You know you're an ugly kid if the scary guy in the white van is suddenly out of candy.

He suddenly found his missing puppy?

[ClemmonsDevil]

He suddenly found his missing puppy?

Yep.

[ClemmonsDevil]

Isn't that what you paid her for?

Honestly I would be a good target for them. It won't hurt at all and it won't chew up a ton of time.

Wait, are we will talking about puppies and candy?

Little legal tip: while prostitution is legal in much of Nevada, it is NOT legal in Clark County where Vegas is located.

Not that you would while in Vegas of course. Just a good fact to know.

Ummm...Candi sounds about right.

Cardi?

[OldPhiKap]

My students and I just finished reading The Princess Bride and, as is proper, we are now watching the movie together.
Man, that one never gets old. It makes me misty every time. I think it's truly an American masterpiece, beyond just film. It's a work of art.

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Is this apropos of something?

I had to memorize a classic poem in 7th grade and chose this one because it was fairly short. It is one of the half dozen or so poetry stanzas I can still recite, so I am always pleased when it comes up.


Though I never could figure out how somebody who couldn't spell tiger and chose to rhyme 'eye' with 'symmetry' could be considered a genius!

I think they use to rhyme at one point in history.

HA! Casinos will not be deprived of your cash, despite your good intentions.

I definitely read the cover letters when hiring. Can this person communicate effectively? Do they state real ideas or just a bunch of jargon? Are there mistakes in spelling or subject/object agreement? Do they use apostrophes and other detailed punctuation correctly? Do they have an unusual or unique tie to our location or clients? Do they sound like someone that I would like to work with for several years?

Indeed. Cover letters are revealing. There are many well educated (on paper) people who simply can’t write well, and for a number of jobs this poses a plethora of problems.

Good point. Perhaps I can find a way to go back and ask my 7th grade self why he insists on pronouncing the final syllable of 'symmetry' as 'tree' and not 'try'?

Do they have a plethora of piñatas?
