Quality educators have been driven to the brink by rotten students.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2009 -> 10:28 AM) Now what was the best prank you had pulled on you Flaxx? One class in high school decided to take turns humming during a lecture and it was infuriating. You can see who's talking and correct them, but try to figure out which three of four kids are humming out of a class of 30. Aargh!

The unnecessary mental suffering the woman was put through from this mistake is undeniable, but if it was me in the grand scheme of things I'd sure rather find out that my kid wasn't dead after all, regardless of what sort of compensation a lawyer was able to get for me.

Make sure the new teacher stays on his toes!

Knowledge is Power, Tex. . . and now you know why I don't teach high school anymore!

Damn, I miss good tapas down here.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) Ok, I give up. What is Google Wave? Basically, it's a collaborative online document creation application with built-in realtime dialoging capability.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 01:03 PM) Well, eliminate the following: Sushi, vegetarian, Indian/Pakistani, Pizza, Italian, Mexican/Latin. Not what I am looking for and/or one of us won't eat it and/or something we do too often. Also, no chains. So the S&M Cafe is out of the running then?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 10:09 AM) Can you recommend some of the teas from there? I love their Rooibos and White tea selections, and those work well hot or cold, but usually when I go in I ask Maria or Randy (both biologists turned tea snobs) to make me something I like. If you know the types of teas she likes, I'd just trust the descriptions on the website and take a chance.

Forget Chicago. . . These guys are great friends of mine and run a fabulous tea shop with the best selection of loose tea you've ever seen in your life. The also have a lot of nice samplers and everything is now available for online shopping.

Chicago never went 11 rounds into a shootout before. . . interesting stat.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 11:23 PM) Only 4? Thread starters don't count.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 10:52 PM) Check with your own bank about financing before you go in so you don't have to play that game at the dealership. ^^ Very good advice.

Ain't the type to pile on or else I'd point out the xylophone on this track as well:

Isaac could mix the hell out of a boat drink, baby.

Yeah, well 3:20 into this one I'd say blows that convenient theory:

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Very sad that my Supertramp reference got glossed over. Watch what you say now we're calling you a radical. A liberal. Fanatical, criminal??

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 03:08 PM) Leg humping really isn't that bad. Tell those awful people to quit staring. Mostly it depends on the legs.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 03:56 PM) I've never heard of 10 of 'em. I actually like Muse quite a bit. They had one song that my son played a lot that really knocked me out. Don't know the name of it. Because you were knocked out?

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 09:24 AM) Every year that passes without Chicago mentioned I vomit in rage. I don't believe there's any question the Red Hot Chili Peppers will make it. I wouldn't mind seeing The Hollies in, either. Chicago would be in if they had stopped recording in 1978 after Terry Kath died and they stopped working with their original producer. Everything from Hot Streets and later is a blight on the absolutely phenomenal band Chicago was prior to that time.

Keep it Greasy!
