The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

This week's challenge for me has been road safety.

Don't lay in the street. Don't run off with a wagon, not looking where you're going. Don't open the door of the car when you're going down the highway.

When I was little, my mom had a Chevy Astro. One day, when we were at a red light and I was in the front passenger seat, I placed my arm outside the window. My mom right away told me that it is best not to do that because if another car is coming up, the person might cut off my arm. I imagined some driver holding a pocketknife in his left hand and cutting off my arm while coming up. Turns out that what she meant was the car itself.

A guy in school (noty class) did that, he rocked back and forth. One day he tipped back too far and couldn't get ballance. Cracked his skull on the desk behind.

I understand that cured him.

I did that in the cafeteria in middle school.

Some kids laughed at me.

I pretended to be dead, and then I jumped up and laughed maniacally at them.

For whatever reason, that embarrassed them, and their faces turned red.

I went back to enjoying my lunch break.

I like to stick my feet out the window.

I still say they look like some whack prepper lunacy.

Stupid design.
- Tiny capacity
- Ugly as sin.
- Can't "roll coal".
- No decent mirrors for towing.

Yikes! That would be very bad for any of the two academies where I work. At least one of them is not insured for that sort of thing. One Friday night, when the students zipped down the hallway when the bell rung, a girl was knocked over and trampled. When her mom called the office and asked for compensation to pay the medical bill, our manager called the mom of the boy who knocked over the girl and requested the money. His mom refused, so our manager gave the other one compensation out of pocket.

Anyway, I've seen some of my students fall back out of their chairs from leaning them. Fortunately, there have not been any injuries.

Who operates the pedals then?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

It's off to Eden to hear my fate.
At least they can't caste me out. No more than Lilith who was already no stranger to Nod when she was banned from Eden.

Who operates the pedals then?

The cats.

 

[mangalavara]

The cats.

Where is the smiley frube when I need one?

 

[Revoltingest]

Someone's birthday today isn't going so well.

 

[JustGeorge]

Where is the smiley frube when I need one?

I've wished for that one on occasion, too.

 

[sun rise]

The cats.

But only if they feel like at the time.

 

[ChristineM]

But only if they feel like at the time.

How else could it be?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

My job is in purgatory. I forgot this is California and labor laws are more strict here.

What's the issue?

What's the issue?

Medical leave. It was originally scheduled for me to return to work today, but the company who handles the leaves has been antagonist, with nurse saying the extension is unacceptable.
