Yes, I thought that was a little odd, too.
I had to look back to see what was hideous.
What did you dislike about their clothing? The suits were maybe a little too dark and the ties too garish, but other than that, not too bad, I'd say. The socks the taller boy had on at first were pretty atrocious, though.I made that comment early on in the reel, when I saw the disgusting v neck sweater and the tie made for a munchkin.donnie wrote: ↑Thu Apr 10, 2025 8:48 pmI had to look back to see what was hideous.
). But when it comes to things like a child doing a formal introduction of two adults and skillfully giving them a conversation starter, that seems awfully unrealistic. Agree or disagree? I mean, he was just hungry, after all. But three pints of oysters? Yep, that’s a little much, Henry. This advice is very true, however. I notice there's a big difference in my temptations to buy based on how hungry I am. (The "new vegetable," by the way, is a rutabaga. I eat them regularly, both raw in salads and sometimes microwaved.) You're definitely not being too sensitive. Mistreatment of animals, especially in a school setting where children are supposed to learn the basics of life is never ok. There are times when research is needed (and to a point) but in a school setting, absolutely not.
All of that would, even then, be packed with sugar, too. And I did not catch the 4 glasses of milk thing. Yikes! I do kind of agree with having an egg a day, though I don't do that usually.
I thought it interesting that they kept saying enriched margarine, enriched bread. I guess that means a bunch of vitamins are added?
You'll be shocked to find out that Kroger has been around since 1883. I'd love to see one of their ads from that time!
He was saying something about using it in their locker room. If you watch when the narrator is talking over them (when their dialogue goes silent) the one kid is making the motions as if he was planning on throwing it in someone's face! That's no innocent prank, it's a pretty scary plan. Anyway, wouldn't the best way to get even be to WIN the game??
The only way it would make sense would be if both schools were in the room and both cheerleading teams were performing on stage. But I don't think that's the case here.donnie wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 9:29 pmI also thought it was surprising (and unrealistic?) for the students to be led in a cheer for the opposing team—particularly considering how bitter of a rivalry it was. I can’t imagine that would have gone over too well in real life—or maybe it would at that time?
I agree, but it was probably part of a semester's curriculum, and most likely had an exam of sorts at the end. Remember, Penrod had to go through this very thing. They should just be glad they don't have to go to a dance and get dates for it or anything, like he did.
Absolutely. It's awkward for some adults to do that, now imagine you are 3 feet tall and have to introduce two grown men and also give a topic of interest, as if people can't do that on their own. I personally hate introductions. They're always awkward whether I'm doing them or someone else is introducing me.
Yes. Today they would have charges filed against them.
I'd forgotten that. That was so funny.
What was the young girl he ended up going with? Baby something.Me too!
In the case of bread, it's white bread with B vitamins, etc., added. In other words, they strip all the nutrients out of the whole grain wheat kernel, leaving only the germ—and then they try to put some of the nutrients back in (but not the healthful fiber or phytonutrients whole grains have).
Do you think that's ethical in a school classroom, or am I being too sensitive?
