mrags Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Dumb. For her using that. And even more for them allowing it. Can't out it in there and then punish later. Their faults for not catching it sooner.
Chef Jim Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I love what her mom said. "My first reaction was 'you are such a nerd'"
DC Tom Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I love what her mom said. "My first reaction was 'you are such a nerd'" That's by far the only reasonable reaction of anyone involved.
KD in CA Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 The next time I read one of these school stories without wanting to punch a school bureaucrat in the face will be the first time.
Nanker Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Oh-eaye, o-gay-uck-fay-yourselfie-a-in-a-ye-ar-cay-ash-weay.
Doc Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I doubt anyone that would have figured that out by him/herself would have been offended by it. Aren't there more important things to biyatch about?
eSJayDee Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I think that if school officials have a problem w/ that AND they didn't catch it ahead of time, then THEY should be suspended for being incompetent/stupid.
DC Tom Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I think that if school officials have a problem w/ that AND they didn't catch it ahead of time, then THEY should be suspended for being incompetent/stupid. Yeah, really. They're supposed to be the ones TEACHING THAT ****!

Corp000085 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 She should have been disciplined accordingly... Before that was published. With that said, you can't publish something and then come back and discipline. It just doesn't work that way! Without pulling too much school law into this thread, there is plenty of history that protects the school from censoring school sponsored publications such as newspapers or yearbooks. That little joke should have been caught during editing, not after the fact. Disciplined, yes. Published, no. Funny and creative, yes. I'll bet this girl gets off scot free. The school will end up with H2S on their faces.
DC Tom Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I'll bet this girl gets off scot free. The school will end up with H2S on their faces. Hydrogen Sulfide? British airborne centimetic radar?
Captain Hindsight Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 For the superlatives at my high school, the yearbook committee was going to give each student an individual one. (We only had 150 students) One guy wanted to use the superlative "Most likely to be at a lakers game with Andy" which was a well known joke in our school of someone's username and password to a porn site. The faculty caught on and gave the kid detention the day before it was supposed to be published. He of course had to change his superlative.
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Hydrogen Sulfide? British airborne centimetic radar? Come on... Hydrogen Sulfide in water smells like "eggs." Hence, they will have "egg on their face." You are slipping Tom, over thinking the thing!
Corp000085 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Come on... Hydrogen Sulfide in water smells like "eggs." Hence, they will have "egg on their face." You are slipping Tom, over thinking the thing! Pretty good for 6am!!
ExiledInIllinois Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Pretty good for 6am!! LoL... Yep! In my village we don't have Lake water... We have village well which is very hard. We have to soften... Not so much H2S as much as clear Fe. It only takes as .3 ppm of Fe to cause staining. But, if hard water sits in the hot water tank too long you get the H2S smell...
DC Tom Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Come on... Hydrogen Sulfide in water smells like "eggs." Hence, they will have "egg on their face." You are slipping Tom, over thinking the thing! No it doesn't. It smells like ROTTEN eggs. It's one of the apocryphal stories of where centimetric bombing radar got it's name - supposedly, when some British boffin or another heard the idea, he responded "That stinks."

You're nerdier than the girl...
DC Tom Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 You're nerdier than the girl... No ****. You figure that out yourself, or host a symposium of international experts?
