Me while the rest of the household went to the movies today. I lost track oh how nights of Hades II I played. It was A Lot.

And, now you know a dirty joke that was told by Bill Clinton, so that’s fun.

There may have been a fifth thing, but if so I can’t remember it.

That’s probably my most entertaining bit of family lore.

What are the four worst things about being an egg?

You only get laid once. You come in a box with eleven others just like you. Only your mother will sit on your face. When you’re old, it takes you ten minutes to get hard.

The other story is actually that he told my mom the dirtiest joke she ever heard (and she shared it gleefully; it was a kind of big deal to me when I was old enough to hear it).

The other replied promptly, “I like it. Now all she needs is whips and chains.”

And Bill Clinton added, “And leather, don’t forget the leather.”

- I find myself wondering now if he was trying to set them up. How often does a guy ask another guy what he thinks of a woman’s new haircut? Huh.

A bit later (sorry, I don’t remember the specifics of this part of the story, and mom’s 12 years dead, so I can’t ask her), she saw him again at a later event with another member of his staff.

Bill asks how this other member of the staff likes my new haircut-

And when Mr. Governor saw it, he said (please imagine this is n his voice), “I like it. Now all you need is whips and chains and leather.”

When I was in first grade, my mom got her hair cut extremely short. Rosemary’s baby short, but because of the way her hair grew it went straight back from her forehead with the tiniest hint of poof at the front. Very trendy at the time.

Also, she never said a bad thing about him. These are stories of two people with a raunchy sense of humor. Bill Clinton did *not* harass my mother. With that out of the way, I will tell you the haircut story.

Let me start over, in the course of her work, she often interviewed Bill Clinton, and she was on a first name basis with him. And I’m going to start with saying that my mom had been hippie and was still very chill about sex. She had a dirty sense of humor.

In the course of her work as a reporter . . . I want to stress hear that my mom was an old school reporter. Media ethics, asking hard questions, string feelings about neutrality.

From about August of 1988 to December of 1990, my Mom and I lived in North Little Rock. I attended Booker Arts Magnet School, and my mom worked for KARN.

Does it mean eliminating it from Thanksgiving dinner or from eating ever again? Because I will never miss Mac and cheese on Thanksgiving. Everything else is already so filling.

Imagine if I opened up to a classroom scene in That Series and treated it as if I were part of an admin team evaluating the various professors with Marzano.

A large chunk of the subgenre is populated by teachers who clearly never had to write an actual lesson plan or have yearly evaluations, and it shows.
