old so Planet Fitness. After working out today I went to take a shower and noticed an awful smell coming from the shower. Before I stepped in, I took a close and saw brown flecks all over the place. Someone had waffle stomped in it. I told closest employee I could find and he put an out of order sign on it until he could clean it up. I mentioned it at the front desk as I was leaving and the woman said that someone had did the same thing on the women's side last week. WTH is wrong with people. You can do the Waffle Stomp Quickstep all you want at home but don't do it at the health club.
  4. Lol. "I can hit her at this point, right?"
  5. It's probably a carryover from when people didn't have cell phones or email addresses. You had to drop them off or mail them in. The only way of communicating back with an applicant was by mail or phone. I'd bet everyone uses a resume template and the address is another box to fill in.
  6. Reminds me of these guys

    Vinyl

    I was fortunate enough to save all my old vinyl from the 70's up. I saved all my stereo stuff but gave it to my son when he moved out. Since then I've been picking up vintage equipment when I see it. I bought this Kenwood unit at a antique store last week fir $120. It was $975 when it was made in 1972-73. And everything works perfect. The volume control pot is broken but it still works. I've got it hooked up to some 80's Bose 501 speakers. One day I'll figure out how to hook the quad stuff up. 🤔
  8. Clyde High Schools song used to be Wild Irish Rose. Don't know what the words were, but that was the melody.
  9. Nope. But a lot of guys keep the weight manageable until their mid 30's. I just laugh at older guys (I am one and know better) who think they're badass until reality punches them in the face. And I know there are older guys you don't want to screw with but they are far outnumbered by guys like the guy in the video.
  10. Guy probably weighed 165 lbs all his life, puts on 60 lbs and thinks he's a 225 lbs badass instead of a 60 lbs overweight dumbass.
  11. Yeah a guy I went to HS with started embracing/discovered these during the covid plandemic (his words, no cr). He lives near a naval air station and would sit in his front yard taking pics and posting them to FB to rant. Since it was a government installation, it confirmed everything he read about them.
  12. I read it more as "enfarcer".
  13. Did they have to take 1/2 his head off after being shot or did someone do the old Tony Spilotro on him?
  14. Not my wife but when I was a teenager I came home drunk and drove through the garage door. My dad was not amused while I drunkenly explained why the garage door was in sections on the hood of my car. And I have no idea what I told him.
  15. I read another story that there was one of the other officers wife involved too.

    Getting old sucks

    I play pipes at a lot of funerals. It's a little upsetting that I'm beginning to go to a lot of them that are for people my age and younger.
  17. I know where one of these (sans motor) is rotting away in a funeral home warehouse. Guy told me "I'm going to fix it up, not gonnna sell it". That was 12 years ago.
  18. SEC! SEC! SEC! I just means more.....something. 4 of the top 11
  19. I've known two people who got new engines because the oil change place either forgot to put oil in them or they didn't tighten the filter and the oil leaked out while they drove away.
  20. He spits a lot too. I hold that against him.
  21. Awfuk is a good description of this game.
  22. The "We didn't want to be here", "Kiffen doesn't care" and "Congratulations, it's only the Texas bowl" talk on the SEC message boards is hilarious. They can't handle being rolled by Tech.
  23. That chair catching woman knows how to throw a punch.
  24. I'm pretty sure it happened against OU too. I remember laughing my ass off at them pummeling him on the ground.
  25. Nah, I'm sure this was against OU. And to be fair it might have been 10+ years ago. It doesn't really matter. Occasionally I hope to find a Youtube clip of it for the laughs.
