mrags Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Dumb. For her using that. And even more for them allowing it. Can't out it in there and then punish later. Their faults for not catching it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I love what her mom said. "My first reaction was 'you are such a nerd'" That's by far the only reasonable reaction of anyone involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSJayDee Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think that if school officials have a problem w/ that AND they didn't catch it ahead of time, then THEY should be suspended for being incompetent/stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 She should have been disciplined accordingly... Before that was published. With that said, you can't publish something and then come back and discipline. It just doesn't work that way! Without pulling too much school law into this thread, there is plenty of history that protects the school from censoring school sponsored publications such as newspapers or yearbooks. That little joke should have been caught during editing, not after the fact. Disciplined, yes. Published, no. Funny and creative, yes. I'll bet this girl gets off scot free. The school will end up with H2S on their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 For the superlatives at my high school, the yearbook committee was going to give each student an individual one. (We only had 150 students) One guy wanted to use the superlative "Most likely to be at a lakers game with Andy" which was a well known joke in our school of someone's username and password to a porn site. The faculty caught on and gave the kid detention the day before it was supposed to be published. He of course had to change his superlative.

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hydrogen Sulfide? British airborne centimetic radar? Come on... Hydrogen Sulfide in water smells like "eggs." Hence, they will have "egg on their face." You are slipping Tom, over thinking the thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Pretty good for 6am!! LoL... Yep! In my village we don't have Lake water... We have village well which is very hard. We have to soften... Not so much H2S as much as clear Fe. It only takes as .3 ppm of Fe to cause staining. But, if hard water sits in the hot water tank too long you get the H2S smell...

No it doesn't. It smells like ROTTEN eggs. It's one of the apocryphal stories of where centimetric bombing radar got it's name - supposedly, when some British boffin or another heard the idea, he responded "That stinks."

Johnny Hammersticks Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I remember when I was a stupid high school senior I submitted the following PJ O'Rourke quote along with my senior picture: "Drugs have taught an entire generation of kids the metric system." Thankfully, my guidance counselor (and lacrosse coach) caught wind of it, and made me run suicide sprints until I threw up all over my shoes. Stupid. I ended up choosing a Whitman quote I think.

boyst Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 We didn't have quotes. That was easy. We didn't, either. I was too embarrassed to say that. It seems like a very common thing. The Seniors did get color pictures, though. I hate quoting other people for my original thoughts, and I am quite certain my thoughts are original. #quotes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Our quotes were: 1979 - The year to get ahead Party 'til ya puke. Six of us combined our graduation parties in to one. We had six kegs of beer (18 was legal then) and we had a banner over the stage with the Party 'til ya puke quote in it. And you guessed it. Someone picked right below it. We were nuts. I used to smoke pot in study hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
