First Day of School (Traditional)

[damont]

On this date, Wednesday, September 6th, ::mumble:: years ago, I started fourth grade. I'm not sure there are *any* public schools left in the USA that start on the Wednesday after Labor Day.

Ours start the Tuesday after Labor Day still. I think the Kindergarden might start on Wednesday.

I was curious, my high school started a week before labor day. And I bet the teacher really hate that the first week is 5 instead of 3 days.

Don't feel too old, kid.

I just hit the big Five-Oh, today. And I still refuse to either grow up, or get old.

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

Doom and gloom and dark despair
People dying ev'rywhere

On your Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

Cities burning in your wake
Like the candles on your cake

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

This one lesson you must learn:
FIRST you pillage, THEN you burn!

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

Mortal vermin cringe in fear
Thank God it's only once a year

Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)
Happy Birth-DAY! (*STOMP*)

When you've reached this age, you know
That the mind is... (er, I forget how this verse ends... gimme a minute, it'll come to me, I'm sure...)

Completely off the topic of your post, but I love the icon. *snickertubassnicker...*

Ain't it great? I broke killernurd with the icon on first showing it to him. (He played sousaphone in the Chantilly HS Mighty Marching Chargers his senior year.)

Hats off to cadhla for coming up with the icon, plus a dozen or so others on the same theme. You can find them in this post (http://cadhla.livejournal.com/949315.html); all freely gankable as long as you give proper credit and let her know.
