Bad advice certainly is prevalent in this realm, ogged.

You mean in the pool? I'll swear by "Don't run."
I meant the realm of how to spell "prevalent".
This advice was given by a lifeguard in his 40's to one who's probably around 17.
Umm, I'm pretty sure that advice was originally given by Ice Cube.
Swimming right after eating a big meal is not extremely dangerous but it still is a bad idea.
Here is another quote that would be good if there were zombies:
"It is better to walk into court than to shuffle with the undead creatures of the night."
I heard a lot of this while visiting my parents in Oklahoma. We went to a renaissance faire and the people buying swords and daggers seemed to be looking for protection rather than to complete their costumes. Apparently they fear running out of ammo. They talked about 9/11 a lot--yet not a word about the terrorist bombing in Oklahoma City. They were much more afraid, and on a very personal level, of "A-rabs" than we are in Manhattan.
Spellingwise, Majikthese misspelled "genealogy" just now. If we send w-lfs-n over there to set her straight, he won't be here.
It's not analogical to biology. sociology, etc. The Google count is only 12-1 "genealogy" over "geneology", and many sites list it both ways.

This is a fool's errand. It's not a choice.
I've never seen a lifeguard with a gun before. Where was this, Haiti?
Well, objectively speaking, it is better to be alive and on trial than to be dead, at least in most cases.
The worst advice I got as a teenager was to date seriously (only those whom you could envision marrying), but to try to avoid having sex. The combination of a strong emotional connection and either crushing sexual frustration or crushing guilt at no longer being sexually frustrated is taxing for even the best of people. In some cases, it can lead to murder.

Is there something you need to tell us?
It seems to me that even cute people need to have their spelling harped on.
I'd harp on more than her spelling!
Ha, ha.
But seriously, yes, I murdered a girl I dated in high school.
And you spoke for us all when you did.
As long as you feel OK about it.
Dammit, everyone had more fun than I did in high school.
12: So it's OK for me to point out that it's "Majikthise"?
6, I think, was already dealt with.
"One I Had Not Heard"
Not a fan of westerns, I take it. Or much familiar with the Second Amendment crowd.
13, 14: You dated in your high school?
I was too busy having sex with my 22-year-old girlfriend, whom I more or less lived with for a good part of my senior year. Though I did go to a few parties, which featured classic groping and kissing games. This resulted in a surprising shooting up in my class standing.
Kotsko's girlfriend had fun up to a point.
