. . . of some nice Decatur teachers when I was asked to speak about this blog, technology or something.
Observations:
- I was like Obama in Germany except completely different
- But man, that was a huge crowd. I was scared to death.
- The group was very gracious and, in general, laughed when I had planned for them to laugh (although I'll keep my day job.)
- That was the first time I had been in Decatur High School. Very nice place.
- Awkwardness developed when I spoke of my "running bit" of posting stories of female teacher/male student sex scandals (my "And Another" topics). Note to self: Rethink that
- I had a wireless mic and a wireless presentation from Google Docs. That was cool.
- The Superintendent, Gary Gindt, even came up and said hello before the presentation. That was a very funny moment because I had a live mic on me so I really couldn't say anything. But he seems like a very nice guy.
- Saw a couple of friends (even Lovelit from that blog list on the right.)
- My voice kind of cracked when I was asked about posts I was most proud of (you'd be surprised, it was a completely sappy moment.)
- Although it isn't that interesting without my down home country witticisms, the presentation is

I was wondering....do they still make Gresham Formula 44? :)
We loved you, Barry.
You were so interesting, witty, and yes, touchingly kind.
I haven't looked through your presentation, but hopefully you had someone edit this beforehand.
My daughter is at volleyball camp at DHS this week and I so wanted to sneak in when I dropped her off today so I could see your presentation. Thanks for sharing it here!! Although I'm sure it is better with your witty commentary.
You were a superstar, Barry! Didn't mean to make you feel "awkward" with my male/female teacher comment. I was just pulling your leg. Oh...wait! Can I say "pulling your leg" as a female teacher?
Glad to know you didn't trash our country like Obammy did.
To Barry...
Since you and Obama are so similar I was surprised there was no free beer or rock music before your presentation.
Your presentation was very good and extremely entertaining. You have new fans and remain well loved by the ones who have limped along with you and The Blog.
Great lunch! Glad you came to see us.
It must have been mandatory for the teachers to attend.
Man I think I would love to see you speak to a bunch of people....I think I would like to give you a hard time while you did it. Just for kicks though cause I really like your blog. Sorry I missed it.
Did you elaborate on SPEEDO MAN B.G.??
It was not mandatory - we did not have to sit and listen to Barry. We considered it a treat to get to be there. I'm so glad Barry's arm was twisted and he came, because it sounded like he really wanted to say no.
Very impressive, Bar! I'm sure you won new fans.
You mentioned those commenters that hate - hey, if you ever need a posse for protection - send out the word. You'd be surprised how many fans you have.
You were great BG, loved
it!!
anybody else experiencing s............l............o............w blog???
Im thinking the embed is killing you.
Again, well done, BG. And, man, I didn't know you were such a softy:)
which haters were you referring to? bush haters, liberal haters, nigger haters, fat-assed women haters, lawyer haters, and oh yea lawnmower haters...did i miss any???
63 page powerpoint? Wow! You are truly evil.
Barry-haters, 5:47
who is lovelit!?!?
either your power point or your you tube video is killing me....if you dont change it i wont be able to view you blog untill next week(when its gone) :(
Hon', don't forget that old saying: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". I think you might be getting pretty close. I wouldn't be climbing any ladders if I were you.
"do they still make Gresham Formula 44?"..........R&R.....huh? All the Greshams I know are either dead or horse thieves.
It's Grecian Formula 44, you dolt. You need to stop coloring your hair. It's beginning to affect your brain.
where was megan henderson in your 'bit' segment?
I enjoyed your presentation today even more than last year. Thank you for agreeing to come and look forward to next time.
one of the Decatur teachers
Yep, love the presentation, but trying to load the blog now almost got my computer thrown out the window for "quitting" on me. VERY slow loading, Barry. Can you take it away now? :-)
Enjoyed your presentation today. It was very entertaining. You were the highlight of our day! Thank you for coming and putting up with us.
Your use of technology was very impressive!
OK OK so what'd he say that made him seem real, I mean soft?
Do share for those of us who didn't make the workshop.
PS - I know who Lovelit is.
8:09.....you better watch out......Capitan Jarnoggin will start calling you 6th grade names.
Loved it Barry!!!

Happy to see that DHS has actual "blue and white" in its decor. I recall the pink, green, maroon, tan... really everything BUT blue and white, in the Thompson St. building. Disgusting!
breaking news..shooting at wise co hospital..
callers reporting multiple shooters..
cancel alert..now hospital reporting everything ok..saying caller is 10:96 CRAZY PERSON!!!
That's General Jarnoggin to you, buddy.
Jarhead- love him or hate him, rest assured you won't do either for very long.
Well, Decatur folks should be proud of Barry - after all, he grew up in Bridgeport.. :-)
