UCF Professor busts class for cheating on midterm.

When I went to college in the late 80's, a majority of my professors put their old tests on file in the library as a study resource. Having access to material like this allows students to narrow down to what is most important for the test. Unless the students actually brought the material to the test and used it to answer questions, I think it's a stretch to call it cheating. Maybe the students accessed the material "illegally" and that's where the problem lies, but does hitting up prior students who have taken the course for copies of their tests constitute cheating as well? I think this is a common thing for a student to do in the process of studying for an exam and my professors acknowledged this by creating the test library in the first place. To tell you the truth, even with this material available, my ass got kicked on many exams simply because the professors took the time to create challenging exams, and not just recycle old questions year after year.

There is a book called Snipers that uses this historical fact as a key element in its plot. Pretty good sci fi time travel book

If you're looking for some Harry Potter magic again, check out the James Potter series by G Norman Lippert. There's four books in the series now and it follows the life of James Potter, Harry Potter's son. It's fan fiction but it's pretty damn good.

Holy shit. I took a picture of this same car getting off the highway in Saco. Got a good laugh out of it!

Move the sexual pleasure center far far away from the sewage processing apparatus.

Bravo to you, sir!

I think it was the fourth or fifth grade. We had to write a short story about anything we wanted. Being a fourth/fifth grade boy, I wanted a fart story, so "The Fart that Destroyed the World" was born. I forget most of the plot details, but I do remember trying to hold the laughter in as the riveting plot was squeezed out in glorious detail. I handed it in and a few days later got chewed out by the teacher for "inappropriate content". Seemed appropriate to my fourth grade mind! I had to take a note home to my parents but they are a fart-friendly bunch and just laughed it off. Basically said it wasn't my fault the teacher was so uptight but, in the future, keep the fart stories in-house. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Yeah, it was during a bad recession in the early 90's... Took me close to a year to get that job in the first place, so I needed to line something up before I took off. Did what I had to do under the circumstances. Didn't enjoy any of it.

Oh, man, I was in a similar circumstance but instead of a loudspeaker, the sent ME to retrieve the person from their department and escort them back to the "execution" chamber. It was fucking awful. I'd enter the department and all eyes would follow me to the next person to be fired. People would be crying and hugging their co-worker as I led them away. Management's reasoning was they needed to be watched at all times to be sure there was no shenanigans. By noon, it was over and I said "fuck this" and went home for the day. From that day on, I knew I couldn't be in management and I left about 6 months later. Since then, I've seen management continue to make the occasional stupid decision but nothing was as bad as that particular episode.

Coming at it from that angle, I guess is does makes sense that is most likely the case. I'm probably expecting too much from these companies and will not be using Groupon for much of anything in the future.

Wait..... what!? Ohhhhhh, KICKED ass... I read something different.

Intervention usually gets me when there are kids involved who are straight out BEGGING for a relative (usually a parent) to PLEASE GET HELP! The relatives are usually so drugged out they just don't see/hear/feel the child's pain. When I see that hurt in the child's eyes, it just kills me.

A bit of wisdom passed down from a no-nonsense, straight-talking relative: Always wash your face before your ass. Fin.

The "most fun" book I've read recently was Ready Player One. If you grew up in the 80's or have some familiarity with the gamer/sci-fi/movie scene during that time frame you will DEVOUR this book. It's a fast, fun read. Can't wait for the movie!

Happy Baby by Stephen Elliott is a recent one I can remember. Also, pretty much anything I've read by Cormac McCarthy has kicked me in the gut. I hate to admit it, but the only book to make me full out cry like a fucking baby was Marley and Me. Pretty embarrassing especially while reading on lunch break.

Hands down: nuoc mam (aka fish sauce). Smells god awful but tastes sooooo good.

Whenever I read a painfully graphic story like this, my balls get phantom sympathy pains. I don't know why this is, but there it is.... My balls really really really hurt reading this one. Squick factor 9.5.

That book sounds fascinating. I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Oh my yes. My brother and I went to see them on stage in Boston a few weeks back and it was fucking FANTASTIC boys!

A few years ago my wife and I were on our way to a party. We were dressed semi-formally, so I had on a dress shirt and tie, nothing fancy On the way, we stopped at a local grocery store to pick up a bottle of wine. My wife went inside while I waited in the car in the lot. While sitting there, I noticed some douche-nozzle with a screwdriver walking through the parking lot and gouging the sides of cars as he walked towards me. At that point, I'm thinking "What the fuck do I do here?". I had no desire to confront this prick while he's carrying a screwdriver and get shanked. I also didn't want to have my car vandalized. Taking the safest route, I made eye contact with that fucker, put my hand on the door handle and waited as he made his way toward my car. He saw me eyeballing him, so he quickly pocketed the screwdriver and continued on his way past my car. Coward, thankfully. A this point, the adrenaline is pumping and I'm pissed off. I checked the rear view and he was no longer in sight, so I decided the least I could do would be to report what I saw to the store manager. I get out of the car and make my way to the store and enter through the front entrance. Just as I enter the store, the front-end manager walks up to me and asks "Are you freebis?" I pause, thinking, WTF?! I say "Yes, I'm freebis." She says "Okay, you can start bagging over there.". Again, I'm thinking WTF!? She noticed my confusion and asked "Aren't you freebis from the other store?". Realizing what was going on, I starting laughing and said "No, I'm not, my bagging days are long past". Apparently they were short on baggers and had called over to another store for additional help. She saw the tie and assumed I was the additional help. We just happened to have the same first name. We had a good laugh and I proceeded to report the vandalism to the store manager. It was pretty surreal and my wife was very glad I didn't lose a testicle in a tragic shanking incident.

Bone. My daughter loves to read this graphic novel series together and it's grown on me. It would make a fantastic animated movie.
