When I posted a question about corporal punishment in Utah schools a few weeks back,you replied with a post that a high school principal hit you with a paddle for sloppy clothes,Is that right?

The question in your post is fine....

but asking "who" someone on the board "is" violates the rules here.

RfM is a place where everyone is allowed to be anonymous.

I don't want to know everything about him,but wanted to know about the experience he had a senior at high school.

If you search through his posts’ I think you will find reference to him serving a Mormon mission around 1968. So his experience in high school was different than those a generation or two later.

I always find it odd that people who pst here aren’t more willing to state *when* the experiences they’re writing about occurred. To the nearest decade, at least. Since mormonism changes a lot from decade to decade...

Props to EOD for lots of great stories — I always appreciate reading them.

It was for sloppy clothes though. I don’t think he would’ve been mouthing off.

in b 4 ~ Ervil Lebaron is EOD's mom/dad ~

Contrary to popular belief, I am not EOD.

Is this the answer to a TV game show question?

A: God?

I have been called, by a cousin no less, EOD's sockpuppet on many occasions. I can affirm, however, that I am not his sockpuppet for the simple reason that he never wears socks.

I hope that clears things up.

Well then, how come I've never seen the two of you in the same place at the same time ?

How do you know you haven't? Do you always check people's socks?

I've never seen you in real life. You could be passing The Turing Test here.

Christianity made me talk like an idiot.

Sure. Blame it on Christianity.

Does he wear pants? How about leggings?

I am not knowledgeable, thank whatever gods may be, on whether or not he wears pants. You must consult the expert, even Saucie Le Sauce, for such intimate details.

Hahahahahhahahahaha I'm the only one who knows... and I'm not

saying.

> and I'm not saying.

Thank you, Saucie. You have my undying gratitude.

I can say, with some certainty, that he does not wear garments.

I still treasure that evening ...

Lot's Wife is experiencing a fit of the vapors.

Yeah, well imagine me trying to convince Saucie that I was just trying to be funny!!

Lot's Wife has fainted and can't get up.

Clap, clap!

Clap on.
Clap off.
Clap on clap off
The Clapper!

*clap clap*

Why are we talking about gonorrhea?

Spoken like a true military medic.

Saucie: Since he doesn't wear the garment, is it true E.O.D. goes commando?

It was in broad daylight!

One thing I want to clear up, hopefully without coming across as boastful, is that I am a double d.

With ear hair.

I think he's the 64 year old elder's quorum secretary who attends church once a month.

I shall now keep it in mind to tread carefully around you, messygoop!!

In the 1960s it was normal for school officials to swat any student for any infraction. Sometimes just a large paddle or a large paddle with holes drilled in it to hurt and bruise more.

Talking in class, rough housing, inappropriate dress, smoking, etc. back then girls had to wear dresses, no shorter than 4 inches when kneeling on the floor. Yes I was dragged in to have my hem measured. Boys had to wear dress pants and ironed shirts. No permapress then. Any infraction resulted in swats.

No one dared to talk in class. You also had to be limber so you could crawl under your desk if the nuclear attack bell went off!

I had to wear gum on my nose in class for disregarding the no chewing gum rule.

I was often spanked at church. I really got to know the women's restroom and nursing room.

I've never shared them because they don't directly correlate with mormonism.

I was the president of the Mickey Mouse Club in class.

What was the MMC all about?

It was for violating one of the teacher's 3 rules.

1. You (student) had the right to do things correctly the first time.
2. You had the right to wear a coat. (It could be 50 degrees with drizzle and this lardass teacher had the A/C roaring full blast)
3. You had the right to remain silent. (No talking except when called upon)

When you broke one of his rules, you had to stand up and sing the Mickey Mouse song.

Yes, the prick was an asshole stake high councilor. One of the few mormon teachers outside of the morridor.

I had a nun at my Catholic school who would fling chalkboard erasers at students who were not paying attention to her lectures. One kid who had fallen asleep in class woke up with a chalky imprint in his hair.

She would also use a chalkboard pointer to swat students who had wandering eyes during tests.

Good times.

I got told about nun and priest bullying from my Catholic friends. Made me angry. I suffered some too because I stuttered. Fucking asshole teachers.

Many of my teachers at private schools in England used to throw blackboard dusters and hit children over the head with large books, usually for being "stupid". Many adults were disgustingly violent in the sixties.

Q. Does an elderolddog have Buddha nature?

A. Woof.

:-) I always appreciate EOD's posts.

"Who is elderoldog on this board?"

That was a question the computer asked Spock after he was reborn on the Genesis planet.

The next two questions were "How do you feel?" and "Do you pay an honest tithe?"

Don't you people know your scriptures!?

T'were the Spring of '62. The trees were budding, flowers blooming and love was in the air.

Teen slave to fashion, I followed the crowd, wearing only Levi 501 jeans, ironed so as to create a crease, and with the belt loops very carefully removed, involving a razor to the interior stitching of the loops to the pants. There was nothing 'sloppy' about who we dressed!

School rules said you had to have your shirt tucked in and wear a belt. These rules were very laxly enforced, so most of us neither tucked our shirts in nor had belt loops, so wearing a belt would have been silly!

Not a single one of my classroom teachers every made my/our sartorial decisions an issue. It was only Mr. Bitz, the vice principal not in charge of attendance. (I have a couple of stories about that guy!)

Old man Bitz on one of his very infrequent forays out onto the campus caught me between classes being sartorially splendid and marched me to his office where he lectured me and then gave me a swat. It was the ol' "bend over and grab your ankles" routine, with the amateur torture of stringing out the procedure with a couple of warm-up gentle taps and then 'WHAM', the masterstroke.

Fortunately, there was none of that "thank you, may I have another crap" I'd experience the following Autumn, after moving into U of U's Sigma Pi fraternity house.

And the swat changed nothing! No one changed how they dressed.

> There was nothing 'sloppy' about who we dressed!

Dare I ask?

No! Simply assume that as with so many mere mortals, I can err.

To err is human, to not is canine.

How old was elderoldog when that guy Bitz hit you with the paddle?

Did that happen in Utah?

I was 17, a virgin, and it was at Rancho High, in Las Vegas, NV.

It was just another day in paradise.

I'M NOT ELDERDOG & PLEASE DON'T CONFUSE US!!!

sheesh!

elderoldog is the angel Moroni/Nephi who appeared Joseph Smith.

He guided Joseph to the golden plates. And most of all he commanded Joseph Smith with a flaming sword to cheat on his wife Emma.

I shan't let it all go to my head. Really, I shan't!

Who is John Galt?

Only Dagny is allowed to answer!

He wasn't as good as I thought. ;-)

Is it Rork or Reerden? Which one was it?

The real answer...

https://www.britannica.com/biography/John-Galt

John Galt, (born May 2, 1779, Irvine, Ayrshire, Scot.—died April 11, 1839, Greenock, Renfrewshire), prolific Scottish novelist admired for his depiction of country life.

Galt settled in London in 1804. Commissioned by a merchant firm to establish trade agreements, he travelled to the Mediterranean area, where he met the poet Byron, with whom he travelled to Malta and later to Athens. (In 1830 he published Life of Lord Byron.) Other commercial ventures took him to France and the Netherlands (1814) and to Canada (1826). He opened up a road between Lakes Huron and Erie through the forest country and founded the city of Guelph in Upper Canada (now Ontario) in 1827. His position with the Canada Land Company was undermined by enemies, and he returned home practically a ruined man. All his life he had been a voluminous writer, and he now devoted himself entirely to literature.

His masterpieces are The Ayrshire Legatees (1820), The Annals of the Parish (1821), Sir Andrew Wylie (1822), The Provost (1822), The Entail (1823), and Lawrie Todd (1830), novels of Scottish rural life that foreshadowed the Kailyard (kitchen garden) school of fiction of the late 19th century. The Ayrshire Legatees tells, in the form of letters to their friends in Scotland, the adventures of the Rev. Pringle and his family in London. The Annals of the Parish, told by the Rev. Micah Balwhidder, Galt’s finest character, is a humorous and truthful picture of the old-fashioned Scottish pastor and the life of a country parish. And in the novel Lawrie Todd the hard life of a Canadian settler is depicted with imaginative power.

where's Waldo?
