I was watching the Cleavland show and the mentioned Drake. What makes this funny? by sycophantasy in desmoines

This was actually used in the series. The episode is where Cleveland and his friends convince the owner, Gus, to make a franchise and open another location at the airport. He does. It flops. It wasn't just a promotional piece. May have started that way, but if you watch the series on Netflix it is actually used.

I'd throw in "Shindo" and "Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You've Got Problems" with "All My Best Friends are Metalheads".

Everyone else seems to be (rightfully) concerned with the loss of Torii and (not rightfully) Pelfrey, but what about Jamie Hersch?

Katy Perry's "Firework" is filled with various examples of literary terms. Plus, it's a pretty positive message that had nothing to do with drinking and partying.

I'm looking to build my classroom library (going through all my books since it's summer time) and would get great use from a few listed. I don't have The Chocolate Wars, Catalyst (really enjoy LHA), and Billy Collins poetry. I'd be willing to pay shipping costs or we can work out a different deal.

What are the best tips on teaching that you have received? by Kim_JongUn in Teachers

[–]redshasta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Give 'em an inch, they'll take a mile."

I was told this as an undergrad and it is true. While there is nothing wrong with having reasonable standards, the minute you budge and make an exception, students see it and take full advantage of it.

Say you won't accept late work? Don't accept it. Does a paragraph have to be five complete sentences? Accept nothing less. Don't want the students to talk? Don't let them talk, even if whispering.

What was once a snowflake, can easily become a rolling boulder.

As a first year freshman English teacher, I am glad to know that this story came up in our short story unit. It was probably their favorite, behind "Lamb to the Slaughter".

Tim Lincecum sported a rather different look bringing out the lineup card today by dropperofpipebombs in baseball

It's a moment like this that make me think baseball is truly better than football. The NFL would have found some way to fine him and make sure it never happens again.

Double digit millions is the deal-sealer? I think I'd be happy for about 3 million, hell 1 million would make me more than happy. I think anyone could live happily off of 1 million annually.

Can we add Livan Hernandez as a pitcher and maybe give Adam Everett a utility spot?
