I hope something weird happens to you today, in the spirit of the date. My whole week’s been a little odd.
And for my sake, I hope weird things happen all summer — as long as they’re newsworthy. My beat gets REAL slow when school is out, so the more newsy, quirky stories I can find, the better. I’m jealous of Mobile, Alabama for getting this story.
If you people love me, you’ll go find me a leprechaun. For further entertainment, watch this video after the one posted here.
OK Wendy I need a favor, you say your beat is real slow this time of year so here is a story. Yesterday I was out at a Waco Junior High School. Summer School was in session and as I walked up I saw some kids playing with their teacher. Good for them I thought, blowing of some steam. As I got closer I noticed that the teacher was throwing a dead bird to the kids who were hitting them with rulers. Like a game of base ball. Now it is my understanding that Waco provides “free” Summer School. IN other word my taxes pay for them to play baseball with dead birds. Is this really what we passed that bond for. Enough is enough!!!! I am going to channel my best Fred here. The city really needs to do something about these schools. I told my kids I would die before I would let them go to a Waco Junior High or High School. Because my son will be in 6th next school year I get to pay a hefty transfer fee so he can be in a good school. We will move once my daughter hits 6th. I get that there are some people out there that could not afford to send their kids to summer school and I think there are some allowances that should be made but most these parents treat this as a daycare for summer. I have a very good freind who is a teacher at WISD and she said in a conference that a parent actually said to her “I don’t make him do his homework so he can go to summer school”….what, are you serious? I am so outraged and I really think someone should look into it. I think the parents should have to attend summer school too. If your kid goes during the day then you have to go at night. The teachers can teach the parents how to help with homework so the kid doesn’t have to keep going to summer school. I went into the office at the school and told them but they looked at me like “we don’t care” which is the same reaction you get no matter what happend in the district. OK now I am all better I just had to vent…..how did I do Fred?
Single Mom, that’s gross!! I hope they all get nasty dead bird germs! As for WISD, that’s a tough one. I know some phenomenal folks, like Robin Wilson, the prin. at Tennyson and Nolan Correa, the prin. at UHS, but no amount of awesome faculty and staff can make up for a lack of parenting. Fraid you hit the nail on the head, ma’am.
I love that video!!!! I remember watchin that a couple of years back. That gay had made a special leprechaun flute apparatus!! hahahahaha oh for a good happy hour go to nifa’s between 2-6!! Its awesome…from what I remember! lol
Wendy, I am not absolutely sure, but I do think that quite possible you have hit a new low in the blog business, lololo,,,lmao, you dont need a pet you need a keeper, lolololol…
I’ve got some little red Demons that live in the woods behind my house. I “sic” my wife’s attack cat on them. I’m going to catch a whole bag of the little devils and release them (let them loose) at a Waco City Council meeting. We’ll see how high Mayor Virginia can jump when the little Demons try to scramble up her dress. In that situation; I’ll bet she could out-jump Kobe.
Question for folks, if they care to answer:
How many of you smoke cigarettes?? Okay, how many of you go to Happy Hour, drink enough to not be legally on the road when you leave?
Hmm. I’d rather drive and smoke than drink and drive. <><
Well, KDF not that it matters a lot, but I neither drink nor smoke. At one time I did drink and smoke,48 years ago, but then my Dad died of lung cancer, and my mother a short few years later, not a good way to die, so I thought, if one is going to die why make it any harder than it has to be. Besides to die from a cancer, caused by smoking are drinking is just plane stupid. I dont care what other folks do, but I don’t it myself…Besides, sex is a lot more fun without the drinking, and who needs a cig. when loving someone…..
Waco has it’s own (short man) little Leprechaun….it’s our own Waco City Manager Larry Groth. Look at JB’s pictures from Chattanooga and see the little Leprechaun in action. Alot of Waco’s “wheels” (rich movers and shakers) went on the Chattanooga trip with little Leprechaun Larry Groth. I think that Chattanooga highlighted just how UGLY Waco is in comparision with other cities. I wonder if that angered some of Waco’s “wheels” (on the trip) and then the cute little Leprechaun (Larry Groth) became a “scape-goat” or “whipping post” to vent-on about how ugly Waco actually has become in comparison. Poor little Leprechaun Larry Groth has no gold of his own and must beg and “boot-lick” to beautify his ugly Waco. Welcome to Waco politics little Larry.
Fred will tell you where the Gold is located. The Gold is buried under Waco’s ALICO building (Waco’s only sky-scraper) which is sticking up in Downtown Waco like a middle finger “flipping off” Baylor University.
Now that the slipper fits, read how to plan a fairy-tale wedding with your Prince Charming. Waco wedding coordinator Donna Roach of Wolfe Wholesale Florist offers tips and tricks for making the Big Day memorable.
