    You can file suit against the school for that. They have no right to restrict your future happiness in that manner.

    You could sue as barfo suggested but that would be like suing the lotto for letting you win 500 million dollars.

    A banana could literally kill me. It's not on my diet per my specialist's orders.
    I ate one small banana once and my doctor gave me a royal chewing out.
    There's a long list of foods I'm not supposed to eat and bananas lead the way.
    There's my two cents.

    When I was in the seventh grade there was this kid who used to eat his boogers. Even nearly 6 decades later it makes me sick to recall.
    Believe it or not he was the son of a high level European diplomat.

    Oh that makes me sad for you, I love bananas!

    Okay, so, most of you know I'm vegan. Well recently I got a Prius and as I drove around in my new car I started realizing that even if I was speeding or there was plenty of room behind me to change lanes people HAD TO PASS ME. Now the newer Prius has some power but I would sometimes see men even shaking their heads as they passed. About a week into my new car ownership I was getting ready for work... drinking my Kale/Blueberry/Banana/soy milk smoothie and thinking about how I could drive all the way to California for $26 if I used the eco mode on all the flat parts to keep it charging and then pushed the button for the power/gas mode for the pass. Suddenly it occurred to me - Vegan Prius Driver - I have become the most annoying person on the planet! :smiley-195517897341

    @MarAzul and @bodyman5000 and 1 no need to pile on here - I know you've known all along.

    This is hilarious timing. Just yesterday I was looking at a new Prius my co-worker is working on. I'll leave out what I call the new ones.

    But I did have an honest question.

    WHERE do you get an Obama Biden 2012 sticker for a 2018 Prius?

    One more question just to be sure. You aren't in the left lane when this happens by any chance?

    Too funny... rock that stereotype! I don't know where to get the 2012 Obama/Biden sticker so I was thinking about going with "Coexist". :smiley-rainbow:

    And no, I was not in the left lane... I may be annoying and old but I'm not a Regulator... yet!

    I've found that a hammock only works when you have either an ice cold glass of lemonade or an ice cold glass of iced tea.
    I wouldn't be to obsessed with that if I were you. It's a little unseemly. And for God's sake, quit eating them.

    My Daughter got a new Prius, maybe the end of last year. My wife recently hit a deer at night with her Yaris. My daughter got after me because the Prius has Automatic High/Low light beam control, and perhaps that would have helped her avoid the deer. I kind a think she might be right, but my wife says she just bought the Yaris! Too damn soon to swap it for a new one. I just drive an old Pu Truck and my boat. I also drink a Kale/Spinach/lemon smoothie cut will V8 and a healthy shake of Tabasco, maybe four mornings a week. But this is just to accommodate my many counselors. I still think Veggies are food food.

    Say what you want about the Prius - I was surprised how nice it was to drive one cross country last year (it was a mid 2000s one, not the latest one). For a cheap econo-box - it did not feel like a penalty box at all and averaging over 45MPG across the continent was not too bad either. FWIW - We drove it through a snow storm, highways, cities, off-road'ish and it just did it all with no issues - I was also comfortable enough doing 8 hour driving days in it - which is not an easy achievement for a small car.

    I suggest a thread on farts. Did you know you can light your farts on fire? Yes, they create a mini natural gas explosion.



    It's an old college trick. I think it's required to matriculate from your freshman year.

    I think the type of kid that lights his farts probably drops out of college from matriculating on pornhub instead of doing homework.

    You were never a kid?
    I had a roommate from Condon, Oregon. That's way the hell out in nowhere. He loved to shadow box and chew tobacco. He challenged me by saying a real man had to take a mouthful of Copenhagen and hold it for five minutes if you wanted to fit in there in Condon. So, I did it. Puked all over the bathroom right after the five minutes. That was the last time I chewed tobacco. Kids

    I was in 4th grade, tried a bit of chew and spit it out and never touched it again. Same with cigarettes the same year. One puff and done. No thanks. Peer pressure didn't work on me very often.

    My mother gave me an entire pack of cigarettes to smoke when I was 8. Got so sick that I swore I'd never ever look at another cigarette. Then, shortly after my divorce in a masochistic fit, took up smoking when I was about 24. Smoked one year and said to myself "This is the dumbest thing you've ever done" and quit. That was close to half a century ago.
    I do love a good cigar, though.

    Edit: ps No inhaling, though.
    Sure, I was in college, I smoked marijuana, but I did not inhale it. Okay, I might have inhaled a little bit of it. Okay, okay, stop the 2nd degree, I inhaled a lot of it. Happy?
