Ya know, if I actually cared what you thought of me, I’d be upset.
Oh and LaurAnge, what make us assholes is that we disagreed with him.
Monty, add me to the list of “assholes” that want to call you out on your comment. clay’s girlfriend missed his performance, got upset over this, and cried. How, exactly, does that make him a jerk? If your answer is something like “He was in a play, duh”, then some of us are not getting it.
And please try to provide an actual answer instead of simply insulting me. I hope you are capable of such.
Lib – lighten up. It’s not neccessary for you to be a lawyer 24/7.
clay – that sucks. And I bet it was hard for you not to be seen by her either. I’m guessing it was important for you as well.
But I wouldn’t blame the principal too much. Sometimes people in authority need to back up their underlings in order to provide a united front. It wouldn’t have done the faculty’s morale or credibility much good if she agreed that the VP was a lying sack of shit.
Yeah ok, maybe the P & VP should have told you the real reason why they didn’t let the kids in. Maybe they thought you weren’t mature enough to understand the fact that interupting a play is disruptive and rude. You have to consider other people’s enjoyment of the play too you know.

It is apparently necessary, however, for you to be a nanny. Unfortunately, OSHA has informed me that if you don’t get off my ass, I will have to install hand rails and safety straps. But thank you anyway.
In this entire thread, I have posted exactly one sentence directed towards you. And only one post in all. (This one excluded.) If you think this constitutes my being on your ass, perhaps you need a lesson in anatomy. In the meantime, I roll my eyes in your general direction.
The one sentence you directed to me indicated that you were familiar with my activities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Perhaps you exaggerated. Considerably. Grossly. Recklessly, even?
No, and that wasn’t my intent to imlpy that. It was that clay posted a rant, and instead of simply reading it and taking it at face value, you immediately jumped on it and tore it apart, attempting to disprove most of what he said. Perhaps this wasn’t your intent, but it looks like you were looking to pick a fight anywhere you could find one, and just happened to settle here.
Anal much? Why do you take everything (okay, everything in this thread anyway :rolleyes: ) so literally? You sound like so much fun to be around.
Upon preview, ditto what tdn said.

I’m afraid your facts are mixed up.
As the record shows, what I did immediately was ask nicely for clarification about a seeming contradiction. What I did second was admit to my own density, and seek a better understanding. I then asked another question in the hopes of making sense of the rant.
After having finally formulated my concerns, I expressed them, I thought, with civility. That was when Clayton used my God’s name as an expletive, and he and his lap dogs lit into me.
I then assured him, patiently, that I was not questioning his truthfulness, and proceeded to explain in quite some detail why his conclusion about his principal and vice-principal did not add up.
In fact, throughout the course of my discussions with him, I have been polite, patient, understanding, and civil. You apparently have me confused with something you’ve made up.
So, when someone doesn’t immediately question an OP’s validity, they’re a lapdog? WTF?
And this latest post of yours shows what a fucking bore you probably are IRL. (Since my eyes hurt from rolling them throughout this thread, I’ll skip it this time.)
Sorry for not addressing the OP, but others have said what I would, and better. But I couldn’t let this:
be ignored.
First: the obvious irony in saying “peace out” and then talking about murder. I’m not even going to go into it.
Second, and most importantly: I realise that you probably meant this in an hyperbolic manner, but statements like this, on public message boards are illegal. I never thought I’d use the phrase “in the wake of Columbine,” but in the wake of Columbine, our culture is such that you might want to think twice before making statements like this which could get you arrested or, at the very least, forced into therapy. Your school should be notified of this, and the appropriate measures taken.
Yes, my dear rabbit, I would likely bore you to tears.
That sucks, clayton. Don’t worry, tho. I am sure it is the worst thing that will ever happen to you and your gf. Soon you will be an adult, get a job, and no one will ever lie to you again.
And I think many fail to appreciate the tremendous service Lib is providing here - offering himself up as a convenient target for these kids’ wrath, instead of folks who have control of their permanent records!
In as much seriousness as I can bring to bear on this topic, rather than just wailing and gnashing your teeth about those big bad lying adults, howzabout looking ahead and seeing if there is anything you could do to prevent similar recurrences in the future? Maybe see if future presentations could be paced/presented in a manner to allow seating in betwen acts. Discuss this ahead of time with your faculty sponsor and the administration, and note the seating policy on any posters/announcements.
Nah, forget it. Who’s got the rotten eggs?
“Oh, no! Now I’ve told two boys that I would go to the dance! What am I going to do!? This is the worst problem I’ve ever had! The worst!” — Marcia Brady
Wow Clay, I think it’s pretty cool you did your own detective work and found out.
Sucks what happened though.
This is sheer genius. That Clayton didn’t get the answer when I asked him whether 464 x 513 was 238032 or 298802 means that he has been wrong about everything in his entire life. His career, his girlfriend… it’s all been a sham!
Although I do see why maybe Lib wanted to verify the exact details, I don’t think there’s much of a point in doing so. Guy’s girl missed his performance, got upset and cried. A little OTT for your liking? Maybe. Drama queen? Potentially abusive boyfriend? Governement-backed high-school conspiracies? C’mon, take a chill pill. I see no reason why shit like this should be posted to a guy complaining about (however trivial or mundane) stuff:
or
Specially when it’s not like the Principal was your mother or fuckbuddy.
Take it easy.
(And the only guy who knows for sure whether or not the principal is lying is the big P himself)
On re-read, I see that I was wrong. Sorry. Mea culpa, youa culpa, everyone a culpa culpa.
As far as your problem about taking two boys to the dance, just tell one of them that “something suddenly came up.”
<smugly>
Girls say that to me all the time.
</smugly>
Bringing up the crying angle makes your gf out to be a histrionic teenager. Look, it’s too bad she missed the play, and I’ll assume that she expected to be back in time to see it. Sometimes buses are late and you miss plays. No need to cry about it.
I don’t think there was a grand conspiricy to make the field-trip students miss the play. Maybe they did not wish to bring a grinding halt to the performance to usher in dozens of people.
