Hey, that was my line you stole.

Trixie I could have done without that Panda song. Anyway, a Bambi could kick a Panda's hinney in a fight any old day.

Just y'all wait until I get in the convent. There will be hell to pay. I'll be an uneducated woman putting up with everyone elses kids and not getting paid. Although I am certain you'll all give me stipends. No more habits in the convent so Ace will need some Chanel for Nun confrences. I'll hit Marshall's for my everyday wear.

God forgive me but who was the Priest who was shell shocked at Judge? I know that is awful, but he may be the Priest had a sip of whiskey.

Hey, MC! I didn't read the rest of these posts yet, but you were a year ahead of me at Barts! I graduated in 92!

I have to tell ya, after reading this thread my side hurts from laughing and on more than one post I spit soda all over the monitor.

I went to St Bridgets for my first few years and then to Corpus Christi for grades 6-8 and Roman for 9th grade

Dont remember alot about St Bridgets but at Corpus the nuns were Sisters Of St Joseph and they were pretty brutal. In the movie "Blues Brothers" the scene where John Belushi calls Mother Superior "Penguin" always reminds me of a time at Corpus when this one kid was on a rant about a nun, who was standing behind him, and he called her Penguin at which point she grabbed him by the ear and off to the coat closet/torture chamber they went.

Does anyone remember those wooden pointers with the rubber bullet tip? We had this one nun who could have made the olympic javelin team because she was deadly with that thing. I swear she could nail you upside the head from 30 yards.

On any given day there was an assortment of kids in class with gum on the end of their nose, blackboard eraser marks on their uniform, red knuckles, one kid in each corner and any other assortment of oddities you can imagine. I remember to this day in 8th grade, I guess this girl in the front was sitting with her legs spread enough for Sister Anita to see that she didnt have white undies on and OMG it was on then. I would assume that after that trauma, today she still wears white cotton grannies.

Every Friday afternoon they would line us all up and take us to confession. I absolutely DREADED confession. Bless me father for I have sinned.... then the dreaded admission "I have had impure thoughts" and the response "have you done anything" "yes, father" "alone or with others" "alone father, I cant find anyone to join in on the fun" lol

At Roman, I had the misfortune of visiting the "Discipline Office" once for some major transgression such as having on one blue sock and one black sock. I remember watching a couple of the Hellraiser movies and thinking wow, thats what the "Disciplaine Office" at Roman was like.

All in all, I turned out pretty normal. I respect authority, got a first class education, respect my elders and managed to stay out of trouble for the most part.

Some years back, maybe in the 80's, there was a movie that had one of the Dillon boys, maybe Kevin, that was set in New Yourk I think and was about a group of friends who went to Catholic school and their exploits. I wish I could remember the name of it so I could find it and buy it.

Ive rambled on enough. I hope the OP isnt terrified about sending the kids to catholic school now... it is a quality education and they have laws now that make it a criminal offense to actually maim students :-) I wouldnt trade my catholic school experience for anything!

OK, I had to look that movie up. It is from 1985 and the name of it is Heaven Help us

http://imdb.com/title/tt0089264/

If anyone hasnt seen it, it is worth trying to find it, it captures the catholic school experience almost exactly as I remember it.

In this coming-of-age comedy set in 1965, Michael Dunn is a recently orphaned Boston teenager who is sent with his younger sister to live with their grandparents in Brooklyn. Once there, he befriends his misfit Catholic school classmates and a reluctant young monk, rebelling and discovering who they are, and often with hilarious results. Michael also falls for Dani, the local hangout owner's tough-as-nails daughter. But the repressive monks of St. Basil's will stop at nothing to prove that their ways are the right ways and their word is law...even if it means destroying their relationship

Ha, reading this thread definately brings back memories for me. Went to St Leo's, Father Judge.. Mean nuns at Leos... JUG in the AM at Judge. AHHHHHHHH thanks for the flashbacks. Not only you got in trouble at school, the nuns would be sure to let your parents know what you did, and then you got it later at home...
