Can they really be that stupid?

The Good DH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, he is a character, but with a heart of gold!!!!!!!

A True Hacker with a heart of gold.

Yep. I remember he sold me his baseball card collection for $40. One of the best deals I've ever made!

I don't remember who the student was, but one year at Pastor's School they paid a semester of a student's tuition for doing a skit.  It had to do with 3 or 4 people brushing their teeth, spitting the water in a cup, and passing it to the next person.  At the end this guy did the same and then drank the water.

Anyone else remember this?

Hi Raider. We were at HAC at the same time in the 80's. (I was 81-86.) I've been lurking in the background for a long time and finally registered today. I was on the old FFF.

I was in that group brushing our teeth in the Pastor's School skit. I think the one you are trying to remember is Don Harley. He was behind on his bill so it really came at exactly the right time.

BINGO!!  It was Don Harley.  That guy was a true, blue Hacker.  He lived at Baptist City and on laundry day he would bring his large duffel bag full of dirty clothes to main campus.  Because he was going to do his laundry later that day, he would carry it from class to class.

I liked Don and considered him a good friend but this really screams

You might Be A Hacker If...

I can still hear Jim Alter saying, "Harley, are you an idiot?  Why are you dragging your dirty laundry from class to class?"

Bet it helped him get a date for the Valentines Day Banquet.

He asked 12 girls and they all said, "No!".  He really doesn't know why.

One of the saddest things I saw at Hyles was a "B" day bus promotion. After picking up a full bus and taking them to church, we left almost immediately to pick up a bus in another part of town. And by we I mean me and my bus captain. This meant that not only would we have to try to maintain control on a bus by ourselves but our bus would have less workers.

We went from house to house for about an hour saying stuff like "We are having a special service in an hour. If you wanna come we will have ... promotion (I think it was giant pixie sticks and cool-aid). If you wanna come we will have a yellow bus here in an 45 min (time dropped as we went from house to house)

I kept on thinking "What kid of parents let their kids get on a bus with strangers an hour after meeting them?" and "What if another yellow bus comes this way before we get back ?"

The saddest part though was the enthusiastic response we got from several adults saying stuff like "We went to that church as kids, will the bus be back next week?" The bus captain was honest and said he didn't believe they planned on coming back on a regular basis. He promises some he would talk to someone but probably nothing would happen. I know he did talk several people but their was never any intention of starting bus routes when these big days were planned. It was so sad to know that these buses were about the numbers (Especially baptisms) and not the people.

I too remember days like that.

I loved my bus route, but I always felt that if someone were to ask me if I would let my little child ride a bus an hour away for almost the whole day, there is no way I would have let that happen.

This is actually one of the compelling reasons to have a bus ministry. Generally speaking, their parents do not parent all that well...

This is actually one of the compelling reasons to have a family ministry.  Provide transportation of needed with any vehicle you have, but the need is the whole family.

Right. Because all of this parents I dealt with through the years would have come if only I had invited them to ride in a car instead of a bus... I get that the need is the entire family. I totally get that. But entire families refuse to be reached. They come in dribs and drabs.

Didn't really mean that as an attack, just a statement of fact.

My time as dispatcher at the Schererville Police Department was an interesting one, though only a year and a half. With that intro, I received a call one winter night about 2 am that there was a looney at the corner of 30 & 41 in front of Sauzers Waffle House (since torn down for the Wal-mart store). It was snowing pretty good though not blizzard-like conditions.

The officers got there and there was W.P. (not Wingnut, for those who know him ) standing literally underneath the stop lights in the middle of the intersection, in a short-sleeved shirt, Bible in one hand and a broom in the other and he was literally street preaching at the cars going by. Mind you, this was not on the corner but literally in the center of the intersection. At the time of the officers' arrival, there was no traffic but he was preaching away anyway.

The officers laughed it off and gave him a ride back to Baptist City.

Haha, great story Smellin'  needed a laugh today.  Can you message me the guys name?  Just curious if I knew him.

'Nuther time, at the police department I got a call of a security guard pulling a gun on a grade school kid on the Baptist City campus. I sent an officer right away. When he spoke to the guard, the guard admitted it and told the officer that it was against the rules for the kids to walk on the grass. The kids wouldn't listen to him when he told them to get off of the grass so he "pulled his gun" and "pointed it in the air" to "teach them a lesson".

Then there was the time when the Fire Chief came into the station livid. He met with the Police Chief and together they went to the college and got things worked out. Found out that the Fire Chief went to the campus to do a fire safety inspection but the Orange Coats stopped him at the door. They refused to let him in. He demanded to see the head of security and the OC said he would have to get a name first. Otherwise he would have to have a warrant to enter the building.

Police Chief made the appropriate calls and the inspection was done later that day.

Working the night shift another night, a lady called me and was livid. She said that she rolled through a red light in the intersection of 30 & Cline and a "police car" pulled beside her and shined a spotlight into her window and told her to pull over. She did and he pulled in behind her. When the officer approached the car, she noticed it was a HAC security guard and the reason he used the spotlight was because he didn't have the light bar on top of his vehicle. While he was outside her window, she just pulled away and called the police.

Sent an officer to the campus and got NO assistance in trying to find out who the meatball was...
