Did Playboy mags have pictures?!!!

Very quiet on this board so must report the news from western Colorado: 

A woman is suing the local school board because they won't let her 5th grade son wear his pajamas to school. No report on whether said jammies had bunny footsies or not (pink or otherwise).

Believe it or not, the board is considering revising the existing dress code.

57Johnnie,

A man in a neighboring town is suing his local school district because his high school son committed suicide -- not at school, but at home. Of course we are aware that the schools are responsible for bringing up everyone's children these days, but this takes it to a new level. I can understand that the father is grieving and wants to place blame somewhere, but geez. We have become such a litigious society and the schools are too often the victims of that.
My two cents only.

The day the woman sued McDonald's because she spilled hot coffee on her lap while driving and won may very well have been the end of common sense in the coutrroom as we know it.

You could change that, KR ... though not in medical school.

KR: Arguably it happened in 1916 with McPherson v. Buick Motor Car Co.

[Johnnie Red]

KR, I hope it is alright that I am planning to be at the Talladega NASCAR event at the end of April with one of my brothers. Sounds like it is a great social event.

Speaking of the social calendar, keep Saturday, February 3 on your agenda. Annual wild game feed at the Lakeside Ballroom in Waconia. All the raccoon you could ever want to eat.

I hear that they have one in Block E across from Target Center now.  Anyone been?

Haven't been.  Also, St. Cloud is home to a brand new Hooters.  I believe it is in the location of the old Embers (maybe someone more local can confirm).  Gives those SCSU gals a place to work.

KR- If you knew all the facts of this unfortunate case, I know you would think differently. I won't bore this board with it all, but I'd be happy to enlighten you. I speak to HS classes frequently and we discuss this case. Before we begin, most in the class have a reaction similar to yours. Once they know what really happened and the actual facts of the case, almost all feel differently.
Beware the propoganda boogie-man.

You are correct Duffman. Hooters is now at 33rd and Division, the old Ember's. I heard they have good wings.

[janesvilleflash]

I'm not saying it. Maybe at 60 I'm finally growing up?

You had me at raccoon. And here I got all excited when I had another excuse to be in Waconia on the 3rd. Dance team sections surely doesn't get me too excited.

You had to love the fact that this was Front-Page news for the sctimes online.

Most random hooters I have ever seen, though, has to be in Aruba.  Driving to the hotel past all sorts of little shops and restraunts....then Hooters.  Pretty funny.

I don't know all the facts like Fins, but what always struck me about that case was that a JURY decided liability and damages. What does that say about the average juror? Or is it that we attorneys are able to cast a spell on an otherwise reasonable person?

[janesvilleflash]

First you get Brez's kid going to the Gophers, now the UW Oshkosh coach going there to coach the O line. Someone should start marketing cheese gopher heads.

+k ZIP - The talking heads always claim that you can indict a ham sandwich. Do you think JR has done that very often? 

[tmerton]

Where's Anna, er, BDB? 

[Johnnie Red]

Now why would I ever want to indict a ham sandwich? Someone in the pork industry would come after me and start slamming the Stiftungsfest burgers. I could never allow that to happen.

Piperinsider, you are actually going to be in Waconia on February 3? Let me know and we could hook up. I could make an appearance at the dance team sections on behalf of the MSHSL. I know you would enjoy the wild game feed. Little pricey - $40.00 a person. Hopefully your newspaper could pick up the tab.
