Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Junior/Senior Prom Tonight
I am so exceedingly unpopular with my students that they made me be the junior class sponsor this year. The junior class is responsible for putting on the prom each year. As their sponsor I have to be there. After the king and queen are crowned, there is a traditional cake that is eaten. Should I stick to my diet or eat the cake? Serious faux pas here, or not? Btw, where does the word "prom" come from?  SignatureMost of us probably aren't in danger of eating too little. :) Becky P. > I am so exceedingly unpopular with my students that they made me be the > junior class sponsor this year.

Should I > stick to my diet or eat the cake? Serious faux pas here, or not? Why break PERSONAL tradition? Be a dick. Don't eat the cake! And if anyone asks, just tell them you can't have any sugar for health reasons. It's not a complete lie, right? This is why I'm glad I teach middle school and not high school. ;) BTW, "prom" comes from the word "promenade," which means "a formal dance or ball." So there you have it.

Just take a bite and set it down. Once the conversation starts up again, no one will notice if you're eating your cake or not.

Yeah, he might just get a little more happy. Go back to school with a big grin on his face. Usaully works. Get laid, have some fun. Kids might just like you better. Eat a piece, make the kids happy. Just a few bites. > I am so exceedingly unpopular with my students that they made me be > the junior class sponsor this year. The junior class is responsible > for putting on the prom each year.

If you were allergic would you eat it or would you expect people to understand when you say you don't eat cake?

What is this with people ending sentences with "that," both verbally and on paper. It's as if people without any creative inclination are using poetic license.

It may be a fasion you don't like, but it's timeworn and its meaning is understood by most. It should actually be: True, that. Meaning 'That is true' or to paraphrase Yoda 'True, that is.'
