Good bit of trivia that.

Check out the wood!

Very cool, but I wish they were putting together a whole new album. Maybe if they get along for these sessions . . . I agree the Replacements are awesome. It will be good to hear what they come up with on these new tracks.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 11:17 AM) The best resignation letter on the web. Funny, but fake. Versions of this letter have been circulating for 5 years according to Snopes: http://www.snopes.com/humor/letters/zantex.asp

Surprise of the day -- I agree with those who say there is a problem with the profanity aspect of the bumper sticker in question, if not the message. Even before I had kids, I always cringed at profanity written/said in public places. Man, I hope my kids don't find this board while surfing around! And we'll never know if the cop would have pulled her over for a non expliive-laden equivalent of the same sentiment – "I voted for Gore/Kerry," "Bushwhacked Again," etc. My favorite borderline obscene anti-Bush bumper stickers were the "Lick Bush in (insert year here)". They were veiled enough that kids didn't see any obscenity I think.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 30, 2006 -> 07:51 AM) I don't know how this story hasn't made to POTM till now, but I was roaring with laughter. Texsox's opening post in the "Spring Break Over" thread: That's pure humor. Priceless!

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) ha...a fan-made film basically. Studio allowed them to make it R rated because of fan interest. Now if fans showed this much interests for other movies before they even come out. Put Sam Jackson and an assload of snakes into every movie and there would be interest.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 07:32 PM) Otherwise a teacher could just pick final drafts from the brightest kids, who would've excelled under positive or negative guidance. True to a degree, but just seeing the type of assignments given is an important glimpse into the kind of teacher somebody is. Are the assignments just busy work, or asking for linear thinking at best, or do they stretch the student to think critically and from multiple perspectives, etc. . .

I agree with all of the above, especially not selling yourself short - your students shined on that project because you made it an engaging, challenging and rewarding project. Stressing to the students whose work you'd like to show off that it is a) anonymous and B) saying a lot about their own achievement, I can't foresee there being much objection. Just be honest with them and use it if they allow it.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 09:36 AM) Ain't no thing but a chicken wing on a string. Bennett and York both have an ideological axe to grind in trying to prove domestic wiretapping as not a violation of the law. It seems that York is taking a ruling to a specific case about an appeal for a FISA warrant and applying it to dozens if not hundreds of cases where warrants weren't even sought to begin with. The COA, if I'm following this discussion right issued a ruling on appeal on whether or not a warrant should have been issued. Not whether or not the warrant was even necessary. Am I wrong? That is my interpretation as well, based on what has been posted here.

Party like you mean it!

Ah, the many mysteries of the human hoo hoo. . .

Another journalistic coup for the Fox Braintrust. Does Hollywood Treat Albinos Worse Than Conservatives?!?

QUOTE(bmags @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 03:13 AM) when i first saw the title i was gonna make a joke about it but then i saw it was a joke and i was almost disappointed...sad. I'm just sad because I thought Iron Hymen was going to be a Jewish superhero. . .

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 24, 2006 -> 05:09 AM) I concur. This has been a great thread with great discussion. I think we are beginning to see a less contentious filibuster evolve. Let's hope it continues. Screw that noise!
