Boys named b2 and GEO06?
No sister, I never heard of them.
If they ever do come by, well then, I’ll tell ‘em you’re looking for them.

Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!

I don’t know about their marksmanship but they used
to be deadly with a 12 inch wooden ruler… .
GEO6
Little do the Jihadists know but what you are looking at
are five of the 72 virgins they are going to meet on the
other side.
The “weapon” of choice where I was educated was a 36″ pointer…Sister Cicelia, she knew how to use a pointer.
In high school I was a 6 foot 4 inch, 235 lb defensive tackle, and, more than once I was terrified by a Dominican nun who was, at best 5 feet tall and 95 lbs soaking wet. Do not EVER mess with a nun. Not only is it a bad habit to get into, but they are really dangerous!

Marine6,
Poor choice of words but understand your overall meaning. I recall in 7th grade a 4’10″ Sicilian Mother Superior that clocked me from behind for goofing around in line. Regards- GEO6
Come on GEO6 “A bad habit to get into”.
That’s Classic
I finally get it.
I’m glad I’m not the only one terrified by nuns.
How about a women with AMRAAMs or JDAMS post? That might not scare GEO6 so much…. but still gets the point across over there
Odd…not so odd… all the comments above are from the Lex-Gents… the Lex-Babes(you know who you are) are, for some reason, MIA… possibly none are RCs…an unlikely occurance…I’ll bet some are like the pig-tailed little beauties who giggled and squirmed as us manly-boys stoically…no make that… heroically accepted corporal punishment for some minor infraction, in front of the class no less, righteously administered by the likes of a Sister Mary Gonzaga. Best
Sister Maureen could tag you in the center of the forehead, clear all the way at the back of the room, with a 1/2″ stub of chalk…
..then used a 12″ ruler for the close-in work.
Chic, The relationship with you ladies is a whole lot less adversarial than the ones memory conjures up. In fact you folks are downright useful in a scrap. Besides I bet you all were the sisters’ little angels in parochial school. If you attended that is.
GEO6
I’m told, generally by those who don’t get them, that a pun is the lowest form of humor.

Never got the ruler (much) but often was hit with chalkboard erasers from 18′. Good arm Sister Grace! And my ears…ouch. They were big enough and those Sisters made ‘em even bigger! Ever see LBJ holding that hound up by his ears- picture that hound as me. (no Snake that ain’t an opening for you…)
You know, nowadays the RC school teachers are 95% lay folks (civilians) at my kids school. The few nuns left do that social justice thing I heard…
b2
I don’t know if I was lucky or otherwise, but my high school was run by the Christian Brothers priory and while they may not have been “in the habit” of throwing chalk, they could hurl erasers and even the Good Book itself at anyone looking to play the fool in class. One old feller I distinctly recollect seemed to be heavily involved in quality control for the Brotherhood’s other business line, and had been a Golden Glove in his yewt. Brother Francis you did not mess with.
Chic(k) we had a link up to the Fighter Chicks a while ago, and for my own part, I’ve always admired the well-turned ankle in a nomex bag, bringing the heat at 1.2 IMN. With or without AMRAAMs.
Prolly more than I orta of, actually.
Never did claim to be perfect.
Sister Mary Joseph at St. Paul’s School in Butler was more dangerous with a 36″ pointer than a Jedi Knight with a lightsaber. She could also shoot expert with a .22 rifle as our Scoutmaster found out the hard way.
My, you gents have been busy. Some of us [babes] have been otherwise occupied.
So what’s with this whole RC school thing – reminds me of the other JPR (not the commenter here) of the Clancy books. Standard upbringing for you high flying, low drag figher jocks and other assorted hanger-ons?
Ooh, that was a little nasty. Sorry. Must be hanging around with bad company lately. Perhaps those nice sisters could assist…….
Hey! I am a proud lowcrawl-thru-dogsh!t type not a hanger-on! Get that straight Michelle!
Michelle,
Best line I ever heard about our RC schooling. A Chicago radio host was interviewing somebody semi famous from the area. “So, did you get a good Chicago RC schooling ?” Answer, ” Oh yeah, 8 years grammar school, 4 years high school, 20 years of therapy..”
In my senior year we got even. We found out that the Bishop was coming to inspect all of the facilities, so we snuck into the convent and left the toilet seats up!
But, just to show you how much I learned, I went off to a Jesuit college, and at the end of the first year I decided I really didn’t care much for Jesuit discipline. So, being your basic genius, I dropped out and enlisted in the Corps! Shortly thereafter I came to the realization that there were very few differences between a pissed off Jesuit and an equally pissed off Marine Gunnery Sergeant (except, perhaps, for the vocabulary.) Ah, I should have paid more attention to the good Sisters.

The good Sisters from Notre Dame have just discovered the evil USC and MICHIGAN jersies in your locker. This heresy must be stamped out, so you will be made an example of, “to encourage the others”.
They are smiling because they know you will go directly to heaven.
Now make a good Act of Contrition….
My deepest apologies GEO6!
Sir!
- What can I say, just about everybody around here would be a sir to me… except for those who would be a maam, of course
