Every grocery store is packed with soccer moms bitching at poor workers to find them "organic hand soap" and clotting in groups in every aisle, discussing who's spawn got into X college.

Its like Greenwich, the only difference being nobody here has any real money, and the people aren't half as interesting as people from NYC burbs like Greenwich. In fact, thats exactly what I live in - a low rent, half assed PA attempt at Greenwich. McRich. McCultured... a tofu and Splenda attempt at a NYC or LA burb.

I don't think you have ever been to Greenwich.

And youa re towheaded brat away from being Philly guy.

My suggestion of priest and young boy was soundly rejected.

I'm guessing going as Prussian Blue would bring about a similar reaction?

Yeah. Perhaps.

Although, let me add that you are free to supplement the institutional bureaucracy's teaching methods and materials any way you see fit, so your response is somewhat lame.*

*As usual.

It's only lame if you think inside the box. Kids only have 12 years of school. It goes by quickly. Given that the lots of schools are failing now and there is cure on the horizon, if you could provide them an alternative now, on a full-on basis, rather than supplementary, why is that lame? More like responsive and responsible.

I was the banana.

If she has short hair (or can fit her hair under a short hair wig), Gilligan and the Skipper is good (they do need to be different body size). it's real simple and everyone gets who you are.

Gilligan is simple red rugby shirt and white sailor hat. Jeans.

Skipper is skipper hat, blue polo shirt, whitish pants.

Can be as whitebread or as suggestive as you want to be.

I don't think enough was said. Why would you do this? Why would you sit on the sidewalk anywhere? Why in front of Marie Callendars? Why, especially when clearly the sidewalk is going to be very, very hot?

Yes. He lives in a cave.

How about Barbara and G.H.W. Bush - no costume necessary!

ZING!

I went to public schools all my life. And not once have I run into someone, whose educational experience was supplemented on even the most limited basis, who didn't (or couldn't but for the weed, dude) excel in college.

But I think you should home-school your kids. It will keep them and their* crazy ass, backwards ideas away from mine.

So did I, but my experience must not be with as rarified a crowd as you know. Also, public elementary school, based upon my geographically limited first hand investigatory experience appears to have changed in the twenty five plus years since I was an elementary school student. And changed for the worse.

I don't home-school my kids and you know that, however, if it was a choice between public and nothing, I would consider it. There are plenty of alternative environments for socialisation.

There is normally a minimum bet of $10. In a decent size tourney, first prize will be $50K or more.
