Bob The Unschooling Hoodie

We the BGA (bob groupies anonymous) would like to introduce you to something so spectacular as never has been seen before in the unschooling community. BOB! The unschooling hoodie! You might be asking your self “self, what is the thrill in a hoodie? It’s just a darned hoodie!?” well phooey on you!!! you will NOT be on the ballot this election!

This is BOB we’re talking about here folks. Show some respect, show some worship, show some gratitude for all that Bob’s done for you.

The History of Bob: It all started way back a long time ago in November of the year 2000, Ms. Lotus (now Vice President Hood mistress) was trying to return the hoodie to Mr. Adam D (now President Adam Hoodmiester) after leaving it at her residence in scenic western WI. After arguing over who would keep the squishiness that is now bob, it was decided that no one shall keep it, and it will hence remain in circulation among the unschooling community until the body of such has been filled. Hence our hero Bob was born. *and their was much rejoicing*

How bob is to Circulate: There is to be an election held quarterly, for the new owner of Bob. All owners must first qualify aka (must be approved by the president) and then 4 running mates will be chosen to run, campaigning may be done on Bobs official web site(Coming soon!) for all qualifying candidates.

Rules, contracts and conditions to be agreed to by the winner: (one rule will be added per day until all 30 rules are coverd)

• Rule 1: Bob is not to be kept under any individuals ownership for a period exceeding 5 months.

• Rule 2: Each person to be in possession of Bob must label bob as having done such. This will be done by the sewing on of a patch with the temporary owners name on it, the dates of whence they owned it and something spiffy you’ve said i.e. “And no one loved me even thought I had a tape worm” (by Eric Williams) . Square patch is not to exceed the size of 3 by 3 inches. Patch is to be sewn on well and not to be written in pen, marker or anything else libel to come off in the wash.

• Rule 3: Bob is to be washed at least once during his stay with his temporary owner (fabric softener a plus)

• Rule 4: There are to be no more then 2 knots (one on each side) tied in to Bob’s godly pulley stings.

• Rule 5: there is to be no calling bob “Nancy” if anyone is caught calling bob by the name of “Nancy” or “Philip” you will be revoked all your bob time.

• Rule 6: Bob is not to be worn in weather in which the temperature is lower then thirty degrees below zero, as this may cause damage to bob.

• Rule 7: Bob is not to be worn in weather exceeding the temperature of ninety eight degrees, as this may cause damage to the temporary owner.

• Rule 8: Bob has his own beliefs! You are not to force your beliefs to bob, we know you will try, we know you think that you was it the right way, but bob can not be changed! He will not give in to your scare tactics, except on Wednesdays. You are allowed to campaign under any governmental regiment you chose, and sway voters and scare them all you want, but let it be known that bob will over come!

• Rule 9: Bob is not to be dry-cleaned. Those caught dry-cleaning bob will be castrated, if at all possible.

• Rule 10: Bob it to be warn! Feel free to worship bob, as we do, but let him do his job! He’s not to be sitting on some shelf as a sort of unschoolers shrine. Be respectful of bob’s needs!

• Rule 11: No owners, with our exception, are allowed to shave Bob with one of those little lint ball thingies.

• Rule 12: There is to be no playing paint ball in bob (unless properly protected with Vaseline)

• Rule 13: There will be No exposing bob to Vaseline, on any day that does not have a “T” in it.

• Rule 14: No blowing your nose in bob, no matter how urgent the situation may seem.

• Rule 15: No wearing bob backwards with hood up so as to bump into things, thus risking damage to bob, those wearing bob, and pedestrians in general.

• Rule 16: No leaving bob alone on a busy beach, even if he really begs you to leave him with those tan girls in the string bikini’s, this could only end in disaster.

• Rule 17: Show common courtesy for Bob whenever possible (i.e. no running purposefully into closed doors)

• Rule 18: Bob is not to be involved in any hate groups. As a hoodie, bob does not have the capacity to hate and trying to get him to do so is futile.

• Rule 19: If that lake your in has been treated for swimmers itich any time within the last week, do not use bob as a towel.

• Rule 20: Bob is the unschooling hoodie and as such all temporary owners are to be unschoolers. The BGA keeps no definition of an unschooler, so if you define your self as such, you may run. (those may be allowed to capitalize on this as a campaign strategy, how one defines them self as an unschooler)

• Rule 21: Bob is a goof and enjoys a good bit of play; you must not kick bob if he starts flirting with you, just walk away! unless you like it. You may always kick Bob if he gets fresh.

Thoughts on bob

• How do you become a member of the BGA?
• All BGA members are those previous and current owners of bob, and have say in bills that may be passed concerning Bob, such as new rules. All members are created equal except those bodies known President Adam Hoodmister and Vice-president Lotus Hoodmistress who have the last say (we may also be looking in near future for a third in line “Speaker {your name here} Hood______”-BGA

• All I have to say is: how do I run for Bob?!? ~Rosie
• Dito, dito! You phrase things so perfectly Rosie.
• Ladies ladies! I know you are excited but please try to contain your selves! All running for bob is to be done on the upcoming website which has been temporary delayed. The management will approve three candidates, to run under which ever of the parties the runners chose (parties will be explained in more fullness later) these three will have campaign (running) space on the website, when election time comes around, the people will vote, on the web page. After the votes are in, we (the management) will recount the votes at least 6 times even though they come in with the same answer every time (except those three times when it was completely different) Eventually a winner will be chosen, and bob will be express mailed you way. –BGA Management
