Which reminds me, I need to find that Julie Brown CD.
That’s an old '80’s tune that brings back the high school years. I always thought the idea of the prom queen shooting up the school was pretty out there, now it seems to happen every month or so.
I don’t get the thread title as it relates to driving, but the actual song lyrics are:
Everybody run,
The homecoming queen’s got a gun.
Everybody run,
The homecoming queen has got a gun.
You can hear this and many other great songs on RFOC (Radio Free Opal Cat)

Did I say that Zette? I must’ve been really angry. Or drunk ;).
Nice hijack, Coldfire. As ancient veterans know, the part of Judy’s post that causes the most concern is deciding which of these statements is scarier:

Judy! How is the goose? Is she going to wear sackcloth for Lent? You have to post here more often.

Andriod,
I even started a thread in MPSIMS to ask you if it was OK for me to use, but you didn’t see it. I’m thinking of printing it out on nice paper and hanging it in my cube at work

Judy? JUDY!?!? Is this YOU?!? HEY, long time no see!
I’m trying to imagine you teaching someone to drive, Judy… not that you don’t drive well (I’m sure you do), but I know how you like to take little detours off the “main road,” so to speak, to go exploring (or exploding, as the case may be…).

You guys need a secretary\office manager?

Well, we just might need a secretary, Sassy. As you can imagine, the main requirement is the ability to distract people.
As a test, please strip completely and explain me why McCain isn’t going to be the next US president. If I understand afterwards, you’re either butt-ugly or hired

So you were a pregnant prom queen that had a son?
Pay attention Phobia. I didnt say the prom queen was pregnant. I said the prom queen’s got a son. As a matter of fact, 2 sons!!!

I probably flunked biology, too. All I am saying is look out we’re on the road again!!

Relax, don’t take personal offense at that statement.
It was just a jest using juxtaposition.
Say that three times fast, if you can.
Psssst! Phobia…I also wasnt the home coming queen.

Obviously the judging was tampered or sight impaired.
Please note that Coldfire hasn’t been back…
teehee!
Judy’s posting here! Welcome home!
I survived 2 kids’ education in driving. They did, too. Barely. The fact that PUNdit did most of the instruction undoubtedly had much to do with that, though. I learned that I am not a patient person.
My son liked to stay to the right side of the road. Constantly chanting "Get off the curbGet off the curbGet off the curb, dammit had only minimal effect. Blowing out the right front tire after hitting the curb at 35 mph, and having to change it while being honked at by a few hundred irate commuters made a much better impression.
My daughter knew much more about driving than either of her parents. The dent in the R rear door of the car is permanant testimony to her superior abilty to judge distances & angles while practicing parallel parking.
Ah, the joys of parenthood. Hope your experience in Driver Education is easy on your heart, & your car, & that you don’t make a hole in the floorboard on the paasenger side where there is not a brake pedal.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
I learned from my dad. A couple times he had to reach over and grab the steering wheel. That was on a '65 Chevy pickup with the steering wheel having 120 degs of slop. He seemed to handle it okay.
Mom was a different story. She put me on edge long after I had my real license. Something about that brake button she “installed” on the dashboard. “But mom, I’m just driving like you do.” Since then, I’ve figured out what bothered her.
Teaching kids to drive can be a real pain.
