| 2644 | Article | Vaporman87 | You know, when I first read this I thought, "C'mon... seriously?" Then I remembered that I once had an irrational fear of Bert and Ernie. But the thing was, it was only at night... in bed. During the day, I could watch them on Sesame Street and not give it a second thought. But at night they bothered me for whatever reason. If I would think about them, I would have a hard time getting to sleep. Then I would, occasionally, see one or both of them in my dreams, and though they weren't physically assaulting me or threatening me, I wanted away from them. So weird!!! | Sep 14, 2015 |  | |
| 2645 | Article | kidcoffee | At night a child's imagination can become a very dark place where even innocent muppets can become monsters hell bent on our gruesome demise...or at least this is what I keep telling myself. To this day I don't understand quite why my brain latched onto Waldorf and Statler in particular as opposed to Alf, Bert and Ernie,or any number of other much more horrifying creatures, but it did. Throw in a bit of the old ultra violence and my fate was sealed. I would say I am ashamed, but seeing as I did just out myself in an article I know that won't fly. | Muppet Mayhem | Sep 14, 2015 | |
| 2660 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Very nice list Hoju. This was a fun recap of some of my favorite mascots from the good old days. I would have to say that the Noid was also on the top of my list. He had that great quality of being the loveable bad guy. And that's hard to achieve, especially for something like an ad campaign. I wish they would bring him back in full force. I might consider buying a Dominos Pizza if they did. LOL I would only add two honorable mentions here... those being the California Raisins, and Spuds McKenzie. I liked Spuds a lot (I had a couple Spuds McKenzie t-shirts in my youth). Even though he was the mascot of a product I could not purchase (nor did I want to), he was fun and cool. You know, I think I may actually STILL own one of those Spuds McKenzie t-shirts. LOL | 5 Best Food Mascots of the 80's and 90's | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2649 | Article | Vaporman87 | In my teenage years, I don't think I was ever escorted to the Principal's office (except one "faux" escort that was done to scare me - that's another story). But in my elementary school years, I was there a time or two. Mostly because we were horsing around in the school when we were supposed to be outside for recess. You see, we had this club that we called The Destroyers (and later... C.Y.G.A. "Citizen Young Guardian Avengers"... LOL). Our mission was simple: Stay inside the school during recess, and don't get caught. Well, while we were quite stealthy for our age, we didn't always escape the roaming eyes of the teachers. | The Principal's Office | Sep 15, 2015 | |
| 2653 | Article | massreality | I got sent to the principals office once in fourth grade. It was a horrible experience. Here is how it all went down: At lunch, we were all sitting at those long lunch tables just chatting like usual. One of the boys at the end of the table made a nasty comment about a rather large girl who was sitting at the other end of the table. I was in the middle of the table, so I heard the comment and snickered. You could see people turning and looking towards the girl and whispering, and she instantly knew someone had made a joke at her expense. She started getting upset and wanted to know what was said, but no one would repeat it or even look at her. After lunch ended, she cornered me with tears in her eyes, and begged me to repeat it. I told her not to take it so serious and forget about it. The guy who said it was a jerk. She got a little hysterical and out of desperation, I repeated it only once she agreed not to pursue the situation any further. I was a stupid, stupid little boy. Five minutes later, we're in class and suddenly both myself and the boy who made the comment were summoned to the principal's office. We were both forced to stand, while she wanted to hear what happened. He lied and said he didn't know, and I decided to cover my own butt and just tell the truth. The problem was, I have/had a hard problem keeping eye contact. I was scared and had never been in trouble, so that didn't help. Once I finished, the principal began calling me a liar and said that I wouldn't look her in the eyes, so she knows I'm lying. She dismissed the other student, and then proceeded to chastise me and call my dad. Lucky for me, my grandma was living with us and she took the call. She knew me well enough to know that wasn't something I would do. I walked home from school and she was waiting on the porch, with a switch, just in case I had made the comment. Once I explained the situation, she just nodded and I went to my room to play Sega. I asked my dad just a few months ago if she had ever told him about that call. He was shocked to hear about it and said not once had she mentioned it. The bad thing about that experience is it really affected me. I have this extreme irritation with getting in trouble over something I didn't do. Like, it sends me into a furious rage, which then, makes me look guilty, which doesn't help. So, my trip to the principal office taught me that lying is the best policy and nothing good comes out of telling the truth. :) | The Principal's Office | Sep 16, 2015 | |
| 2655 | Article | Vaporman87 | @massreality: So basically we can't believe a word you say. LOL. You are probably lying about not lying in this story even. For shame. Seriously though, that seems like a poor way to handle the situation on the part of the Principal. Especially if the student does not have any record of causing trouble. Then again, I've known my fair share of crappy Principals. So maybe it's just part of the job desription. | The Principal's Office | Sep 17, 2015 | |
| 2663 | Article | comic_book_fan | i had been to the principal office a few times my first time happened when i was in the first grade me and a couple of friends were coming back from PE and were ran by the library when miss cox came out and said busted dude she only called me this as a nick name because i said dude a lot well anyways i just got a warning for that. the next time me and the school bully got sent to the office because we were supposed to be cleaning up the room and set the chairs in top of the desks anyway he kept poking me in the head with the chair leg i finally lost my temper and tried to take the chair from him and it led to us going to the floor and the chair broke we got a small writing assignment and his dad had to pay for it because he started it which he admitted to. then there was the time i bought 4 stolen gi joe action figures from the same bully for a dollar i knew that was too good of a deal. see the kid who owned the figures wanted them back and i wouldn't budge until i got my dollar back and the bully already bought a pop with 50 cents of it i agreed to give back the figures because the principle knew my family and threatened to call my mom and tell her i was accused of stealing which would have been very bad for me plus i was about to miss the bus i don't know what the bully's punishment was they sent me and the gi joe kid back to class but the bully was back in school after that without missing any school so it must not have been too bad | The Principal's Office | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2669 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's funny to imagine an underworld in schools with kids selling hot merchandise like stolen G.I. Joe figures. LOL | The Principal's Office | Sep 18, 2015 | |
| 2671 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @comic_book_fan Shady action figure business deals and trades deserve their own thread in the forums, I think. Glad to know your buddy "fessed-up" and that you returned the stolen Joes. Sounds like you were a trustworthy duo. @massreality So basically you were a member of the A-Team? Wrongly accused of a crime you did not commit. As a former fat kid I feel that girl's pain, but she should have just let it go and drowned her sorrows in another package of Dunkaroos like the rest of us. @Vaporman87 So what prompted the name change of your group and where was the best place to hide inside without getting caught? | The Principal's Office | Sep 19, 2015 | |
| 2672 | Article | Vaporman87 | I don't recall the reason for the name change, except that the later incarnation of our group added a new member who was excited to change our name and give us all "bios". LOL Best place to hide was the top floor. Teachers were less likely to travel all the way up there unless it was necessary to do so. That floor had the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classrooms and the Principal's office (of all things). But his door was almost always closed, or his office empty. Hmmm. I wonder what he was doing in there with the door closed all the time... come to think of it. | The Principal's Office | Sep 19, 2015 | |
