Just as a follow-on from my piece last week Wherein BooMan Has a Run-In with the Police, the story was picked up by Mithras at Fables of the Reconstuction, where the Principal of Great Valley Middle School, Dr. Stephen Swymer replied in the comments. Not long after he threatened me…
Wait until Booman and friends find out about their next legal problem.
…with legal action I found out just what he had in mind. You see, Dr. Swymer is retiring after 30 years in this school district. And they are having a big party (.pdf) for him tonight. You might think that he would be focused on his accomplishments in his long career or that he would be going out for drinks with some of his colleagues, but that is not the case. Dr. Swymer is, instead, obsessed with my blogging about his incompetence and general idiocy. In fact, I just received a phone call from the local police. They were a little embarrassed to have to contact us, but Dr. Swymer wanted to know if we were planning on attending his event. The police told us that the whole blogging thing was purely free speech and NOT…A…PROBLEM. Apparently, the legal action ‘Booman and friends’ are facing relates to a polite request that I don’t…I don’t know (?)…go honor the man’s record of service to the Great Valley School District.
I guess he thought the police would ask me to stop blogging but from the tone of voice of the cop it’s more likely they just think Swymer is an asshole. If so, they sure got that right.
I’m happy he is retiring. Maybe he will answer some of the questions I asked him in response to his plethora of lies, and his empty and pathetic threat.
our generation’s Alice’s Resturant; The Booman Schoolyard Massacre. Hat tip to the brilliant mind who came up with that concept on the last installment of Booman and the Principal.
Now you should buy a T-shirt for CBtE that says: Don’t mess with Booman.
So, are you going to wear the sweater to the “soiree”?
You know, enquireing minds & all that..
Wow…after reading Swymer’s response, all I can say is that if he is he the principal of one of America’s finast [sic] schools, I pity the students. It was a stunning example of bad writing.
BTW: Kudos for sticking up for CBtE and sicking up to the fine Dr. Swymer.
I would say you should show up and steal his jacket and see how he likes it… But I wouldn’t want to have to start a fund to bail you out. heh
Standard Krayeske Disclaimer: Note to the FBI, CIA, and any other police type guys reading this. This was a snarky joke!
Do all principals take a course in lying? Perhaps you should send a flower bouquet to the soiree. Feel free to sign the card “Booman and friends.”
What a bad writer that guy is. Finast school?
You gotta love that because one boy had a storied past he is always assumed to be a liar…he is given no chance to change. In Swymer’s world no kid with a past is ever allowed to better himself or have a turnaround. Amazing that this guy works with kids.
What SN said.
Ha!..the man is an obvious nutcase. Ignore him.
However some good has come of this for me…I have a name at last for my new fluffy smoke grey cat!..”BooMan”
He prances with his tail straight up in the air, he hisses at the dog if he doesn’t show the proper respect and turns over everything in his path with his big paws to see just what the thing really is….the kids were calling him “cool cat” but I think BooMan will be a perfect name.
After reading that whiney comment at Mithras, i think Dr. Smymer should change his name to Dr. Asshole.
