I took the mercury out of a thermostat and totally coated my trumpet. It was
very shiny for a while. I still have that trumpet.

Those were the good old days, i got caught playing with a puddle of mercury
from a broken thermometer on the playground once. The teacher told me i was
going to die and i was stupid. Made me wash my hands. After school i told my
mom, she told me i wasnt going to die, but i was stupid, then we talked about
how cool mercury is to mess with and how she played with it as a kid.
Today, a hazmat crew would have been called in and 10 kids who werent near
it would have had lawsuits against the school.
Was on the playground after school once, the city had just widened the
streets. As i stepped off the grass to the blacktop i heard a crazy loud
cracking, woosh and bang behind me, as i turned around the tree next to the
road had fallen like 10 feet behind me cause the city cut through all the roots
on one side. Of course i went in to investigate. I had just laud down to look
up through the limbs when a teacher came out and saw me laying there. Thought
the tree fell on me and freaked out. When i got up laughing they cussed me out.
Then we had a good laugh.
Today that would have resulted in all the trees getting cut down (it
ultimately did a few years later). The teacher would have been fired for
cursing at me and i would have been forced into ptsd treatment.
When i shot the teacher in the eye with my rubber band gun, i got a sweet
paddlin and my rubber band gun taken away til the end of the day.
Today, i would have been imprisoned, the school would have been on lockdown,
and mothers against guns would have protested until we installed metal
detectors (it was a wooden rubber band gun)
All i can say is wtf, and i feel bad for my kids

That was a different age where it wasn't common to have multiple pending
lawsuits against school districts a week.

When i was in school and we had the partial eclips the teachers told us
to just look kind of by it, but not right at it. We werent helpless dummies.
On another note, anybody wanna go in on buying a boatload of iphones and
whatnot for tuesday when the stores run out because every moron burnt their
cameras up filming it? Markups of 1500 percent will probably be doable wuth
these mopes.
Im assuming this wont be covered under warranty either, its gonna be hawt.

HRM? It's a liability thing.
We had to sign one for ours too.
"blah blah blah, staring into the sun is bad, we accept no risk for
your children's vision, sign here if you are aware of all of this and are still
willing to let your kids go outside or whatever"
