| 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. :) | Sep 16, 2015 |  | |
| 2652 | Article | onipar | Oh man, this was great. It sounds just like the sort of madness I would get up to around the Halloween season. I mean, look, I've gone and turned myself into a giant mutant candy corn! | Mellowcreme Madness | Sep 16, 2015 | |
| 2651 | Article | kidcoffee | I wish I could take credit for the idea, but this was all my best friend. He was definitely the mad scientist of the two of us, but now knowing a few of his secrets I am pretty sure I can muster up a recreation. I only wish I was able to hang on to some of my old Joes, but I am pretty sure I can still pick them up cheap at Dollar General. Also now I have an excuse to pick up more candy pumpkins, as if I really needed one. | Mellowcreme Madness | Sep 15, 2015 | |
| 2650 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can't say I care too much for the flavor or texture of those little mellowcream pumpkins, but I have to give it to you... this is pure genius. LOL I wish I would have thought to do this in my youth. I would have had a blast turning my Joes into pumpkin people, all with varying face designs. If you DO make a few here in the present, I must see them! LOL | Mellowcreme Madness | Sep 15, 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 | |
| 2648 | Article | onipar | Ha! Oh man, I won't lie. I almost want that to happen. :-p | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 14, 2015 | |
| 2647 | Article | Vaporman87 | One day onipar is going to come across a weird film that, when watched, results in him being haunted by visions and eventually done in. | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | Sep 14, 2015 | |
| 2646 | Article | onipar | Vkimo, yeah, I figure it's always worth a glance. At the very least I might find some old horror for a quarter. :-) | VHS Television Treasure Hunt | 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 | |
| 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!!! | Muppet Mayhem | Sep 14, 2015 | |
