Not a Future Pimp Then?
FOUND by Squid McGlamery in Boca Raton, Florida
Found this on the beach. You have to wonder where this assignment came from, and what they did to deserve it. I like the way the person chose to alter their writing style in order to fit where the side is ripped away.

This sounds like something my grandpa would make me write if I tried to get away with lying to her lol. He is always saying "slick" when referring to someone who is trying to get away with something...usually in reference to politicians lol.

Im just so entertained by this one - I'd love to know what was done to try to be slick! Maybe he was trying to hit on older girls.

I thought the same, counterfeit note. However, hope this person learns from his mistake. Bart never does, but then if he were good like Lisa, the Simpsons would be boring.

Regardless of how many times someone forces some slick bro to write this down, there's no avoiding being slick for some of us. We don't have to try. And let me tell you; it's a blessing and a curse. Ladies, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Oh, Eggsy, my bro.... I for sure know what you're talking about. You should use your powers for good and not evil. I picture you writing this out, and leaving your phone number, with a ;-) at the end. Slick till the end.....

Oh, I hope he keeps at least a little bit of slickness! As eggs pointed out, I'm sure he can't get rid of it altogether anyway.

Notice it doesn't say he will not *be* slick. It says he will not *try* to be slick. I'm seeing a big difference there.

Eggs, if the kid was as slick as you say, he'd not have to write it out. He'd be charming the adult that is trying to discipline him.

Obviously, this is a loser who, attempting to be slick is instead incredibly embarrassing to his parents, his probably divorced parents.

He's at the beach with his dad, asking girls who are WAY to old for him and WAY too young for his dad if they'll let him put suntan lotion on them.

I love the Simpsons similarity but did the kid really have to use pink AND purple ink? They clearly tried and Failed at being slick.

Good to hear from you Rex. You all about covered it.

Bored in the bank...
My mom use to make me do these!! I dont think I ever wrote about being slick... but I do recall having to write about being home on time. By the end my hand would be all cramped up... when I learned about computers and the "cut/paste" feature I tried to be slick and do my work on the computer... damn mom figured it out though when it only took me a few minutes to write 100 sentences. Sigh... I cant wait until my kids are old enough for me to torture like that.
Oh- Kim, I dont think he (or she?) used pink and purple ink... probably the purple (or blue??) was faded or got wet from being outside. Well.. I should probably get back to work... but I mean, if my work didnt want me on the internet all the time maybe they should have blocked this site like they blocked post secret... oh well... money well spent.

I had teachers when I was young that would make me write the same sentence over hundreds of times as punishment for just being me, I was rather "spirited" and prone to pushing as many boundaries as I could find...I feel like I know this kid.

Finger in The Hole
It seems people are assuming this note was written by a boy. I've seen many young girls strutting around pulling down on their bikini tops because there wasn't anything to keep them from snapping up to their neck.
When the spam question asks the sum of "five times five," wouldn't that be spelled out: twenty-five? I guess not.

Finger, it seems everyone likes to assume even we who comment are male.

I've already been called Mr. Decibel, when in fact I am a girl.... decibel always sounded feminine to me! I don't get the male aspect, at all. I guess I should choose a less asexual name, such as Betty.

Decibel, for me it's an assumption based on experience. You see, everyone I've ever met named "Decibel" has been hung like an ox.

We have some old baby books of my father's, and they're filled with quite a few things from grade school. Once, he skipped school all afternoon to stay home and watch cartoons, and the teacher made him write

"I will not skip school" a hundred times. But he shirked out and the last page just says "no skipping" over and over.

When I was ~8yo & home alone with my sister, I opened the door for the UPS guy when he rang the bell. My dad pulled in right as I did it and was furious I was opening doors to strangers. My mom made my sister and I write 100 times "I will not answer the door for strangers" and bought us a book about stranger danger (which ended with, it's ok to open the door for the Easter Bunny because EVERYONE knows the Easter Bunny!).


(of course, what if it's a stranger dressed up as an easter bunny? What do I do then?)

"What number comes after 20?"

What NUMBER comes after 20? What number COMES after 20? What number comes AFTER 20?

After 20 what? Number of what? I knew a 28 that came after a 20. Even a 52, but there was money involved. I knew a number who came for decades after 20. Millions of numbers come after 20.

This may never get posted.

in 4th grade, my homeroom teacher would make us write:

I actually was always WAITING and WISHING for a teacher to make me write repetitive sentences for punishment in grade school, and they never did. I wanted to do it for some reason and I was so disappointed! I felt I was missing out on a rite of passage.

So one time when my teacher was admonishing me, I suggested "Well, why don't you make me write it 100 times on the blackboard?" She was at a loss, and then stammered, "Yeah...OK...why don't you?" I was SO happy! And I did it!

I don't think that this was written by either a boy or a girl. I think this was written by a man that was on the beach with his wife or g/f. She turned away for a few minutes to tend to something. Upon returning she finds him trying to be "slick" flirting with a beautiful, young girl on the beach. ok...so that's what came to my mind..lol!

mona- it's the kind of art that makes it hurt when i swallow or blow my nose still, four days later. it's also the kind that makes the 16 year old emo kids who requested it guiltily suck the mop. "Why did i just pay a dollar to see a guy do that? What's wrong with me?"

Safety measures are for OSHA. I'm just glad i didn't break my neck.

MonaLisa, I was trying to find a word that would describe how, when I visit Wikipedia to look up how old Johnny Thunders was when he died, I start going farther and father away until I realize I am reading about The Kids in the Hall.

Decibel, I associate your name with Rock and Roll, therefore assume you have balls the size of church bells.

On the rare occasion I do get a spam question, the ones with numbers confuse me. Am I suppose to spell the number or just use the number? Does it go both ways, like Flargy?

Turbo, you hit the nail on the head, fer shurrrr....
How old was Johnny Thunder? and have you seen the kids in the hall? they are classic.
