Students Define "Grinding"

[Ava]

"Where is the line between wholesome dancing and dirty dancing, and how many times can we cross that line during a meeting with the principal?"

3. We called it "the Freak" back in 1978

No one ever does anything new

[Tom Kitten]

4. well we called it "the Bump" back in 1975

at the Keesler Airman's club...where I first learned to roll my eyes...

[MrScorpio]

5. They were still doing it at the Airmen's club in 1983

Things rarely change on the Triangle

6. Except when Katrina and the Waves played there

a devastating performance, now I feel bummed...When I was there they were still working off Camille, six years later. I'd like to go back there, unfortunately the service doesn't give you much of a chance to lay roots...

[MrScorpio]

7. They were still warning us about Camille, they briefed us and everything

No hurricanes though

Despite that, We got a free WAR concert. Opened by Cheryl Lynn

[Tom Kitten]

8. War?!?

Cool! Was Eric Burdon still with them then? "Spill the Wine" 45 was the first record I ever bought!

[MrScorpio]

9. WAR!

No Burdon. He had long since left.

However, since all the troops there had grew up listening to the band, we all knew all the words.

They played outside, in an open field that was on the road toward the classrooms

11. Eric saw the band play somewhre, and wanted to produce them.

He did some songs with them, then they went on their own and had a few more well received releases (Low Rider, Why Can't We Be Friends?) and a few good years. They are a really great band and I'd love to have seen them live - I think they may still be playing.
Google War band and check their Wikipedia listing - they have sold over 50 million records!

10. Well, yes, I remember high school something like that

But if you're interested in film, you might be more interested in a documentary like Wiseman's classic High School (1968)

Another classic Wiseman documentary about institutions was his Titicut Follies (1967), which is simultaneously a horrific expose of Titicut and also an unconscionable invasion of the privacy of those confined there

12. Grinding in videogames

is something else entirely. I see, now that I have 98 Agility in Runescape and I am less than a million XP away from my goal of 99, that I have been doing the wrong kind of grinding. No fucking wonder I'm bored out of my mind and not feeling very satisfied. :dunce:
