Too bad; they missed a golden opportunity to use the phrase “Woo Hoo, Hoo Ha” in the program.
“Elmer, what does Woo Hoo, Hoo Ha mean?”
“I think it’s what the backup singers are saying during ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight.’”
“I’m so confused…”
My vagina resents that metaphor.
How 'bout a ball-less sucker of cock?
Well, yeah. It’s called risk management.
The wimp probably has car insurance, too. Because of what might happen.
It would probably have to be an all-girl band, though. And audiences would probably expect more than just music.
Yeah, that work----
Hey, wait a minute! I’m a ball-less sucker of cocks, too! :eek: You say that like it’s a bad thing. 
So… Can I touch you with my pe…
With my thing which is a citizen of the country that I call my street?
I don’t see how he could anticipate any more damage than a couple of pissed off parents. The word isn’t considered obscene in any dictionary. Do you think a judge would award damages to someone in the audience? Do you think parents would yank their kids out of school? Exactly what damage could come from students using a perfectly useful term to describe female anatomy?
Damn it! I trust you’ll have no problem with me calling him a felcher? 
If I did, do you think I’d admit it? 
(la-la-la I can’t heeeeeaaaarrrrrr yooooooouuuuuu!)
Every few days we see a new thread in this forum about dumbass parents suing a school over dumbass stuff. Even if the principal would have won in court, it would have been a huge waste of time and money. Most public schools can’t afford either. As has been mentioned, principals often have to juggle a million things just to keep the school going. Frivolous lawsuits benefit no one. It comes under the heading of Choose Your Battles.
I’d take my chances that they’d file it under “frivolous lawsuits” and shitcan it before it ever grew legs.
Sure, and when you become principal of that school, you can take your chances and spread your vagina all over the place. :eek:
Some people prefer to play it safe.
What actually happened was the best possible outcome. The girls got to show their vaginas, and the principal’s ass is covered. A day of suspension is not hard time.
Like I said…he’s a total vagina!
The Ladies’ Front Bottom Monologues.
Probably not.
Maybe you’re right inre their thought process. Maybe I am. Neither of us is gonna know now, though. I do seem to recall, through the mist-shrouded years, that sticking it top the man usually didn’t involve well-thought out soundbites. Maybe you went to a different school, though.
Immeasurably, yes. If it happened long before the performance, then the adult thing to do (sorta like adults get to say “vagina” onstage when they perform the show) would be to take it up with the principal and/or administration then.
Actually, he doesn’t sound all that uptight to me. Positively hip and groovy I’d wager. Here, let’s allow him to speak for himself:
Pretty straightforward. And note, too, that they aren’t being punished because of the word “vagina”, but because they used it in a place and context that they had promised they wouldn’t.
And since it bears repeating once more:
The fucking superintendent said that they were welcome to perform the show.
I didn’t see that. Point taken and I retract my accusation. Of course, nowhere does it say that they knew they would be suspended and bravely stood up to the slack-jawed, knuckle dragging cretin of a principal and said in a firm, clear voice, “Vagina!” either. Looks like we both read something into the link. Oopsie.
A thousand pardons, I beg of thee then. Y’see when you say things like:
Then I have a tendency to think that you were claiming that I had said it was obscene. Clearly, your communicative powers are giving your comprehensive powers a run for their money.
Or just for the hell of it. “Most people” be damned, it happens. All the fucking time. Learn to deal with it. Or get apoplectic. No skin off my ass one way or the other.
Not at all sure what the principal would have said. I do, however, have this quote from the superintendent:
Golly! “As long as the intended audience knows what to expect, we don’t have a problem with it.” Thinga beauty, innit? The superintendent said that the students could have performed the entire fucking show. As written (since that, for some odd reason or another, seems to be a real issue with you). Not a reading. Not selections from. The whole. Fucking. Thing. And what’s more, the superintendent trumps the principal. Y’wanna lay odds on anything written before hand holding was popular being performed there anytime soon?
Funny, the desire to point out the wrongness of the principal was something else I missed in the link. Maybe, though, you got the super-duper version. The one where the girls are artfully backlit. With fans blowing their cherubic hair around. And a special for each of them. With Roscolux 33.
Which is, y’know, part of his job description. Proactive rather than reactive and other exciting new paradigms and suchlike. What would you have had the principal do in the same situation?
Once more, since I imagine it’ll be overlooked: I doubt that anything that might ever be construed as controversial won’t be performed anytime soon. So, well played ladies. You just fucked yourselves for the rest of your high school careers. Take a bow.
They stick you in a room sequestered from other students for the school day. In most schools you have to be escorted to the restroom and you eat lunch separately. It comes from the theory that students recognize that they have a psychological need for companionship and when deprived of it they will straighten up. In my experience, it’s not very effective. The same kids usually end up in the room, suggesting they aren’t really learning much from it…
Really. Not having a vagina, I couldn’t speak to the second part of that, but all I was taught about my penis was to leave it alone. Proud of it? Hah. :rolleyes:
Exactamundo. And when we get around to such a speech being acceptable - indeed, when a solemn, sober and male-liberating Penis Monologues plays in theatres (as opposed to the clowning around that is Puppetry of the Penis) - we can start arguing for female parts being discriminated against.
Indeed. Since, as I remember, breasts can be mentioned in Christmas carols without anyone being offended. It’s not the fact that it’s female, it’s the fact that it’s genitals.
So. Incredibly lame, then?
