"lunch treat" indeed!
Posted by: punky brewster | September 29, 2004 at 11:15 AM
it is unclear why the kitchen staff didn't notice
Maybe they had treated themselves a bit too much.
Posted by: MOTW | September 29, 2004 at 11:16 AM
It's a great quote and all, but i'm supposed to believe that a third-grader said, "Something really fun and illegal happened today at school"?
Posted by: cuzn ed | September 29, 2004 at 11:20 AM
I remember when I was in elementary a similar harmless mishap occurred. We had to go in for vaccinations, and the school nurse, not realizing she has some leftovers from the faculty Christmas bash, accidentally gave 178 students straight Columbian heroin. It was scary at first, what with the room spinning and those new, "special" feelings the students had for each other, but when "you've got cooties" took on psychadelic new meanings, we all had a good laugh over it.

Really, you could just consider it a college preparation course....
My first post EVER. I'm so proud...

Apparently this school specializes in the precise use of language.
"We regret to inform you that your child may have been exposed to alcohol at lunch today."
"May have been?"
"Yes."
"Exposed? How. You pulled his pants down in front of a bottle of Jack Daniels, again?"
"Erm. No. We served the children tequila, but told them it was limeade."
"I see. So instead of 'may have been exposed' what you really mean is 'tried to get them drunk'."
"No. We didn't serve them that much, and anyways most of them didn't like it."
"Ok. Now tell me about the afternoon coke-snorting-relay."
"Oh, yeah, the children may have been exposed to high quality cocaine, as well as a baboon punting contest."
"May have? I suppose you're going to tell me they didn't like the coke, either?"
"Fine. They loved it. They also liked kicking the baboon, ok?"
"So why did Jimmy get detention, then?"
"He wouldn't tuck in his shirt."

Why thanks, djtonyb! Haven't been blurking too terribly long, no. And now, I feel like I can waste time at work even more productively than before...

I predict that in approximately two days at least half of the staff are going to be twitching like a junkie in detox...

Kid 1: This limeade tastes funny!
Kid 2: Hey! It smells like mommy and daddy before they wrestle!

coke-snorting-relay..
Thank you Christobol. My new keyboard lasted 2 whole days before I christened it with spewed coffee. Someday I'll remember not to read and drink at the same time.

"Dear Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Parents:
"It is with great regret that I tell you that your children may or may not have burned down the school gymnasium after they may have been exposed to a keg stand relay and smack shoot-a-thon fundraiser to benefit SCORES. But we are happy to report that the cover band was superb and the baboons have, for the most part, been recovered."

Dear Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Parents:
It is with great regret that I tell you that your child may have been exposed to a meat like substance today at lunch.
I am embarrassed and deeply sorry that this happened. We strive to provide your children only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
We also use the choicest juicy chunks of fresh Cornish ram's bladder, emptied, steamed, flavoured with sesame seeds, whipped into a fondue and garnished with lark's vomit.
Please forgive us.

Just yesterday, Dave was worried about the future of this once-great nation's beer consumption, and now we have this heartwarming story of youngsters banding together to refocus our great American alcohol consumption. I'm thinking, instead of Orange Juice for snacktime; Screwdrivers!!
Posted by: Federal Duck | September 29, 2004 at 12:00 PM
Ah but does each lunch tray bear a large red sticker with the words WARNING: LARKS' VOMIT?

I'll bet the parents are thankful that the faculty and board ate all brownies.
"We regret to inform you that your child may have snarfed some awesome brownies. While longterm chronic ingestion of brownies may affect Lil' Justin's mental accuity and motivation, recreational ingestion of brownies really improves grades in Art class."

. . . the school, with 240 students from kindergarten through eighth grade who pay tuition from $14,200 to $15,600 . . .
At those prices there damn well better be an open bar at lunch.

Posted by: Miriam | September 29, 2004 at 12:50 PM
With deepest regrets, dear parents, I say
and I hope that you'll take this the right way
if your child staggers and falls during play
could be the tequila we served today
'Twas no harm to your child we intended
And we do not think he got all that drunk
Although from the flag pole he descended
After storing his clothes inside a trunk
Henceforward it is no longer allowed
To raise school funds by stag party hosting
And from now on when we get students plowed
We'll suspend naked marshmallow roasting
I'll apologize ad infinitum
But I'm keeping the two-drink mimimum
Posted by: Christobol | September 29, 2004 at 12:52 PM

Posted by: Miriam | September 29, 2004 at 12:55 PM
The dancer's names are what gets me:
Each is called by name and performs his own solo dance. There’s Cow’s Tail, Sooty Anus, Black Buttocks, Sweet Phallus, Penis, Rusty Anus, and Big Testicles.
Do they do have dancers names like this in any of your requented bars DJT?

For sake of clarity,
"why didn't this ever happen to me?" referred to spiking the kindergarten punch.
However, bondage is an interesting alternative.

Dear Principal Skinner:
This is absolutely not possible. No self-respecting school would serve such a menu to any of their students. Where would you even get such an idea? Sesame seeds are potential allergens.
Dear The Rest of You:
I, as a long-time reader, first-time poster, love your comments, had several wonderful and interesting things to say. But I stopped reading after the 'newbies tied up in the corner and beaten' bit and lost my train of thought. Is there anything else I need to know, before I hit the Post Button?

LOL, Lairbo.
Since I'm so LTTG I won't even try as you guys have come up with some great ones.

ODE TO NEWBIES (tune of the Jet Song, West Side Story)
When you jump on this blog you're a Lit all the way
With every first post, we lead Lurkers astray
Here on this post, we all follow Dave's rule
The women make sex jokes the fellows all drool
The bloglits are here!
And our keyboards are a'clickin!
Hold still too long, your bound to get some lickens,
or meet subservient chickens!
Sometimes we're unclear, and sometimes we're not so funny
But we're simpatico, we all think Boogers! is funny
Here on this blog we lampoon freely and we're worldwide
Some are so sweet, and some us are so snide
When your a Lit, you stay a Liiiiiiit!!
Posted by: jamester | September 29, 2004 at 03:23 PM
i cry to think about how many young alcoholics this liitle incident is sure to turn out, not to mention toddler pregnancies and car wrecks. i think it's time we banned alcohol accidents involving toddlers. matter of fact we need to ban accidents.

*hands crash, Dave B(ickle) and any other de-blurkers their official welcome kits of grass skirt, coconut bra and Moatarita*
Splendid - although I suppose on this post, you could go back to elementary and get your own moatarita...
They should have waited until parent-teacher conferences to serve up the alcohol...

Posted by: MeganBNL | September 29, 2004 at 04:05 PM
In a similar vein...well maybe not, but I'm telling it anyway.
When my daughter was in middle school, she and 13 other kids got busted for snorting......"lickem aide"...I can't spell it, but it's that sugary fruity stuff in the straws.
The principal called me to request a meeting to discuss her snorting lickem aide.
"She was what?"
"Snorting lickemaide"
"That's a candy, right"
"Yes, but we're considering suspending her."
"I'll be right there."
Her dad and I were there within an hour and we were advised that the school had the authority to suspend her for 90 days, but this time were going to let her off with a warning. Again, I asked, "It's candy, right?" They explained that she was imitating an illegal act.
It seems one of them had seen a movie the night before and someone was snorting coke...another kid had brought in the lickem aide as treats to share and the kid who saw the show said "Hey, let's try this..."
I'm happy to report that she successfully completed rehab.

Posted by: Kat | September 29, 2004 at 08:29 PM
for the record.. I never lurked anywhere either.. couldn't keep my big ol' mouth shut that long!!
The following is a true story (and the short version). Years ago I was babysitting a couple of little boys (3 & 2)who had to sleep in their parents' room while theirs was being re-papered. Nobody told me and I never noticed the bottle of scotch that the mother was keeping in the bedroom (ostensibly to keep it away from the kids, but she forgot it was there too). Well, the boys got out of bed, found the scotch, tried it, decided they didn't like the flavour, so added half a bottle of mouthwash and drank that instead. When I went to check on them, they were out like lights and snoring loud and long!! I never saw the bottle, and I presumed they'd gone to sleep as per normal, and the mouthwash masked any alcohol smell. Fortunately the parents were quite understanding - they figured out what had happened quite quickly - and I babysat for them for a few years after the incident with no further problems... well nothing that bad anyway
Posted by: Kat | September 29, 2004 at 08:38 PM
Well at least you didn't purposely drug them like some schools...
Posted by: crash | September 29, 2004 at 08:59 PM
Funny how the kids hate it...
Maybe the best way to prevent alcoholism is counterintuitive -- give it to 'em while they're young.
Hey, at least it'll be a fun experiment if it doesn't work!
