The hem had to reach the floor when got down on our knees. What a sick skirt-length-checking system that was!MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412656596874731198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-31950046641936303052007-06-17T04:08:00.000-04:002007-06-17T04:08:00.000-04:00A great telling of a tale that was repeated in eve...A great telling of a tale that was repeated in every school across the land. What a curious social phenomenon. Of course, I was in Boston, where things were banned weekly. I always get a kick telling younger people (it seems like yesterday) that you would be sent home from school if you wore jeans, and if a girl wore slacks at all. This brought on the battle of the shorter skirts with the various lines drawn on the thigh. And the Beatles brought on suspensions due to long hair (a length we wouldn't even notice today). In public schools, no less!<BR/><BR/>In the end we won those battles, but I am not sure that we didn't lose sight of something else. I scare myself with my consideration of the return of school uniforms.Peter (the other)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13566863953900423495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-45981544191393072952007-06-15T09:57:00.000-04:002007-06-15T09:57:00.000-04:00Nothing's dirty about the real Louie Louie lyrics....Nothing's dirty about the real Louie Louie lyrics. But because the words were hard to understand, somehow a naughty version of the lyrics went mainstream. I think the Snopes link prints the dirty words, if you care to find out for yourself.<BR/><BR/>And oh, the bad Rod Stewart!

So he DID make calls . I had a copy of "Doug Clark & the Hot Nuts" taken away when I was doing time at military school. My roomate had it blaring all over the campus when the commandants wife walked by our window and hears "The Big Friggin Wheel" come out of our dorm room. I served confinement for two weekends , but everyone else enjoyed it.. I was glad to serve my fellow classmates , and is still a topic over drinks at reunions. I was presented a "bootleg" copy at a recent get together from the commadants son who told me that his dad wore the record out playing it , and had many hours of fun with other faculty members. Glad to serve my fellow man!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
