Legend

You want to go where everybody knows your name.

Happens when you name him ‘Sue’ !

Looks like the American version of Denis the menace

Had one like that. They don’t grow out of it…..

During one son’s graduation (in the ‘70s) from high school a big cheer went up as his name was called. I was perplexed because he wasn’t an athlete, didn’t belong to any school clubs, had average grades and no awards. Years later, from one of his friends, I heard the litany of stunts he and a few friends did to “enliven” the school day. Most daring;His friend and him would occasionally motorcycle through the quad with my son in disguise being towed on roller skates by the motorcycle. The ultimate stunt was him garnering school district stationary (girl friend had access), typing out layoff letters to each high school teacher. All letters deposited in the mail room one day. That created havoc for that morning. There were other stunts. Apparently nobody in the school snitched but they knew…….

Kid looks like a cousin of the Addams’ family.

So that’s little Nobobby!

Is he a vampire?

“Fangs for the memories”

Our guidance councilor followed the class. Mr J picked up my older sis, then me, then the younger brother. He said that he would retire after my brother graduated, since 12 years of Miller kids was enough for anyone!

I came out of retirement to take a part time teaching assignment at my old school. I heard from several teachers,“Be glad Parker isn’t here this year” “You’re fortunate Parker didn’t return.” “Be thankful Parker isn’t here.” Then, "Parker may be coming back.’ That’s when I quit.

Making your way in the world today

Takes everything you’ve got;

Taking a break from all your worries

Sure would help a lot.

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

All those nights when you’ve got no lights,

The check is in the mail;

And your little angel

Hung the cat up by it’s tail;

And your third girlfriend didn’t show;

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,

And they’re always glad you came;

You want to be where you can see,

Our troubles are all the same;

You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Roll out of bed, Mr. Cereal head;

The morning’s looking bright;

And your teacher ran off to Europe,

And didn’t even write;

And your daddy wants to be a girl;

Be glad there’s one place in the world

Where everybody knows your name,

And they’re always glad you came;

You want to go where people know,

People are all the same;

You want to go where everybody knows your name.

Where everybody knows your name,

And they’re always glad you came;

Where everybody knows your name,

And they’re always glad you came…

Is it Bram Jr.?

Well at least your not seeing him on the six o’clock news.

Sounds like a candidate for class president…

kid’s a little monster… (maybe even a vampire!)

“Norm!”

Is this kid a vampire?

Started my 5th school year of subbing; by this point I know most of the kids. A few days in I’m standing in front of the room between classes & a lad who liked to see how far he could push (and had, a couple years before, found about – and always stopped short thereafter) walks up behind me with 2 buddies; “Hi, Mr, G!” “What can for you, Mr. (I forget his name right now)?”

At which point the 2 buddies immediately and simultaneously took a large step back, saying “Whoa! Dude, the sub knows your name! That’s not good!”

What’s worse is when the entire school knows his middle name!

The fangs seem appropriate.

And they use his name as an adjective.

They call him ‘Fang’.
