Melatonin works great for me. Take 1/2 5mg is just enough to knock me out and wake up feeling good.
We had an intimidating looking teacher/football coach when I was in middle school. Dean Cvitkovic. He popped his head in my class one day and said, "I need to borrow Sorrell for a minute."
Apparently, one of the shop students had made him a new paddle and he wanted to test it out on me. Beautiful piece of art. Heavy, thick, alternating strips of pine and cherry with holes cut out in it for maximum aerodynamic efficiency. Well, little Greendevil Willy wasn't skeered.
He had me bend over in front of the high school science class he was teaching. "You sure you wanna do this?"
"Go ahead, Coach C."
I still regret those words to this day. He didn't hold anything back.
It took everything I had not to cry in front of those high school girls with their big boobs and bigger hair.
I was the first kid that got to sign his paddle, though.

Swear to GYERO I saw a dead mountain lion on the side of the road this morning.
My elementary school teacher was a bear of a man; probably 6'4 270ish and country strong. By the time I came though he was in his late 50s, broken, and latently angry like most educators. He had the pleasure of teaching my dad and his brothers who by all accounts were epic hell raisers so he knew there was something inside of me needing a thrashing. So every birthday instead of having the secretary sing happy birthday over the intercom like 90% of the kids got, I got the pleasure of a birthday butt whooping during recess for all to see. On the "one to grow on" he'd bare down and try to bring tears but it never happened as a wooden paddle was nothing compared to the 2 inch thick rubber strip I was accustomed to from my grandpa. On my 12th birthday (6th grade) he saw this as his last chance to leave a mark. I knew this going in. Being 6'0 and 225 I knew he was going to hit me with all he had so as he swung I squatted down and leaned into it, only to have him not adjust in time, hitting me square in the lower back breaking the damn paddle at the handle. It left a helluva bruise and we laughed about it later when we were eating cupcakes. Thinking back on it, he'd probably be serving time still after that stunt nowadays.
These are some of the weirdest elementary school stories I've ever heard. Congrats guys
Who volunteers to waterboard themselves?
Wednesday Shorts:
- It's like Kilmer told Moxon:
"Boat, you are the dumbest smart kid I know."
- I miss Bonzo. GYERO could use a little more of people like him (single, no kids, not obsessed with food, healthy).
- The older I get, some of the best advice regarding women I've ever heard came from an interview I read with Bill Maher of all people, "Don't upset them."
- Murray is a GD stud. He's not one these flashy 18-year-old guards who wows you with athleticism or dropping bombs. His game is pretty mature, very North-South, efficient, not much wasted movement on his drives or his shot. He's athletic, but he's more Brandon Knight than Bledsoe or Wall. I can't recall many college backcourts that will feature three guys like Ulis, Murray and Briscoe.
- Steven A. Smith makes $3M a year from ESPN. All he does is namedrop and make stupid arguments. How is this possible?
- Alison Brie may be my current #1. I love everything about that woman.
- Watched "HBO Real Sports" last night which featured an interview with Christy Mack regarding getting the ish beat out of her by War Machine, and then a larger narrative on domestic violence in sports. First off, I could barely even listen to the interview- makes me sick to my stomach hearing about/seeing domestic violence. The NFL's domestic abuse percentage is actually lower than the national average, but MMA's is over double. With that said, what do these women expect getting involved with ex-cons who make their living beating people up?

It was a game at that point. From all accounts he whipped the hell outta my dad and uncles but they liked him because he was right to the point, didn't put up with ish, but got something out of them. I helped him load the leftover lunch scraps into the back of his pickup/school bus so he could take it to his hogs every day and he'd let me come listen to the SEC tourney games on the radio with him during class when I could. He was a good man, it was just rougher then.
60% of gyero paddle stories are complete fiction. TS.
I would imagine that it's very rare for a group to go to St. Andrews and not play it. Put your name in the draw each day and go play the other courses the days you are not playing the Old Course. They obviously want you to be able to play it.
The one time I got sent to the principal's office for a paddling was for yelling at another kid for pestering me in 7th grade class. Sent us both together for disrupting the class. We walked to the other end of school, and I told the other kid I wasn't going in there. Went to the bathroom, clenched my face to make it look as red as possible, splashed some water in my eyes to make it look like I cried, and went back to class. The other kid did the same.
Still can't believe the teacher believed us, and she never did check out story. [thumb2]

I always assumed it was crazy difficult and crazy expensive to play it. Website makes it seem not so bad.
If I was a gambling man I would bet you got paddled, cried then made that story up not get "cut down". You have even told the story so much you started to believe it. It was a smart move that fooled a bunch of 7th graders but not GYERO.
My grandmother was a 4th Grade Teacher in LaGrange. Her method was switches. She had switches at home as well. I got disciplined once. All it took. Switches were 1000 times worse than a paddle.
I went to Catholic school in the 90s. Our teachers would cut off toes with a cigar cutter if you sassed back. Really taught you respect.
I guess I just kind of stopped caring enough to argue with sports writers. Honestly, for 99% of them I just flat out don't respect their opinions enough to argue with them, and don't actually give a **** what they think. Sometimes I'll get sucked in, but mostly I just don't care anymore.
If I can find camo croakies I'll wear it to the first game with my horse belt, Oxford, khakis combo.
How about some some Costa camo Croackies?
[laughing] I was Butch Martin's swattee so many times it wasn't a question of if I was going to get swatted, but how severe would it be. It was always for talking during class. If he was in a good mood, he would joke around and slap the wall and tell me to go back into class acting like I could barely walk, or he would give a light swat. If, however, he was in a bad mood, :scream:. I'll never forget one time he gave me a pre-emptive swat. It was the beginning of class and he told me to go out in the hall. I protested that I hadn't done anything and he just said "But you're going to, and I don't want to have to stop class." That one hurt. I forgot Mr. Butler had a paddle. Never had the pleasure. Hard to believe that was allowed. Something else we didn't think twice about was doing blood-typing in Mrs. Pruett's (TILF) class. She used new sterile needles for each kid obviously, but still. Today, if a kid gets a bloody nose they're essentially quarantined and scrubbed down. Surprised we didn't all get the AIDS.
When Chase was is in tweet machine prime---> Twitter gold.
Scrolling through and seeing whatever the heck his avatar was.... Instant Hattogan result for me.
He was unmerciful with Tom Crean for a
good bit.
What was that avatar?

You'd lose. I couldn't make that up if I tried. I didn't even tell any classmates about it for fear of getting ratted out and getting a real beating. Catholic schools didn't f*ck around 35 years ago.
