This will date me...but, oh for the simpler times. I lived about two miles from my high school and had a trap line that I checked when walking to school. I carried a .22 rifle, the principal and teachers knew it, I took it to the teachers union (lounge) where they checked it to make sure it wasn't loaded and picked it up there every night to check traps on the way home. No one even thought about this as being abnormal. (sigh) wish it were 1965 again.
In my day we would have had this assignment in a class called Home Economics. Does this subject exist anymore?
Upon first reading of the title, I was thinking this was an article of gastronomic proportions.
When I was a kid we made plaster volcanos. Kinda says something about our culture today, no?
I thought we weren't supposed to post articles from The Onion.
Then you haven't been to Trona, California.
Times have changed. In the midwest area a while back a boy got suspended and arrested for having his bow in his vehicle. He was a memeber of an archery club and had some field pointed arrows in his car so he would not have to go out of his way back home after school to get them for practice.
isn't there a rule against drunk school officials?
This is a real gasser.
Holy frijole!
Home Economics class, perhaps? (Or whatever it's called now)
Was the "concerned citizen" named Barney Fife or Gladys Kravitz?
Then you haven't been to Trona, California
I LIVE in California and I've never even HEARD of Trona, CA?!?!
Oh for simpler times! I graduated in 1977.
Dangerous item. Mix some sharp cheddar and beans and onions for an accelerant, you will have a stomache bomb:)
in one of my spanish classes in high school I earned extra credit for making enough spanish rice for the whole class. additionally, it could have been for a home economics class (now called "consumer sciences" in most places.)
Well put!
It's a lovely spot on the road from Ridgecrest to Death Valley.
