Protection

I lived a block away from my highschool,..which was convenient,..but it ruined all chances of my parents letting me have a car, and completely ruined any excuse for being late.

I didn't get a car till I was 18,..I bought it myself,..$600.,...1979 Dodge Omni,...a very sexy car

Good thing was that it leaked so much oil, that it never needed an oil change.

Drove that baby for 4 years, till the transmission fell off.


.....misty, oil smoke colored memories of....

heeheehee.

Anyway,..I put a lojack in my B,..just cause I'm in the city so much. Better Safe.

I remember back in high school when, with some disassembly, we put the principal's VW up on the second floor of the building one night while he was away at a ballgame....next day, he just got on the intercom & announced that Tony Barnhill & his friends were excused from last period & his car had better be in his parking space when he was ready to go home! It was - nothing more was said (though there is a photo of it in the 1964 yearbook).

Somehow I just KNEW you'd had VW "speed building" experience!

We'd done it to a friend's roomie. College dorm. Wouldn't actually fit inna room (we measured to be sure) so we put it in the dining room. Beige one: It matched the walls /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hillarious. That's a classic!

 

[DrEntropy]

The "House Mouse" didn't think so. It kinda ~dripped~ something onna hardwood floor apparently.

 

[tony barnhill]

Coach Muse was good about stuff like that - guess it was all the years coaching football before becoming principal

 

[DrEntropy]

He understood "boyish enthusiasm" apparently /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[tony barnhill]

Yeah, but when you got him angry - he didn't care how hard he popped that butt with a hardwood paddle with holes drilled in it! & then he'd call your father to tel him what you did - & what he did about it!

 

[Nunyas]

ah yes, that was back in the days when parents didn't sue schools for paddling kids.... I think I may have been the last generation of kids to go through school under that type of society...

 

[tony barnhill]

Yeah, whatever the teacher did to you at school, your parents did worse when you got home!

 

[DrEntropy]

The memory is seared into my brain...

 

[tony barnhill]

& my butt!

 

[Nunyas]

ditto... including getting rapped pretty hard on my knuckles on one occasion when I got home... never woulda thought getting knuckles rapped would be painful...

 

[DrEntropy]

My brain was IN my butt back then!

 

[jsneddon]

Back then???

 

[tony barnhill]

Mine was somehwere else but definitely not above my neck!

 

[DrEntropy]

I was TRYING to be "diplomatic".

geezz.

 

[Nunyas]

apparently some people are better at being "diplomatic" than others... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

 

[tony barnhill]

Nobody ever accused me of diplomacy....my NCO's & junior officers always knew where I stood! I can never be a politician!
