August 23, 201610 yr The scandalous song of the middle school dance was Nelly "Hot in Herre" Lol, scandalous song in high school in my day was My Sharona.
August 23, 201610 yr The scandalous song of the middle school dance was Nelly "Hot in Herre" I was a senior when The Thong Song came out. At a middle school dance, the DJ played The Offspring's Bad Habit without realizing what it was. Good stuff there.
August 23, 201610 yr Dumbest reasons for getting detention...Go! Mine would be for kicking an empty 20oz pop bottle down a stairwell and not picking it up. The principal watched me do it. That also has the distinction of being my old stint in detention. My parents weren't even mad, they just laughed at me because we all knew it was stupid. Not stupid that I got detention for it, just stupid. Edited August 23, 201610 yr by wsnydes
August 23, 201610 yr We had hamburger gravy on mashed potatoes. Good times. Yah. I love that over rice. Once, when visiting a Kraft plant, eating in their cafeteria, I had the hamburger gravy over rice. The guy sitting next to me said, "I see you're having the Gravy Train". It was never the same after that!
August 23, 201610 yr In grade school, no detention. Just recess revoked. No idle time, we had to do math cards, showing our work. There was a key in the cards the teacher could use to check the cards at a glance. While we never figured it out, a friend of mine did so many, that he kept a list of the answers, as the cards were numbered. We stil had to show the math, but we didn't have to worry about correcting the mistakes!
August 23, 201610 yr Lol, scandalous song in high school in my day was My Sharona.That song is filthy. And terrible.

You could pop the lock on a door in the maintenance building that takes you down there.
August 23, 201610 yr I don't believe I got detention, but a stern talking to for starting a Kitten Cannon/Slime Soccer league during our keyboarding class.
August 23, 201610 yr I spend almost all winter in shorts. In MN. My standard reply to people who question my sanity: "when is the last known instance of hypothermia in the Wal Mart parking lots?" This is me as well. My wife will be in layers around the house and i'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

August 23, 201610 yr For not having a book cover on my geography book in the 8th grade.Haha! You REBEL!!! Edited August 23, 201610 yr by wsnydes
August 23, 201610 yr The scandalous song of the middle school dance was Nelly "Hot in Herre"Pretty much anything by Prince.
August 23, 201610 yr Haha! You REBEL!!!I got in minor trouble doing other things. Ask my hs chemistry teacher about that. But I never got detention for anything because I was usually the best student and he knew my parents.
August 23, 201610 yr Dumbest reasons for getting detention...Go!Lots of swearing and instigating for me.
August 23, 201610 yr Simultaneously dropping your textbooks on the floor is a good way to get detention. Throwing typewriters from second story classrooms. My personal fave was everyone trying to crush through the door at the same time as soon as the teacher opened it. Good times.

August 23, 201610 yr Great intro RB. I brought my oldest off to college last week...big step. Cross the fingers. In South Dakota they have a place called the School of Mines. Not sure how it got that name, but I'm thinking that if they wander off the beaten path, they get blown up. Didn't want to deal with all the aftermath of that so I convinced him to pick another college.

August 23, 201610 yr Your oldest is going to be an Engineer, eh? He's thinking along the lines of internet security actually.
August 23, 201610 yr He's thinking along the lines of internet security actually.Interesting that he'd go to an engineering school for that. But hey, you like what you like. If he liked the campus and the program, why not? That's what is important. My aunt has a civil engineering degree from there.
August 23, 201610 yr My aunt has a civil engineering degree from there. YOUR AUNT CAN DO MIND CONTROL??!!!!?!!!
August 23, 201610 yr He's thinking along the lines of internet security actually.Interesting. That school has a big reputation of being a top notch Engineering school. That's the only reason I know that school exists.

August 23, 201610 yr No, he's not going to School of Mines. He picked another school.Oh, I misunderstood your original post, my bad. Wherever he's going, good luck to the both of you.
August 23, 201610 yr Detention; not so much. I do remember the nuns in elementary school having me wash my mouth out with soap after calling one of them a 'ratfink.' Also, Engineering doesn't suck, as career paths go.
August 23, 201610 yr For not having a book cover on my geography book in the 8th grade. It had to be a parochial school? Lol. Sometimes we got it on the navicular bone with a wooden ruler.

Claimed he couldn't hear a thing the teachers said!
