We got freezing cold and AZ got kittens? I feel cheated.
Doing stuff naked? Did you changed job without telling us AZ?

Hot enough to cook an egg on the sidewalk? I'm unimpressed. We cook four course meals up here, including fried ice cream on the sidewalk. BEAT THAT!!!!Hey now! Watch it with that "southern softies" talk. You may be used to living in a frozen wasteland, but this southerner lived with summers hot enough to cook eggs on the sidewalk. Ain't nothing soft about that.
Southern softies! I'll be grabbing my skies and heading over there as soon as I stop pressing the darn snooze-button.Oh please, don't tell me you're another one of those silly northeasteners who actually thinks their summer is worse that a New Orleans summer? Not possible.
Although, with all that concrete, you do have a good heat sink. But that's one big difference right there. You folks enclosed all your rats and gators down under your streets. We let ours run loose and steal small children (the rats, not the gators).
That's right we put them in the sewers. They're down there getting stronger. One day they will rise up, arm themselves with archaic weaponry, and fight crime!!
We got freezing cold and AZ got kittens? I feel cheated.I'd actually prefer the freezing cold, I think. The only good kitten is a dissected one.
heresy. If I get that cat setting right on this thing, I'm sending them to your house to liv . You will be re-educated to serve our feline overlords.
If the children are being that obnoxious, then clearly they aren't getting regular nightly beatings from their parents.
Of course not. These are the kids whose parents show up at conferences, disregard all the emails and reports you've sent about "Little Suzy is disruptive and inattentive in class and has turned in exactly one assignment all semester" and ask you "Why do you hate my precious little angel, and why won't you give better than a D?"

Really, sitting in the teachers' lounge is a lot like hanging out in a GM thread.

I have no problem with impartial recordings. It will cut down the stupidity on both sides.

"My players don't think I drop enough hints."
"Same with my students! You'd think saying "Test Friday," writing it on the board all week, giving a study guide Wednesday and a review day Thursday would get the point across."
"Yeah, I finally just had the BBEG straight up tell them to go to this town or an NPC would die."
"Did they?"
"Nope."
"Yeah mine didn't study either."
They're both worth it, though.

But that's disruptive to the child's ego development, here let me link you to this heavily-one-sided report that supports all of my arguments without ever touching on the counter-replies!

Pfffffffffnoitwon't
I'd be in trouble for violations of privacy, and the kids would start messing with the camera/recorder as soon as they figured out where it was. And the parents that aren't parenting still wouldn't parent.

Was visiting a friend who has both. The seven-month old apparently was the friendliest she'd ever been while I was there...and their antisocial cat who hates everyone would not go more than two feet from me the entire time.

Dunno about the baby, but I think the cat can sense allergies a mile away.
Not to mention, being from Louisiana, I've got voodoo on my side. Anybody messes with me I sacrifice chicken, make a voodoo doll, and you spend several hours trying to explain to the police why you stripped Nekkid in a public library and tried to have sex with the Dewey Decimal System.
Apart from us using a different system for sorting, makes me remember library university.

She's moved to America?
Good riddance and apologies for fobbing her off on you.

Voodoo, explaining oneself to police or having sex with sorting system part?

I still support the idea, and would support it if it came down to a vote. Too many idiot kids acting like idiots that should be expelled(still haven't forgotten the beat down I got in jhs when the teachers weren't looking) , too many idiot teachers acting like idiots that deserve to get fired(even if not fired, my high school teachers inappropriate meltdown after either a divorce or something bad in his personal life much might have been funny to watch years later).

That talk about Voodoo made me turn on Godsmack.

I'm certified for secondary - 6th-12th grade.

for a moment there, I thought you were surrounding yourself with your hated foes. What are you, a ranger or something?

Nah, those require a decent wisdom. I'm totally a bard.
Also, the world's longest cat passed away today. He was 48.5 inches long. That's one long kitty. I'm sure he is causing all sorts of trouble in the happy hunting grounds, where his length gives him an unfair advantage over the other cats.

"In real life, Liszt took up with Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein in 1848. In this film, she is a maniacal dominatrix bat-demon with inverted crosses dangling from her nipples."
Because... the seventies were frickin' insane‽
Double also, the iron is no longer a monopoly piece. It has been replaced by a cat.
"Wagner gloats that his music will bring forth "a man of iron, to forge the shattered fragments of this century into a nation of steel". He grows fangs, bites Liszt on the neck, sucks his blood, then snogs his daughter Cosima. The real Cosima Liszt left her husband for Wagner, though it didn't happen like this and nobody was a vampire."
"The pope is a little beardy bloke with a heavy Scouse accent. Good grief. The pope is Ringo Starr."
"Wagner – dressed, in a painful literalisation of Friedrich Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, as Superman, complete with red cape – strums an electric guitar and sings about restoring the Teutonic godhead. Like Dr Frankenstein, he has created a monster. It is Rick Wakeman (who himself created the monstrous prog-rock soundtrack), done up as Thor."
What on earth is this from?
EDIT: Nevermind, found the link.
And I left out the bit where Liszt (in a space-ship) blows up a resurrected and dressed-as-Hitler Wagner at the end of the film.

Sympathetic vibes Scint.
My wife is also a teacher, although she is certified for K-8, she prefers the 1-3 range. (Smaller, easier to control) :)
When we married, my wife was firmly against any and all forms of corporeal punishment. She was a teacher all of a week and a half when she came home, dropped her purse, looked at me and said,...
"I believe in spanking."
Thanks. I really think it'd be a lot easier if I was a full teacher rather than just a sub right now. When you're in a room a day at a time, you don't really have anything other than the old "You will obey me because I am an adult" working for you. And that doesn't work so well when you havee the opposite of an intimidating frame.

Good job selling the film.
Again, condolences. Both I and my wife are not winning any tall contests. And even though she has 16 years of experience, when she has to Sub, (Jobs are a pain to get right now) she is hardly the intimidating type of teacher. ;P
I was actually going to get a teaching cert as well, had taken all of my classes, and was ready to student teach. (This was WAY back during my first fiasco, er marriage) That was when I started subbing to earn a little extra money. Quickly decided that I had no desire to deal with the little,... children. :)
My Ex on the other hand, was 6' tall (and the shortest one in her family) And when she subbed she wore 4' spike heel boots. Didn't help, one smart-@$$ HS-er has NO idea how close he came to wearing that spike. ;P

It's all allegorical.

I considered going into teaching for a while, back when I first dropped out of college.
It was learning a little about the politics of schools and their administrations and the issues of dealing with the parents that convinced me that I wouldn't be a good fit for the job.
If I could just teach (was going for high school music) and not have to deal with the rest of that nonsense I'd be 100% for it.

Heh. I can be intimidating, but it's a rare thing when you're under 5'.
I've only ever lost my temper once at students - they had me as the sole teacher managing spillover from assessments - watching about 200 middle school kids in the auditorium (who were told to bring a book to read, I think ...ten did), and I'd broken up the beginnings of a fight about three times and separated them. They'd started up again and were going down the laundry list of excuses. Finally just stopped the nice friendly voice and yelled loud enough that the other end of the room could hear to sit down and knock it off. Mad enough that I felt myself growling.
Making things better? This was right around Halloween, and I heard at least one student mutter "Sub's a werewolf..."
Thankfully, that was about the point the principal realized that the veteran drama teacher who was supposed to be there had a freshmeat just graduated substitute instead alone with the wolves and sent someone in to help.

All that said, I do like subbing. I'd prefer teaching for real, but I take what I can at the moment.
And if nothing else, it gives me stories.

I have a feeling I'm going to make up a bingo card at my first conference.

Don't forget Casual -ism! Always happens, and it counts if I hear it in reference to someone other than me as well!
That's column G. It was N in development, but -ism comes up far too often to use the column partially eclipsed by the Free square.
