this is an I.B. Special
SUX TO BE YOU REPORT
When I was in the fourth grade I laughed at a kid who tripped in the lunch line.
My teacher decided to make an example out of me and I had to write on the blackboard 500 times
” I will not laugh at the misfortune of others. “
I learned my lesson….and I ignored Darren ( who I blamed for the ‘blackboard incident ) until one day he and his Mom show up at my front door and Darren is all emotional and hurt because
” Anita won’t talk to me anymore and I don’t know why “
Over 30 years later and I still have to pay attention to Darren.
But that’s another story.
Today I laughed at the misfortune of another person…and I laughed so much I’ll be standing at that blackboard until the Flying Monkeys come home….
go on read this true story and you’ll see why.
The owner of the Psychic Experiences shop says she had a feeling something bad was about to happen to the signs outside her store. Monday night, an arsonist set fire to signs that said “Tarot card reading — $20” and “Open.”
Police said they have no suspects. Evans said she doesn’t, either.
i will not laugh at the misfortunes of others…
but this time I think I will
Sorry Mr Olson- you Blackboard Fascist
Irregular Bones 
i tried to contact that woman to give her my condolences…
(she picked up the phone) “Psychic Experience…How can I help you?”
I just hung up, ‘cause if she doesn’t know THAT, how can she ever protect the lives of her future signs.
Now that’s funny– a psychic who can’t see who did the crime.
Anyway, I FINALLY now get the Old Spice/Bruce Campbell connection. I saw one his commercials yesterday. LOL! And here I thought it was some inside joke……….

Hi Charlie,
You should see the grief I got for making up a story about a Fortune Teller, I’m sort of excited to see what they do to me next…
Hey L!
I liked that picture because Bruce looks like a teacher I had- in fact some of my friends thought it WAS him…so yeah it was an inside joke-sort of.
When my friend Cameo ( yesyesyes that’s her real name ) asked me where I got the picture of Mr Racimo I just let it go.
My friends are a bunch of gullible nerds ( HI GUYS!!!! )
I’m not into fortune-telling myself. First, I think most of it’s a scam. Secondly, if something bad is coming, I don’t want to know and if something good is coming, I want to be surprised.
So, what happens now, AM? Is it my turn to get flamed by some of your readers?

Dunno L…know anyone with a Crystal Ball who can check into that for us????

Hey Lori!
You were reader 4000, the Slushie is on me!
Cool. FedEx it to me. I like rippling muscle men too!
I’m with Lori on the fortune telling stuff – but what a funny story! By the way, when I was in third grade, I was the kid causing the misfortune. I bit the girl who cut in front of me in the bathroom line. And yeah, she tattled. Wouldn’t you know. I didn’t get lines on the chalkboard, but I sure did get in trouble!
I’ll have to say, I wasn’t alone at the old blackboard – most of the time I had company.
