The Great SYM Summer Barbecue

[QUOTE=Yshania]My girl "grassed" up my boy last week. She told me she had seen him "kicking some girls" I later find out from both parties (my boy and girl, since my boy never divulges anything until challenged) that the said girls had got my boy's best friend on the ground and were kicking colours out of him. My boy had reacted to protect his friend. I asked him why he hadn't come to us at the time the bullying had originally started (we have only just become aware there is an ongoing issue after this event) and he told me his friend was embarrassed about being hit by girls, and this boy is not a boy to hit anyone back (never mind girls)

My boy has never been picked on himself, since he is generally a low key yet confident person. He has also shown he will not be intimidated verbally, and at his age it seems to be enough so far. His best friend, however, is a different story (sadly). In a warped way, I was proud of my boy for protecting his friend, but still...[/QUOTE]

Sounds like you've got a good kid to me.

[QUOTE=Gwalchmai]Heh! The first thing my youngest said after you left was "when do we get to go to their house and visit them?" And my oldest wanted to know if we could invite your kids back as soon as possible! They really enjoyed the visit and had a great time - baseball bats and all!

With the addition of Ysh's kids, we would have a perfect mixture for a mini-Dark Flame club.

LMAO!

There would be more of a balance between male and female in the Mini-DF!

Sadly, I have to sign out now!

I have an early start tomorrow, sorry to miss you, Gwally! *hug*

Godslayer, thank you! I think so, so far so good!

Take care all, and thanks for the spam!

lol! Well they were just sweet, we all had a wonderful time, and my son also asked when he'd be able to meet you again. As I mentioned to you and Mrs. Gwally, you are welcome to come up any time you are in the Pacific Northwest. Vancouver is only about a 2-3 hour drive from Seattle, and it is a lovely city to visit

btw, any chance you could send me that chicken recipe you made (along with the sauce)?. That was yummy!

EDIT

bye Ysh, it was lovely seeing you

*hugs*

I agree there.

I always found it disturbing witness the biggest people in school tormenting those who kept to themselves and non-violent. In groups against just one person too. I was the quiet smart one that make kids cry when verbally attacked. It caused all sorts of trouble making a bully cry when he started picking on me. They don't bother saying anything, just grab 5 friends to wail on you with.

That takes a lot of bravery to go out of your way as a young man to stick up for someone else in a public situation. That puts him in the spotlight for being targeted next time, yet he stood up for his friend.

And people wonder why kids shoot up schools. I wonder why more don't do it.

Yeah, two or three weeks after Columbine I got attacked, from behind, by a former linebacker. Over the fact he wanted my seat in study hall of all things. He'd tormented me for 3 months over that fact and after being hit from behind into the wall by the kid, I LOST IT. Got up, he was laughing and I told him he was a dead man if he didn't run. He thought it was funny until my friend grabbed me and I tipped him over shaking him off of me. My friend was the lead tackler on the football team and was a big boy. I chased him down, jumping over desks and the teacher walked through the door seeing me chasing him and threatening him. I got expelled from my district altogether for that one.

Never laid a hand on the boy, he got off with 2 day detention for assault and battery.

I wouldn't have killed him, just made it so he had to use crutches for the next semester. You'd think someone twice my size would at least have the courage to hit me when I could see it coming.

Alright, apologies for the monstrous post but I got dragged into a meeting yesterday and missed all the fun. So, albeit a day late, here's my two cents from yesterday's ramblings.

by DW
@BS, yes indeed, I had a great time, you're just lucky we didn't decide to descend on Kentucky instead

No DW, you're lucky you avoided KY. Besides, it's not that close to Texas anyway.

by jopperm2
BS, I thought about you last night when I was in winn-dixie. I saw a fine selection of MD 20/20 and a bottle of Thunderbird for sale. TB is only $4! I've never seen it before last night. Nevermind what I was doing cruising the wino aisle of a trashy-mart.

WOW! Thunderbird, brings back memories or a lack thereof, as it were. Ever jumped on the Nighttrain as long as you're looking for a cheap wino drunk.

by Ysh
No dress is a good dress though.

Amen sister, you look lovely

Perhaps a new addendum to my signature.

by DW
Much of what I saw was straight out of Jeff Foxworthy. My favourite moment was when we passed... a beaten up mobile home, complete with all kinds of trash around it and the obligatory nine rusting cars on the lawn. To top it off in the midst of it all there was a shiny new oil drum and somebody had lovingly stenciled the word "TRASH" on its side, and at the edge of the lawn there was a Statue of Liberty replica holding a Rebal flag I was ROFLMAO!

Did you steal the statue of liberty? If not, could you ask Scayde to go and pilfer it for me. I'm starting a redneck museum here in the upper midwest and such a relic would be a cornerstone.

by Ysh
Ok, so how do I become a hippy/commie poisoned soya munching success, then? and does this new way of life exclude Ned's brew?

No way of life excludes my brew, or if it does, they need a new way of life!

by jopperm2

Also, ned's brew is perfectly acceptable under the red justice of the west IIRC.

True, true but do you really know about the brew. Such things have not come up for a long time around here. I couldn't even say what happened to the stilll. Perhaps we can from a new DF (Drink Finders) and set off on a quest throughout the realm of SYM in search of the still. It was left and forgotten in a thread somewhere. Could make for a grand adventure, maybe we could have a contest in SYM to see if some member could find it. If it's a female, they could win a date with the staff.

by BS
Next time, Ned brings the booze and Gwally brings...well, whatever it is he brings and we get a real party going

Don't give him so many options BS, that's dangerous.

You brew your own stuff Ned?

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 11:19 am

That's a bit'o SYM history, back in the day when taverns ran rampant and everyone was naked.

Oh, so no actual brewing went on then?

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 11:29 am

Well, in between the orgies. Aegis was a tav regular back then too. Heactually had a bear that most of the distilling, and then there were the colored bunnies; but if I recall they were merely a figment of the collective's imagination. I don't know, we all saw them when we drank the stuff. We never figured out how all hallucinated the same thing.

No bunnies for me, pink elephants. Been that way since I was 6.

Sounds like you all had fun back in the day.

Edit: Would these refer to your brew here?

Nice, I think the BToN is where it all started. Jimmy Buffett gets credit for the whole idea.

Wasn't too hard to find, but I was shocked at how many threads had the word "brew" in them.

We were all virtual alcoholics a few years back round here.

Like this one. I think I would have fit in here.

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 12:48 pm

Yeah, that was a good thread. It started before my time in SYM, however, it carried on long enough for me to get involved. I seem to remember dragging fire trucks into that thread along with a corruption of Gwally. Good times.

Fire trucks and corruption eh? I have some reading to do then.

Ned Flanders · Post by **Ned Flanders** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 1:06 pm

I suppose. I don't think you'll find any of that before Halloween of 2001. That's right around I started to migrate a lot into SYM and taverns.

Alrighty, I just find it amusing seeing how certain people are just about exactly the same now as they were then.
