Not news, but...

Homecoming was last week for our school.  In the US, each class (9th, 10th, 11th, 12th grades) elects a pair of students to the homecoming court.  The two seniors who win are homecoming king and queen.  Juniors are prince and princess.

You what they had 10th graders vote for?

Dutch and Dutchess.  Pinch

The person running this is a history teacher, by the way.

What did the winners get instead of sashes?  Wooden shoes?  Ermm

I think the Dutch language sounds hideous. Sorry Dutch friends!

I'm sure you did, Mr. Braggery-Brag! But some of us don't have a wife yet and would like her to be tall.

Aside from PA, this is probably the largest gathering of nerds and virgins ever in recorded history.

Absolutely devastating! Romney is sure to win now!

I say nothing is nothing

Trump is an idiot.  If I were leading Romney's campaign, I think I'd have to have him killed just to shut his mouth.

"Idiot" is thrown around an awful lot.  I've heard that word applied to so many people just today.

Donald Trump is not an idiot.  He's egotistical and likes attention.  Doesn't make him stupid.  Just an ass.

one would assume Trump could not be an idiot considering his success, which makes it that much more astounding that he is so idiotic

Well, what I really wanted to say about Trump would get me kicked off the site, so I went with "idiot", but "ass" will do.  Although I'd add another syllable after it.  Wink

Anyone who does idiotic things can be called an idiot - when we get picky about name-calling it takes all the fun out of it. As far as I know membership of the idiot club isn't exclusive invite-only.
What?

We're all idiots then?  Wink

When you stop getting picky about name-calling, it takes the fun out of it and makes us all that much lazier.

I think we're all just jealous that he didn't offer a tenth of that much to us for our educational records.
