Thing you've ever witnessed/been a part of on the back of the school bus? I seem to remember somebody mooning some cars on the interstate after a track from the back of the bus. I also remember a field trip to the zoo in Chicago in 9th grade when Jeff and Wayne brought beers wrapped in tin foil (like that was going to fool anyone) and drank them on the way up. Ok, so those are pretty tame. How about you?

1. Stepping over the vomit when someone mid-bus got 'car' sick...

2. My friends older brother demonstrating the what-goes-where with his sister, I think he was 9 and she was about 7...

I don't remember exactly what was going on but a big wig in the school administration pulled our bus over! :unsure: He was driving behind us and witnessed some shananigan's (they DO have those big ole windows). :huh:

He walked up and down the aisle lecturing us and I remember feeling so bad for the driver. We feared she was going to be fired. :(

:lol:

Let's see. I can't remember them all, but some of the highlights include:
- seeing just how many batteries our soccer goalie could shove up his nose. He broke it half a dozen times that season so it was more malleable than usual.
- drinking excessive amounts before States for cross country. The guys team didn't even qualify, so we were just along for the ride. Bad news.
- "The Road to Huber Heights". The following is an abridged list of what we threw out the window during our trip to Ohio (I'd write more but I can't remember it all): oranges, water bottles, Steve Granky's test he failed (his decision, not ours), couple pairs of socks, aluminum cans, loose change, and a large bolt taken from the bus floor, tied to a spool of string. We wanted to see how long we could get the string before things got crazy.

I cite irreconcilable differences.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
When Clint Shaver (r.i.p. but I doubt it) let 'er rip with a HUGE green lugie that traveled all the way to the front of the bus and landed on some girls shoulder. She wore it all winter, much like if the Beatles had touched her coat.

Go figure.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

Of course not, it would be nearly impossible to hold the video camera steady while you were doing that!!

(SORRY!)
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

OK, next time I'll have Neal do the filming, and let Bob hold the microphone.

Hmmmm....back of the bus....some of the things I've seen....

1. An All-State middle linebacker, after begging the coach to pull over for a pit stop and being repeatedly denied, took a whiz on the car behind us through the emergency door. Pee splatters a long way at 60mph.

2. After the cheerleaders bus broke down at an away game, watching Paula J. tell the cheerleader sponser the very good and sane reason why she had her bloomers in her hand and not on her bottom, after a lights on, all hands on the back of the seats check.

3. Getting the rear windows knocked out with brickbats in Delhi one night as we were boarding after the game. Both teams were ranked in the top ten (first high school game I ever played in), and geez, were they sore winners.

Not on the back of the bus, but the clear winner...

Our old bus was unaffectionately known as the The Blue Goose.

It was a clattering, smoking, absolute piece of shot at and missed, sh*t at and hit, piece of carp. It was so bad that one of my best friends, an absolute mechanical whiz, born and raised in a transmission shop, was lettered by the football coach for keeping the thing in somewhat running order.

We'd be climbing on the bus with our duffels stuffed with uniforms, helmets and pads. John would be climbing on the bus with a tool box and a cardbboard box of spare parts. John was the only one allowed to chew tobacco on the bus, that was part of his negotiated package deal.

One cold night in Sunset, after a particularly bad loss, the old bus refused to even turn over. Out I climb in the pouring, cold rain, trying my best to hand John whatever tools he needed, as he beat, banged and cursed at the old Detroit Pusher.

He finally hollered at the coach to buss 'er off, and when Praise God that old carpy bus started, he crawled out from under it, a bit wild eyed, cussing a blue streak, with rivulets of rain running down his grease-streaked face. We gathered up tools like people snatching hundred dollar bills off of a sidewalk, and ran for the dry.

He told coach, "Whatever you do, don't let it die, 'cuz I don't think what I did is gonna work twice."

Coach took him at his word.

The only thing between us, and the open road was a string of blue porta-potties.

Coach hit the first one, dominoed 5 more, and we were off in cloud of black unburnt hydrocarbons.

Still wonder what went through the guy's mind in the third one, as he was ejected out the door. Guess he had his days mixed up, he kept screaming something at us about mardi, which was Tuesday and this was on Friday night. Oh well...

As they say, sh*t happens.... :yes:

Me and a cute little redhead named Gloria noticed how a a bus bounces when it hits a pothole, and that if we got on the last seat where no one noticed that she was sitting on my lap you could put that bouncing to wondrous use......

You had helium on your bus?

Ok, I just don't get how you would keep your, ehrm, concentration when you know that most likely, somebody else is WATCHING. :hide:

Great story, Jolly. :biggrin:

I had some interesting experiences in the back of the bus, some when I was a grade school student (big for my age) and rode back there with the high school girls, but my favorite bus story is when I was a chaperon for a museum field trip of third-graders.

On the way back from the museum, the boys (our bus was all boys and the girls were on another bus, talk about segregation) started singing a song:

(to the tune of "The Song That Never Ends)
This is the fart that never ends.
It just goes on and on, my friends.
Some people started smelling it,
Not knowing what it was,
And they'll continue smelling it,
Forever, just because...(repeat ad infinitum)

The mothers who were chaperoning were mortified by what their sons and the other boys were doing. I was doing all I could to avoid laughing out loud and joining in.
