I can't wait until kids have to start talking about Boehner in class.

:rofl:

I wish I could be there when one of them mistakenly calls him boner. :rofl:

[polichick]

1. Or not so mistakenly. nt

[originalpckelly]

3. "I promise Ms. Clarkson, I thought it was boner."

"I mean, how the hell do you get BAINER from b o e h n e r? There's not even an A in there." :-)

[polichick]

6. LOL

[demodonkey]

2. Far as I'm concerned, that's his name.... Bawlin' Boner! nt

4. This isn't 1972. It's OK for a man to cry.

Or at least it should be.

7. + 1

11. especially when he is drunk and on the teevee.

I wish he had puked on himself.

15. But if Nancy Pelosi bawled like Boner, she'd be crucified as a hysterical woman.

I am tired of the vile, hate-filled crap our first woman to be Speaker had to put up with; and a lot of it would never have happened if she was a man.

No, it isn't 1972 and these double standards need to go.

5. The kids will have fun with it,they always do. Years ago there was

a girl in my class whose last name was Hoar. It was brutal.

8. We had one name Hinebaugh and another name Tinklepaugh. n/t

[virgogal]

10. Oh,man ! eom

[Sonoman]

12. We had a Dutch guy named Pieter Berger.

Cool guy, too. He loved to introduce himself to chicks as "Peterburger".

9. Oh god...the ultimate kid horror....

having a name the other kids can make fun of...



The kids had a pretty good time with mine. You know that song "Happy Wanderer"?

"Val-da-ree!! Val-da-rah!! Val-da-ree! Val-da-rah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!"

I heard it all the time. I hated it.


To make matters worse, my last name started with a "D"

so the older kids made fun of that, comparing me to a sexually transmitted disease (VD).

I'm just glad I didn't grow up with my present married name. I know what they'd turn that into... :scared:

[virgogal]

13. Kids can be so mean to eachother. Glad you survived,sense of humor intact.

[Donnachaidh]

14. my son does it all the time now

and he laughed himself sick when I showed him a foster brooks video and asked if he saw a resemblance :rofl:

[HopeHoops]

16. That's not a mistake - that's ALL I ever call him. I bet teachers are dreading this.

Reminds me of the time when my 8th grade band teacher stopped the band and yelled at one of the drummers, "Jordan, you're a beat off". We all lost it, including the director when he realized what he had just said.
