Humor & the Truth

Updated on

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has long been said that If you’re going to tell people the truth, be funny or they’ll kill you. Sadly, this author feels that she has put her proverbial head into the noose, because it has been so difficult to deliver the news of the Kingdom in such a way that it will be palatable to the masses, who are in fact, the targeted audience of this little society news. While historically, the Kingdom has had its share of problems, never has it been harder to find a light-hearted thread to cast upon the loom of …

Snow Psychosis – It’s Real!

Updated on

Dearest Gentle Reader- It has been said that “Snow brings a special quality with it — the power to stop life as you know it dead in its tracks.” And this author, along with everyone else in education, understands this more than anyone else. Snow days have become a hallmark of fond childhood reminisces, but living through snow day mania is actually quite painful. When meteorologists include that snowflake icon in their forecasts, it sets off a mental whirlwind of anticipation, regardless of it being reasonable or not. Some hallmarks of Snow Psychosis as evidenced in schools: This excitability around this …

Meet the Bored

Updated on

Dearest Gentle Reader, It has been said that before you are a leader, success is all about growing yourself. When you become a leader, success is all about growing others. If this is true, then one could deduce that our School Bored is a dismal failure. Take the leader of the Bored, Kerlores Dumbridge-Void, our very own Queen of Hearts. If one looks past her penchant for always trying to decapitate, metaphorically speaking, anyone she perceives to be an enemy (and everyone is the enemy!) she seems to have zero to little notion of what growing others even means. In …

The King Has Spoken

Updated on

Dearest gentle reader, Despite his short time with us, having started his journey on August 1st and having shared his  “vision” during convocation, the King just wants to say thank you to those who are “tea bags.”  As peons, we have a choice. We can submit to the environment that is imposed on us by the King and allow the environment to change us OR we can stick to our ideals and keep doing what is right for our students. Far too often, a despotic environment dims our light, and we tire of fighting for what we know is right …

God Doubles Down on Gridiron

Updated on

Dearest gentle reader, It has been said that there are more important things than winning or losing a game, but FedHock’s gridiron players have raised losing to an entirely new art form. This author had certainly held high hopes for the games against non-God opponents, but alas winning was not meant to be. Simply stated, the losses have moved from heartbreaking to body breaking. If God wanted to assure a win for His beloved Madonna, he made sure that FedHock would not carry any type of season momentum when coming against His God Squad. Following four straight losses (Millersport 30-20, …

Chains of Command

Updated on

Dearest Gentle Reader –  It has been said that every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces – and nowhere could this be more true than in our educational institutions. And one could deduce that this is dependent on the quality of the relationships that one cultivates with others. Indeed, the cultivation of relationships is foundational to education and society. So this author has serious doubts about the King’s firm, and rather rabid stance, on personal isolationism from his many subjects. In fact, it has been widely announced that one must not approach the King  and instead …

Lancer’s Gridiron Loss Chalked Up to Greater Opponent

Updated on

Dearest gentle reader – With the return of the fashionable set to FedHock, so too returneth those valiant young men who aim to chart their own course through that oh so noble sport of football. While it is true that FedHock has struggled mightily and in vain these past few years, nonetheless, optimism springs eternal in the legions of local football fans across the Kingdom. This optimism generally wears thin after the first game, and this season has been no exception. In perusing this season’s schedule, this author thinks she has unraveled the key to FedHock’s undoing. Simply put, FedHock …

An Introduction

Updated on

Dearest gentle reader, We’ve been apart for far too long. At last, FedHock’s dumb set has made its return, and so too has this author. As the season begins, the question on everyone’s mind, of course, is, which newly minted royal will shine the brightest? The crop this year proves to be rather bedazzling indeed. Unfortunately, not every new royal can attract the light and survive it. Our most recently appointed monarch is the shiny brand new HRM (His Royal Meathead)  King Chasin Spinster. This author is certain that if the spotlight is not on Spinster, he will surely find his …
