Actual crazy trivia about A Christmas Story. My priest told that story as a homily around Christmas all the time and said the writer of that movie heard him and made a movie about it.
Yeah I think it's actually true. You can even see the movie takes place in the same place he grew up. He also melted down his mothers ring into the shape of a cross and had it affixed to his chalice because of it.
Also he was not the type of person to make things like that up.
Recess sports loom large in my elementary school memories. Teatherball yeah, foursquare yeah. Kickball - baseball gateway drug. Caroms! There was a golf version and I could ace every shot. Oh handball, that was big. But dodgeball was top because you were allowed to hit someone. Dodgeball supersized to the whole gym in middle school.
I come from the Military, there's an entire language we can speak in acronyms and there's an art to creating your own. Oh, and we always raised hell.
Tech is acronym heaven (hell?) I suspect most industries have their own lingo. My brother in law is an ER doc and OMG
Lol. It's FUBAR trying to get SA on the CONOP when you PCS to a new TRADOC post to change MOSs. All the Acronyms are different.
This was good, NGL.
But why would they tell you to "Grill a Funion This Summer?"
I don't get you, SMH.
Dude, if you ever decide you really do want to Smash Meatball Hoagies, I'm your dude. I made them at the first 2 restaurant jobs I had!
Roasted Onion Flamed Lizards.
Writhing Testicles Function, Like Only Lasagna!
There’s a cringe lifespan to these that’s hard to gauge. I’ve been sternly warned by my kid to never use/or say NGL again. NGL FR
OMG, LOL. I am probably walking on a rake every single day with my stupid leftovers!
ROFLCOPTER!!!
Was that a high school thing? I legit kinda remember "ROFL" from back then, but then again, maybe that's inception.
I haven't seen ROFLCOPTER in forever. I feel like ROFLCOPTER was a thread ending joke like:
looooooooooooooooool!
LMFAO!
ROFL!
ROFLCOPTER!!!!!!!
It was like the triple dog dare from "A Christmas Story." If you went there, it was go-time.
Actual crazy trivia about A Christmas Story. My priest told that story as a homily around Christmas all the time and said the writer of that movie heard him and made a movie about it.
Think there's any truth to it?
Yeah I think it's actually true. You can even see the movie takes place in the same place he grew up. He also melted down his mothers ring into the shape of a cross and had it affixed to his chalice because of it.

I only recently discovered an old usable abbreviation: PDQ (Pretty Damn Quick). Which I assume is the Trump administration's motto...
And then there's Michael Jackson's '80s classic from "Thriller": "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)"...
Oh yes. The latter also took on a much more ominous connotation after MJ's passing.
There was another MJ-related abbreviation: BAD (Best At Dancing). I guess we kids weren't really all that great at abbreviations.
I've literally never heard of this. In my day we used "don't party too hard this summer!" like TRUE HARDCORE SEVENTH GRADERS.
Well, we raised hell instead of merely partying hard, so there.
Hell is raised without effort on my part. For most people that means the world is not as they desire it to be…

I'm going to write about dodgeball pretty soon. It was a big deal for me during this time.
