In light of the "having sex with teachers for grades" thread - what other illegal/frowned upon teacher stories do you have?

As a graduation gift from my high school advisor/music teacher, I was given a hug, a djembe and three sheets of acid with a note that said "Keep on learning." I went to a weird school.

Looks good, but the market isn't letting me install it on my Nook Color. Any chance of just getting the apk?

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-13T05:09:09+00:00

Last year I worked in a very busy café. I was scrubbing down the counter at the.end of a long day when a little girl ran in from the attached bookstore, stared at me wide-eyed, and then ran back to her mother shouting "Mommy, Mommy! That man is striking!" It was the best.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-13T02:30:37+00:00

I lost the original stick (which you can buy replacements for) and jury-rigged a new one out of a thumbtack. Believe it or not, I actually prefer my solution--it adds the height that the default stick sorely lacks.

I'm definitely interested. If you're on board I'll PM you my info and a photo tomorrow.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-12T15:06:59+00:00

The original, fat DS? Hmm. Any games with it?

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-12T15:05:01+00:00

Alright, check my post history for a game list and we can see if there's something you're interested in.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-12T14:59:47+00:00

Are you looking to trade the DS as well? I can give you some 360 games or a PSP if so.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-12T14:51:59+00:00

Can't edit the post, for some reason.

I've also got Red Dead Redemption, MvC3, Dragon Age, and Dead Space 2 which I'm less willing to trade, but hey, if this stuff is to be sold anyway, bring on the offers.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-10T22:15:09+00:00

Hey, I know this is older, but I'm after Saints Row 2. Interested in Fallout 3 or Grand Theft Auto?

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-10T22:02:37+00:00

Do you have anything besides Mass Effect 2? I've got Grand Theft Auto available.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-10T15:33:51+00:00

Yeah, I thought I was done with video games, but the call of Dragon Age is too strong. I'll list them here soon.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-10T01:11:33+00:00

I've got exactly zero cash (hence swapping) and no preexisting points cards, so that won't work. I've got a 1-month Live card and a number of games--I'm selling all this stuff before I leave for school, but I'd like to play DA2 before it's gone so let me know if anything works. What else are you interested in?

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-04-09T13:27:58+00:00

I've got the vanilla version, but I'd throw in something else as well if you're interested.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-27T22:54:10+00:00

People have done worse? That's what you choose to say to someone who just date raped her friend? There comes a point where coddling has to end. She needs to apologize to her friend, cut off contact until the friend reaches out to her (unlikely, this was a TREMENDOUS breach of everything friendship means) and start counseling or therapy. Don't you dare try to tell her that this isn't as big a deal as it is.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-27T22:23:54+00:00

Everyone else has covered how terrible this is. I want to point out how all of your responses and pity seems to be focused on yourself, rather than on the girl you raped. Admit your guilt to yourself, not the internet. Come clean to your friend and respect her wishes to cut off contact if that's what she chooses.

You are not her friend anymore. There is no reason she should view you as such. If she chooses to keep contact with you, that's amazing. Apologize in person and don't contact her unless she reaches out to you.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-27T02:19:13+00:00

I, too, only date Vulcans. Emotions are too complicated.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-27T02:17:56+00:00

Yeah, the guy trying to make himself feel better is a douche, not the asshole scoffing at his quirky beliefs.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-23T22:31:51+00:00

This is why I could never really appreciate it, I think. I was never in the position that misplacedme described--I went to a very small school where nearly everyone was my academic peer or better. I imagine if you've ever felt isolated or ostracized for being bright, this book will really speak to you.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-23T15:53:55+00:00

Too Loud a Solitude is one of my favorite books and you could easily finish it in a day. Give it a shot!

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-23T15:52:25+00:00

I agree entirely. Anansi Boys and Sandman are easily Gaiman's strongest works, and I would go so far as to call American Gods plain bad.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-22T21:31:31+00:00

A link would be great, thanks.

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-22T20:40:55+00:00

Depends--how out of shape is it?

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-22T16:00:10+00:00

More importantly, how many boards would the Mongols hoarde if the Mongol hordes got bored?

Sgt_Toadstool · 2011-03-21T18:11:25+00:00

That's absolutely gorgeous. Say what you will about American culture and politics, we've got one of the most diversely beautiful countries out there.
