No..maybe NOT winner....maybe I DON'T want to boycott WRNL. They get some good stuff on there...
About the same time she shut Pants down.
They still do physical fitness testing in PE at school. Today was the bent-arm hang (or at least that is what it was called 30+ years ago). 8th grader was happy she beat one of the "jocks" of the class. She said there were ISU students helping out, she thought the girl recording scores was a volleyball player (if the 5th grader was there, she would have known who it was). The girl was impressed with daughter's hang time, was the longest female time recorded so far.
One of older kids still holds the sit and reach record for every grade at our school. I don't think it has anything to do with his flexibility, I think the test doesn't take his abnormally long arms into account.
Woodbury was screwed with this one. The more I think about the events, they screwier some seem. If you have a burton wingspan you barely need to reach whereas Trex has to be flat with the floor and he is still hosed.
Spring, it's official. Put the snowblowers away this afternoon. Rolled the old Boxster out of hibernation and already threshed the old 924S around the neighborhood.
Need to change avatar. Also, damn, winter tires still on the Audi.

I HATED those...
I achieved my full height and matured physically by the end of sixth grade. I was the tallest kid in fifth (5'2") and sixth grades (5'3"), at two different elementary schools. I think we were all shorter then because I doubt those heights would hold sway today.
But I still remember the mothers who were helping with the PFT in my fifth grade year. They were quietly writing down the heights & weights, until they got to me. Then the one writing down weights exclaimed loudly "oh my goodness, you're my FIRST 100 POUNDER!!!". I was 5'2", I weighed about 105. She realized her mistake but it was too late. The other kids in line all were laughing, I was humiliated...and teased incessantly about being "fat" for the rest of the year. One of the other girls in the class came up to me later and told me she was sorry about what happened, but she was grateful that the mom stopped announcing weights because she weighed ten pounds more than me and was several inches shorter. Small comfort.
I now feel bad for Woodbury, poor dude never used toilet paper. He needed one of those Japanese water squirting toilets.
Speaking of @cyrocksmypants did he get banned again, or just busy with tax season?About the same time she shut Pants down.
I was 5-foot tall going into 10th grade and wasn't even at the often mocked 98-pound level (think kid Steve Rogers in Captain America). I grew 9 inches the next two years but everyone at HS reunions still remembers me as being 5-foot tall. I really hated HS.
