A Too Cool for School button will really make those college softball recruiters sit up and take notice.

Sports Illustrated would surely feature them in Faces In The Crowd if they were the first couple to get TC badges.

P1, I think we can all agree that this story isn’t cool. Can we move on to Milford CC now?

P2, This stupidity is making me mad.

P3, Stop whining! Do you want one of those stupid medals or a chest to pin it on?

In all reality , David says Look getting attention for softball is going to happen but maybe if you run the bases running backwards and do summer salts going into home ,you"ll get lots of attention . Just remember you’re my HT = Hot Tamale ! XXXXOOÒ

Thus, the rebellion is born…

“Next time I get a double play ball, I guess I will have to rocket the relay off her face.”

I hope Barry Bader gets one!

Double play partner mad at you? No matter, I think 2 of Tinkers to Evers to Chance didn’t speak to each other for a season.

Nancy and Molly, being true demographic C-store consumers, raid the aisles at Swifti-Mart. I shudder to think what a serving of Blasto can do with a hot dog that’s been on the roller since 9 a.m..

P3:….and there they are all right, swilling milkshakes to go with Linda’s whine, although the BF couldn’t care less about her issues or the asinine little button club

P2 – I like how Rubham answers the question from P1. “She’s mad at us, the writers!”

I guess this insipid storyline is what we get with no defined antagonist. ( Marty, Robbie, Wildcat etc.)

And thus the snobbery about who is “too cool” begins to fray.

P3 would have been much more interesting if fast consumption of “Blasto” resulted in a temporary but painful reduction of blood to the head.

While she’s at the Blasto machine, her boyfriend has a steady diet of Mr. Softie

Trade “Tool Cool” for “Sweet Potato Queens” and you capsulize the social climbers in the deep South.

P1: she’s shoplifting, like a lot of the so-called cool girls did when I was in HS

And why do they need those badges. We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!

I suppose they’re headed to the University of Wisconsin for college, since both of them already are, well, badge-rs.

…it’s like we are back at Riverdale High…

let’s get some real modern conflict, drug abuse, school shooting, teacher-student affair ,something except this pablum!

Alternatively, we can look to Milford CC for the same things, R & W, time to spark this up!
