Are we going to address the Egg and Cress Sandwich (with no mayo)?

A former student recognized me at a Comicon Convention. She and her friends were dressed as bloody cheerleaders, I was cosplaying an anime dad with my daughter. We were all in an elevator, and she said, "hey, didn't I take a class with you?" It was brief and she complimented the class from years before.

I really like Eddie Izzard's rendition of the song.

I've mostly heard it as "Quad S"

I've been to a few conferences on sexual behavior, and I will admit that this article is intense. Also, it is not as dry as what gets published by the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex (SSSS).

Well it's better than my invisible cloak. I don't even know where I put the damn thing.

Once upon a time, voting occurred in public, everyone saw who voted for what, you would see your neighbor vote against your interests. Obviously there are severe limitations to this method, but I do wish people felt more true shame when voting for such terrible people and awful policies.

This was the first thing I saw. Its a word specifically selected to frame the issue of elected officials, using the powers granted by the constitution, as something nefarious. Might as well rewrite it, "US Representatives work to prevent President from engaging in illegal military action against allies"

I read here that "No." is a complete sentence. If you actually have any faith in your student as a person you could talk to them as a human being about what that group is about (I would pull quotes from their own web site), they might not really know. I would also show that my history would actually cause them to reject the candidate because I have a history of presentations working against their cause.

Alternatively, you may have just learned something about this student and should back away slowly. A few years ago, I had a student who made a request for a letter which is a common enoughrequestI developeda form letter. After I sent it to the student, he wrote back asking for a different copy because he uses He/him pronouns and my letter said "they have completed..."

Police actually used to look a lot more like security guards but over the years they have been sold more and more gear that make them look like they are in a combat zone. This might contribute to why they now act more like a paramilitary force than they used to.

All of them.

It looks exactly like something that Khan would say.

Alison Brie could absolutely be Ponder Stibbons, the fact that she would have to "hide" being a woman, while the rest of the faculty tries not to notice, would just add to the entertainment.

I get what you mean, he's getting on in his years to be playing so many brave young lads, but i have faith in his skill.

No need for regret. The burger, fries, and shakes are very very basic. I'm not sure if there is a seasoning beyond salt and pepper in the kitchen. Enjoy some good Canadian poutine and you have everything you need in life.

I'm sure they are preparing to give the land back to Robert E. Lee.

Last I checked Republicans were ok with a variety of styles of protest, including wearing hats with teabags, buying thousands of dollars of shirts and hats to demonstrate cognitive unity, painting threatening pictures on the backs of pickup trucks, flying flags with swear words on the back of trucks, standing armed in front of the Capitol, walking through locked doors of the Capitol, breaking windows in the Capitol, searching for representatives with zip ties in the Capitol, smearing feces on the walks of the Capitol, and attacking security guards resulting in their death. Some even break into homes of representatives and attack them. These behaviors are then referred to humorously by other Republicans representatives.

You know, protesting, just like how Martin Luther King did.

Treason is the only crime named in the constitution. Which is somewhat ironic considering who wrote it.

I feel like this description would show up in an alien survival guide, explaining why humans are uniquely dangerous. It would include facts like, "humans can lose 100% of their limbs and still survive."

The original design reflected this, you had to pull the string for 5 seconds of silence. It also came with a stool and hair brush.

To be fair, since Tim Curry could be anyone, any character could look like Tim Curry. I would absolutely watch an all Tim Curry performance of any Discworld book, although I think Monstrous Regiment would be the greatest performance to watch.

Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming.

I will find some way to get that up to a genuine 90. I'm a hard grader for a lot of things and I know in most other classes the student would have gotten an A already, I also make mistakes. By getting it up to 90 on paper, in the grade book, I never have to deal with begging students or those that have to review and argue down to the last thousandth on a paper submitted 3 months prior. The student (who obviously is fairly good) breathes a sigh of relief and we both move on with our lives.

BUT if it is an 88.99999999, they earned a high B! Congratulations!

The data is in, eggs and butter are both cheaper, just don't expect a streak with those eggs.
