Technically Behaving

Ok folks, last week I promised a Halloween story.  Here goes.  It’s not so much about Halloween, as it is about Halloween candy and an alternative use for it .  Back when I was in the seventh grade, someone in my school decided that it would be cool to start snorting Pixie Styx, Sweet Tarts and Smarties.  I wish I was joking.  We would sit and crush the Smarties and Sweet Tarts and coke them into lines, Pixie Styx obviously were easier to use for this purpose.  We would snort them in class, on lunch, in the bathroom, and at parties.  I wish I couldn’t tell you that Smarties are the easiest to snort.  Sweet Tarts give you a mild unpleasant feeling, and that Pixie Styx hurt like a son of a bitch.  We would brag about how many lines we could do.  I even remember worrying because I snorted a bunch of Smarties the night before a doctors appointment.  I remember thinking is he going to know what I did?  If you could see anything he was probably wondering why in the hell this kid had multicolored boogers.  Purple boogers don’t exist in nature.  Thank god Mr. Grabow finally talked to each of his seventh grade science classes and put an end to it.  I’m pretty sure this explains a lot about me.  On that note Happy Halloween and guard your Smarties next time you invite me over.

Oh yeah!  My final car payment has cleared the bank today!!  My P.O.S Saturn is all mine!  OH SNAP!  Next up credit cards.  I already feel more financially responsible!

Ok, so I’ve been kind of lazy lately on posting. I haven’t really had all that much to say. I would like to say that two of the kids involved in the teeshirt crap at the high school got expelled. All I have to say about that is I hope it was worth it and I hope you are now filling your days with being the ICP’s fan club presidents. Do they still have fan clubs? I have no idea. Other than that I’ve just been in kind of a funk. Work has been not so fun the past few days and my family has been not so fun too. I have three sisters, I shouldn’t kid anyone that family is fun ever. When you have a lot of sisters there is always constant bickering. When your the only one who isn’t a diva, you hear almost all of the bickering. Sorry for being such a drag today. I promise I have a good Halloween post in the works. Till then, peace out!

My old chiropractor’s office had a fresh air pledge.  I’m pretty sure Dr. John has one at his new office too.  It was a sign asking patients to refrain from wearing perfume or cologne on days when you went to the clinic because most of the staff was sensitive to the smells that build up all day.  I used to think this was a load of bullshit.  There’s no way peoples perfume and cologne can get that offensive though out the course of the day.  I really understand why they have this policy now.  Over the last week I have had a build up of smells.  Three days in a row I had a headache from those smells.  Rule to live by less is more.

Due to recent events at Edgerton High School this post is a letter to everyone involved.

Dear EHS

This crap over the Insane Clown Posse tee shirts is going way to far! It’s a tee shirt people! Here are my suggestions to everyone involved so that we can all move on from this ordeal.

To the teacher who was offended by the shirts and started this whole thing. You were offended by ICP’s message in their song lyrics and didn’t want to work in a hateful environment, how’s that working out for you??? If you would have kept your pie hole shut this whole thing wouldn’t be going on. Kids have been wearing/listing to offensive bands for years. When I was in school a kid used to wear a Helter Skelter shirt to school on a weekly basis. Teachers might have been offended, but they kept it to them self because the picked their battles! If you didn’t want to work in a hostile environment why did you become a high school teacher in the first place?

To the Edgerton School Board, if you really wanted to solve the problem why didn’t you ban all tee shirts with bands/artists on them. Those Clay Aiken tee shirts cause problems too you know. Better yet, switch to uniforms then you cut out individuality all together!

Last to the students, I’m sorry that your ICP tee shirts got baned. The peaceful protest was cool. Kids sticking up for what they believe in. When you started making death threats towards the superintendent of the school district that was a bit much. Quit throwing rocks at his car, the poor guy is going to have a heart attack always thinking he’s being shot at. Norm’s really a nice guy. He’s just doing his job. When you started threaten a school shooting at the homecoming pep rally that was scheduled for today you went way to far. They canceled the pep rally because of you. Someday you are going to get a job. At this job there are going to be dress codes. I don’t like it anymore than you do. I wish I could wear my jammie type pants to work on Saturday’s but I can’t. I just deal with it, you should too. School boards have had dress codes for years. In my dad’s day it was boys had to wear a belt to school and girls could not wear pants. In my day they baned Coed Naked shirts and anything with an alcohol logo on it. I almost got sent to the principals office for wearing a Budweiser shirt. All these years later, I’m more ashamed I wore a Budweiser shirt. Someday you are going to look back on this and think, man that was lame! I really hope you can quit it with the death threats and the shooting rumors. You need to learn when to admit defeat. You have lost you battle. Put your time in and get out, because in college no one cares what you wear!

Thank you for you time.

OMG! My toilet in my apartment is broken! It broke last night. Not on a good night either, not that there’s ever a good time for the toilet to take a crap(hee hee crap, get it). Saturday night Bridgette and I went on a Bachelorette party. So our toilet died on a day when we both had big, fat, juicy hangovers. At least it died after Bridgette was done puking for the day. Thank god I don’t own the shithole and John has to pay for the repairs. His handyman is coming over around 4. Until then we have to flush it manually. This sucks big time!
