Confessions

I'm a teacher and I don't recite the pledge of allegiance before my students.

My little dog Cooper is named after the tire. He was recuperating after being hit by a car when I took him home for the first time. It was the second time he had been hit by a car in less than two years. My son wanted to name him Goodyear but I thought that was too obvious. So I came up with the name Cooper.

His original name was Pooch. He's a cute little JRT, he needed a cuter name.

From another thread:

just spoke with a man who was born in northern England in 1928. Interesting to hear him speak about WWII and how his country decided they would not be defeated. He was 11 when it started and even then he and his friends were ready to fight an invading force. He did not have nice things to say about ISIS.

What a contrast to the Thais. When I worked in Thailand, my office was next to an ex-royal palace. The Vimanmek Mansion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It was the King's palace. A beautiful mansion, the largest teak wood palace in the world.

Part of my job was to take our universities foreign guests on tourers of the palace. On the tour, the Thais showed a part of the palace that was bombed during WWII. The damage was left in its original condition, not restored. The Thais acted like America bombed them for no reason, as if they were innocent. They refused to accept that they were conquered and ruled by the Japanese during the war. The Thais claimed that they were never colonized, that they were never ruled by a foreign power. I helped perpetrate that lie. Every single time I took one of our guests on a tour of the Vimanmek Mansion I felt dirty, like I was perpetrating the lie of Thai innocence during the war. To this day I feel bad about it. I tried my best to make our guests realize the truth, but there was only so much I could do without falling out of favor of my employer. I hope that the foreigners I took to the palace understand Thailand's cooperation with the Japanese. If they don't it is my fault for not being more upfront.

This is the first time that I've posted or told anyone of this. To this day it haunts me for not being more direct. I only hope that those directly affected by the war can forgive me, for my defense to foreigners of Thailand was morally wrong.

I'm going to a Barry Manilow concert in June, and I will most likely enjoy it.

I'm going to the March 1 st Barry concert. I have seen him before many years ago. I expect to enjoy the concert too.

I often dream of buying the company I work for, tearing it down, and making a parking lot. Then i want to hire the Owners son/manger to sweep it for me. Come on powerball!

I make model airplanes but not that good at it.

I was hot for girls in high school but didn't know how to do anything about it.

When I out out of the Army I had no idea what I would do with myself.

If, if... they don't give you back your stapler, are you going to burn the building down?


Bananas break longitudinally into three segments. Some people know that, but I had to find it out myself. Now you know. Neener neener.

I have some first nations blood, but I couldn't tell you what tribe. You could see it in my grandmother and my father. Can't really see it in me, but I have hair at 50 that most white people don't at 30. This isn't so much a confession.

Put me up against DSM4, I have symptoms sufficient to diagnose psychopathy, sociopathy, autism spectrum, ADD, borderline personality (thanks, first wife) and probably several others. A trickcyclist would probably put me in a room with thick, soft wallpaper and a nice young man in a clean white coat to come around every day to give me thorazine, yet here I walk the streets. I'm kind of skeptical of DSM4. DSM5 is an abortion.

My genetic material, aside from the first nations part, comes from Europe, but I'm not European-American. I was not born in Europe, nor have I ever been there. The only legitimate "African-Americans" I've ever known were at least as white as me; one was like the second whitest girl I'd ever met, only behind one that was almost an albino. I refuse to be ashamed of my whiteness.

I would have been honored to teach the Rhodesian girl a thing or two, as uptight as she was, and probably given a kidney to have had a decent shot at the one that was almost an albino. I do like pale skin and towhead blondes. I like other things as well, though Once again, not so much a confession.

Interestingly, I have met an albino black chick. She did not impress me with her behavior. I wasn't going to be the one to slap some sense into her, though. Maybe I should have stepped up. She betrayed her husband, and father of their lovely child, who unselfishly sacrificed to provide them with a good home and a stable life. That just grinds my gears but I was too nice to say anything to her. I do think a confession is in order there.

I was maybe 8, outside of school on lunch break. I was in a luncheonette. Showing off to a girl, I put a comic book under my coat. She alerted the owner. I ran. Dumped the comic as the guy ran after me. I was really scared. When I headed back to school I saw the owner standing at the gate. I turned my coat inside out, kept my head down and passed through. Don't know what I was thinking. Had never done anything like that before or since. I guess a guy will do anything to impress a girl. She's buried in my back yard......OK I made that last part up.

WE ARE INGO
There's a book here.
This thread should go viral.

"Forgive me Churchmouse for I have sinned...." sounds wrong. You're right.

To all who have posted here, I forgive you. There ya go CM.

Before I go to the dentist, I scale my teeth. Just the front ones.

Going by the avatar, that should be a good one.

I once dropped a box of Rit in the washer with a white teddy bear just to watch him dye.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread.
I love my Harley but wish I had a bigger one.
I can't hardly wait for the International Black Powder Championships!
