Ok, it's confession time.  Most of us had a few "Hacker moments" while we were at HAC.  These are the things that you did because you were caught up in HAC/FBCH.  They are things that you look back on today and say, "What was I thinking".  They may have happened when you were a freshman.  Possibly you still had a few when you were a senior.  Hacker Nation, spill the beans on yourself!!

*As always, one Hacker moment per post.  Remember, it's all about the numbers, baby!!
 
I'll start the humiliation.  I was such a Hacker that I use to write down the color of the suits, shirts, ties, and socks that the main guys on the platform were wearing.  In some of the Preacher Boy classes we were taught to look at the way successful men dressed.  I thought this was a great idea.  What a stinkin' Hacker moment!!
 
i considered Elaine Colsten a good music teacher, and her textbook was the hymnal that we used at church. For one year, I brought my hymnal and my Bible to church, and in my hymnal, I marked down every hymn that we sang. This way, I kept track of what was sung the most often.
 
ok, what I am going to write is HALF Hacker.........When I went home for summer break I would wear nylons, under my jeans!!! I am soooooooooo ashamed!!
 
IWSAH that. when my nephew need to go to the ER the summer after my freshman year and I had to go along w/ my sister-in-law that I took time to put on a tie before we left.

Hahahahahhahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Under your jeans???????  In your defense that was kinda part of that era? You can watch reruns of old TV shows from back then and sometimes see women with hose under their shorts/hot pants!
 
IWSAH that I would not play Uno with my family during one summer vacation because it was played with cards, and really,  anyone who oassed by and glanced in our window would not know we weren't gambling,  (Mom got up, closed the blinds and told me to sit down, shut up, and play. )
 
Your mom must have been awesome!!!


I no longer wear nylons
 
IWSAH that me freshman year I would get to church early on Wednesday night so I could sit in the front row.
 
IWSAH that 1 time, and 1 time only, I sat in the Amen section in chapel.
 
IWSAH that for two years I kept track of the main idea of every sermon Bro. Hyles preached so that I could figure out his 20 themes.

...but I think Raider keeping track of the color of the suits of the guys on the platform has me beat hands down. That one never even occurred to me.
 
IWSAH that I turned myself in for lying on my own activity report and got an explusion suspended out of it one year...

As much as I hate to agree, Tom, you are correct.  That was at my deepest Hacker moment during my freshman year.

We might call this a hacker trait but Jack Triebor would quiz his students on such things. He even required them to know which foot Bro. Hyles entered the auditorium with first.

IFBs would be in much better spiritual condition if they paid as much attention to  every move Jesus made and not so much to the moves Bro. Hyles made.

Every word that Jesus said and not  so much notice to Bro. Hyles words and philosophies.

Take the world just give me Jesus.
 
I always wore nylons ...............don't tell anyone that I haven't wore nylons in 30 years shhhhhhhhhhhh  :o

I never wore jean skirt with socks and tennis shoes.............it makes me ill to see this
 
I was such a HACker that I turned myself in to JS...wrote him a letter confessing that I wore sweatpants when I worked out at a public gym...don't ask WHY I thought I needed to confess that to him. I could never in a million years figure that one out....smh.  :-[
 
IWSAH that I went on vacation once and just like we were implored to do I took along clothes and planned to attend church. We got up on Sunday and got ready to go and I found that I had forgotten to bring along a tie and decided I would not go without a tie.
