[kj] Timewave, November Novelty

[The Exorcist]

To the Esteemed Mr. Arse:
You're still a saint compared to my dad!

It sorta scares the shit out of me how all these schools and educators
are trying to eliminate competitive sports and even go the extremes of
banning tag, and LEGO... yes even LEGO.

George Carlin (rip), on his last HBO stand up went on about this.

"Grade school, where he won't be allowed to play tag because it 
promotes victimization... Standing around is still permitted, but it 
won't be for long. because sooner or later some kid is gonna be 
standing around, and his foot will fall asleep, and his parents will 
sue the school, and it's fucking good-bye fucking standing around." 
-George Carlin

"You know what they tell the kid who lost these days? 'You were the 
last winner.' A lot of kinds never get to hear the truth about 
themselves until they're in their twenties, when their boss calls 
them in and says, Bobby, clean the shit out of your desk and get the 
fuck out of here, you're a loser."-George Carlin
