I am definitely going to steer my daughter towards fashionable yet modest clothing. How ever idealistic that may be, it is possible!
Geeky guys always wear shower caps.
Every kitchen has a waffle maker.
There may be some Truth in Television to this. I don’t think I even know any high school students now, but I walked past the juniors section at Penney’s the other day and they had a lot of formal dresses out for homecoming. I don’t think I saw any long gowns.
I do see many young women out and about in casual maxi-length dresses and skirts, so maybe long dresses don’t seem “special” at the moment?
Interesting. When I went to elementary school in the early 70s on the east coast, the school served students from kindergarten through 6th grade, and had classrooms that opened to internal hallways, with the sole exception of the kindergarten classroom which opened to the internal hallway and to the outside - I assume that outside access was in case of emergency - since kindergarteners might not travel through the hallway in an orderly fashion under those circumstances. In more recent years, I have seen special needs classrooms without outside access, presumably for the same reason.
Good luck.
I’ve got the most mature, decent daughter you can imagine, but just last week there was an “I wanna wear a miniskirt” battle that could have been from a 60s sitcom script.
I never want my baby girl to grow up…wah:(
All American FBI Agents/SWAT teams know that when they kick their way into a perp’s home/apartment in traditional two-handed pistol stance it’s not necessary to search the closets before shouting “Clear!” for all to hear.
All in-door crime-scene investigation MUST be done in dim light.
All sewers are tall enough to walk upright in and by law must contain lighting and electrical conduits.
All digital images can be examined for hidden information in complete detail by the use of the ‘Enlarge’ and ‘Clarify’ command.
For American cops, shooting someone dead is just an ordinary day at work.
If an American dad wants his son to love him, he only needs to take him outside and play catch - baseball or football.
However, if any son grows up to be a drug addict, serial murderer, it is because his damned American dad admits he never had time to take his son out in the backyard to throw a ball.
Taking your son to a real, professional baseball game is the Holy Grail - it proves undying father/son bonding and now everyone can (and most likely soon will) die happy.
Not quite; the paperwork’s a bitch.
Exactly. The ratio between the number of times American cops draw their weapons versus use their radios is 1:1.
(Side note: many cops consider Barney Miller to be the most accurate cop show ever, because it was the only one to show the detectives filling out paperwork.)
All cops love doughnuts, and are able to eat as many as they desire, without gaining weight.
The American military consists only of the Army and Navy, with a small Marine Corps. The Air Force is about 10 guys in a B-52, and the Coast Guard doesn’t exist at all. Oh, and the American military has no enlisted ranks, only officers and non-coms.
Chinese and Thai restaurants exist, but only in New York or LA. Everywhere else, Americans eat meat and potatoes or pizza.
And the general or colonel is almost always some warmongering psycho who’s trying to cause trouble, doesn’t trust civilians despite the fact that they’re the subject matter experts at the scene of what ever is going on, or has some secret agenda.
Actually, I have to admit that those two-piece “modest full suits” (tunic + leggings) are cute as a bug and look quite comfortable.
I have nothing against bikini bathing suits on anyone who wants to wear one, but now that we’ve got high-tech swimsuit fabrics that are light and fast-drying instead of the soggy wool of yesteryear, a fuller-coverage swim outfit might actually be more convenient for many people.
Especially with sun protection such a burning (ha ha) issue. Much less trouble than constantly having to slather sunscreen on all the exposed bits and then get sunburned on the spots you missed, that’s for sure.

An ethnic Jew, but almost certainly not a practicing Jew.
Does vBulletin support “like” buttons? SDMB needs them.
The Wire surpassed Barney Millerwhen they showed, not only paperwork, but even – hold on to your hat – a search warrant being denied! WHAT!? That happens!?
Outside of The Wire, search warrants are always granted or unecessary. Evidence from improper searches is never supressed, unless Dexter plans to kill the defendent later.
here’s another one:
NYPD officers usually write reports by fingerpecking at old manual or electric typewriters.
…
Actually, this is totally true. In 2009, the NYPD spent almost a milion dollars buying new typewriters. For realsies.
The most undateable, romantically challenged, hopeless losers have a date every week.
After a night of sex when fornicators get out of bed they are still in their underwear.
One light “karate chop” to the neck always puts a man into a long-lasting and completely harmless state of unconscienseness.
