This one:"Pasadena school dogs chronic dropouts" First of all, I thought it was about dogs who work in the schools (like drug sniffers and proceeded to drop out of school and they had to replace that dog, who eventually dropped out.) Chronic dropouts are what? Once you've dropped out, you can't be chronic, can you? Chronic absences, I understand, but chronic dropouts? <br /><br />Sugar, the first line I thought of was, "It was a dark and stormy night..." also. Great minds and all that.Truth Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472512360373689979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490660904698632519.post-27137108918491909772010-08-07T07:00:39.357-07:002010-08-07T07:00:39.357-07:00+ they had Rep.

I went to...OK, I swear I cannot help myself here. <br /><br />I went to visit the Crapocate online after I left your site, and the "headline" I was greeted with reads thusly:<br /><br />"An air of giddiness hung in the hallways of Cade Middle School on Friday."<br /><br />I swear I could not make this stuff up.Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081429874378399282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490660904698632519.post-32115958107107318382010-08-07T06:07:44.663-07:002010-08-07T06:07:44.663-07:00It was a dark and stormy night...
oh.
So THAT...It was a dark and stormy night...<br /><br />oh.<br /><br />So THAT'S the place from where the VicAd rips off their insipid little banalities.<br /><br />Wow. I thought *I* had a lack of imagination, but jeez, that's just sad.<br /><br />Did like the one about the mayor in the nosebleed section, almost to "the moon".<br /><br />I swear I had some seats at a Billy Joel concert that could have fit that description. <br /><br />Worst seats EVER.Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17081429874378399282noreply@blogger.com
