tgwstw: Haha. Where did the whole morla /mala thing come from?
god thats a good question
i remember the first day i landed in junior infants and was given this strange substance to play with, i was told by the wise teacher that this was mala and so it was mala
MARLA it to me was always pronounced MARLA with the "R" to me.
I remember getting white flat cardboard packets of it with different colours of strips back in the 80's that always ended up a kinda multi coloured brownish or purple colour when all mashed up together, and it always went hard.
Growing up in Primary school the teachers managed to get bricks of plasticine of one colour which was slightly harder than what we called Marla.
Roll on a decade or two and you hear of this thing called play dough which was no comparassion and could be made by any house wife with flour lots of salt and food colouring by boiling in a sauspan.
for the mmore mature you could buy model clay in Easons that was like Marla with the added advantage of being able to cook it in the oven to may clay.
Had a bigdiscussion about this topic last year with a few other teachers

Oh it's long gone, there's a black hole under my bed where socks, old shoes and other things just fall into and disappear! Never to be seen again. So you've never done something silly and felt guilty?

Whatever you say, say nothing When you talk about you know what For if you know who could hear you You know what you'd get For they'd take you off to you know where For you wouldn't know how long So for you know who's sake Don't let anyone hear you singing this song
During FCA camp a few years ago we were staying over night for a few nights in galway.when we'd finish in the evening we'd shower and hit the town for the night.One guy used insist in making a big deal out of getting ready and had all his potions left round the bathrooms.he'd finish by putting on this expensive aftershave.One evening when he wasn't looking we took his aftershave into the jacks and spilt out half of it and replaced it with 'guess what'.it brightened up everyones evening from then on to see his splash on his aftershave !!
dolphinguy: I swear to god, one year later we were all back at camp and here is this dude back again with the same bottle of 'aftershavepiss'.You'd imagine it would be beginging to sting a bit after a year ha ha.and did i feel guilty and tell him what was up. . ah no i didn't.
