You know a teacher is good when your kid comes home and tells you how much they learned that day, without mentioning politics.

Here's the deal. We all are dicks at some point. Lord knows I am. One time my business partner was bitching about his ex-wife and his two estranged kids. We were traveling from Detroit to Ludington. I mean it was about 2 hours how they've wronged him. I finally said "Larry, did you ever think maybe you're just a dick?" He laughed and said, "I've been trying to convince you for the last couple of hours I wasn't". We've all said and say things that just make other people shake their heads. I'm sure I'm doing that right now. I just don't want to get so stubborn in life that I think I just know I"m right about everything and fuck you if you don't believe me. Told my wife when I hit 55 I was going to try to be less stubborn not more stubborn. It's hard not to be a dick. You have to guard against it pretty much every day. Hell, I think I'm being a dick right now. I'll read this later to see what I think after a cup of coffee.

100% spot on Dwags. I'm a Dutch stubborn dick. Which I work on (and fail) every day.

Pantry is being a special kinda douche here though.

Douche? Maybe. Pretty certain anyone posting on this board with teaching credentials and/or a teaching spouse would take offense at my thoughts.

Why Are Teachers Mostly Liberal?

I'm happy to discuss everything everywhere, it's been tSwill's conservative contingent that has historically pitched the biggest fit about politics on the main board. I didn't consider the teacher stuff overtly political until your last post. If you want to get political, I'm probably gonna wanna give you both barrels, and I know you'll bitch about that, so I was trying to be proactive.

Well, it’s not going to hop in my mouth on its own, now is it? And putting it with other foods dulls the flavor and slows down eating it.

Today I noticed there was a bunch of banana candy in a basket at work and was like “I don’t think I like banana candy but it’s been a long time since I tried it.”

I still don’t like banana candy.

I had no idea until just now that the "Liked an image" is an iPhone to Android conversion issue. I assumed it was just a new thing to type out "Like (followed by your txt msg)". I thought people had gone insane.

Most things that can be eaten are cubed, not squared. Care for a double-chocolate wombat cube? Mmmmm. Scrumptious.

Sundance has been running a lot of Hogan's Heroes reruns lately. Got to wondering where it was filmed. Studios and the back 40 in Culver City, CA.

Interesting read and photos of where many shows were filmed.

TV Studios, Backlots and Ranches in the 1950's-1970's

Love HH. When he died and all that came out I always watched him a little different. He probably had a boner when he made out with Helga.
