Consistency is good, it can even lead to stereotyping...




I think that it is time for that second cup of coffee.


The good morning news is telling me that this is National Potato Day.
Is this what our elected leaders do all day long???

 

[bellisarius]

Good morning folks.

I'd be tickled pink if they'd restrict themselves to that all day long.

Potatoes are offensive to people on certain diets...

Diabetics can’t even have them.

Consistency is good, especially for those aspiring for the Lifetime Weasel Award.


It has all the magnificence of an elementary school self-esteem award . . . . Maybe a bit less.


If one is to have a potato day, then one needs to Quayle it.


National PotatoE Day.

Is there a matching Batman pistol?

Back to school season, and the news is interviewing soccer moms, tears aflowing, about how terrible it is that their kids have to practice active shooter drills. FFS, YOUR parents had to practice getting under their desks at the first sign of a nuclear explosion.

Buck up mom. Your little snot blower has a much greater chance of being killed in your mini-van because you're texting and driving.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I don't even wanna know . . . .

 

[Endrura]

I remember doing those drills, I also remember target assessments and knowing how useless those drills were.

And the coffee is really good today.

*chuckle*


Good observations...

Don't forget it is the season of parents forgetting kids in cars
thus ending their precious little lives.

I don’t remember participating in any nuclear drills in school. I remember a bunch of fire drills and tornado drills, though. Then, in high school, they started having drills for bomb threats. Crazy times.

 

[bellisarius]

What did those 1911's do to deserve that sort of treatment?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

All we had was fire drills.


Sometimes.


My grade 1-4 school was in a big old house, and that place was a fire trap.


Last time I rode through there, it was still there, so . . . .

Did you see the news the other day where that 12 year old busted a window to save a child locked in a car?

 

[SpeareChucker]

I remember those drills.

Then again, I was in school during the time of the Cuban Missile Crises...

Yes I did.


He better hope that the car owner was not a Progressive customer...

 

[bellisarius]

We didn't have those drills. Of course from 1952 onwards I lived on or near a SAC base. No one even bothered to pretend that there was a chance.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Our local Post Office still has this sign on the basement door.

 

[Endrura]

We did a class about how to assess targets followed by the nuclear drill, even a bunch of elementary kids knew it was a waste of time. We were across from Detroit and near three chemical valleys, then you have the actual government targets.

We also did tornado drills, fire/bomb evacuation drills, and shooter drills. It was a good waste of time. Today I think most kids would just follow the crowd outside and take pictures..

 

[SpeareChucker]

We never did shooter drills.

 

[Kantarii]

We never did shooter drills.

I’m sure they didn’t start those type of drills until after the 1999 Columbine shooting. Prior to that, only Charles Whitman at Texas A&M comes to mind.

 

[SpeareChucker]

We didn't have any towers, per se...

 

[Endrura]

School shootings have been around a long time, our drills started after an incident in Detroit in the 70's. I'm too lazy to read the list but there is one.

[SpeareChucker]

I was in the Marines during the 70s...


So, we sort of had shooter drills.

I was in elementary school and now I'm old so that must make you dino poop
