I found myself reading this story of a graduation ceremony where a student was refused his diploma for bowing and blowing a kiss to his family. The superintendent citing 'misbehavior' and 'showboating'. Now I would be lying if I told you I did not know a thing or two about rambunctious behavior. I'll tell you right now that taking a bow and blowing a kiss to your loved ones definitely does not add up to any form of lude behavior as was the hot terminology back in my day. As there were also reports of beach balls and giant inflatable rubber ducks...wait, hold on a second. Giant inflatable ducks!? Where the hell do you even get a giant inflatable duck and how did these kids sneak these items into the building anyhow? Is there some guy with a mini electric pump sitting in the nosebleed section pulling off these feats of oxygen? However it is happening I want to personally congratulate the person behind the madness. So after reading the story and googling where one might procure giant inflatable rubber ducks I found myself in the chow hall eating some ice cream when the story popped up on Headline News with viewer comments. Why don't you take a big stab where the person was from that agreed with the gross over-reaction by the school superintendent. If you guessed Birmingham (Vestavia Hills), Alabama you would be correct! Thanks Alabama for further alienating yourself from the rest of the world. As if the movie Deliverance had not already sent us over the edge. I have one last word of advice for anyone in a position of power at a public school system, public because those snobby private school brats can go jump into a pool of acid for all I care. Let the kids be kids since they will be growing up soon enough when the real world hits them like a ton of bricks.
