Kids these days…

[tom in nc]

I might change that subject to "Parents These Days". My daughter is a high school math teacher and the other day she caught a 12-year-old vaping. She took it away. The next day the kids mother came into school and demanded the return of the kids vape as it was his Christmas present. She was nasty, rude and a real jerk. I cannot get my head around any parent giving their kid a vape no matter what age. Very sad.

Same kind of Mom that would permit their daughter to get a tramp stamp, or also called tattoos.

Yes, Olympia beer bottle labels had a series of dots printed on the back signifying which shift did the bottling, according to one wild rumor I heard in junior high in the 1960s. If you could convince a girl to sign the label, one dot was permission to go to first base, a two-dot label was second base -- you get the picture. Pure unadulterated juvenile fantasy, but it was part of the culture growing up in Seattle/Tacoma.
Ahem! Now how is that slow match coming along?

We had a VERY unpopular new principal. He was hated more by the staff than the students. This was when Miami Vice was big, so he dressed in loud pastel colors. We called him” Miami Wayne”. He drove an old Volkswagen Beetle, the cab heater was hot air from the manifold blown in on you. A TEACHER smeared Limburger cheese all over it. He was driving in -2 degree weather with the windows down!!

4 dots was a "home run".... you were allowed to go to ALL the bases...

Been years since I heard the dot story. Word I have is the dots had to do with the production line at the brewery(?). Great fun in any case.

She thinks I’m funny, which is what really matters… and that I keep my muzzleloaders and associated books to one room!

The Memsahib too thinks I am funny. Possibly in a different way……….
