Wouldn't think of it! The administration's actions have done more to perpetuate this wonderfully orchestrated prank causing Kyle to enjoy much more than his allotted 15 minutes of fame. Get a sense of humor Hilliard and reverse your decision on Kyle's punishment. Vote for another Hilliard City Schools levy and support such an idiotic administration? Wouldn’t think of it!

Pulling off the practical joke on a rival? ---Since when are practical jokes that cause no harm such a problem? The language? ---While some might not use this slang, it is common today and not generally considered vulgar. The school administration being embarrassed?

Pulling off the practical joke on a rival?
—Since when are practical jokes that cause no harm such a problem?

The language?
—While some might not use this slang, it is common today and not generally considered vulgar.

The school administration being embarrassed?

Aren’t there more important things to worry about?

That kind of wonderful and creative thinking has been almost snuffed out by the pogroms in public schools against free and creative thought. And to actually follow through with it too. Bravo! What beautiful young minds! I would hire them in a minute! That kind of wonderful and creative thinking has been almost snuffed out by the pogroms in public schools against free and creative thought.

The stunt was repeated by vandals from Cal Tech who changed the cards in the Rose Bowl game. Sense of humor? We don't need no stinking sense of humor, we need conformity.
