Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'm going to use a Santa Scottie dog and a stuffed tortoise to stage the dogfights from "White Fang" next week.

The Scottie dog is wearing a hat. Is that close enough?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Next Friday I have to give a ten-minute presentation. I'm thinking of showing the projector scene in "Hush" and discussing the elements of comedy and drama.

Education classes, as a whole, are idiotically easy, PC. If you manage to speak a coherent sentence, you are lauded as a genius.

Bitter that I spent 30,000 on this? NOOOOT me.

Excellent. Props of any kind are essential.

Actually, I have something you might enjoy reading, Erin. It's a speech I made at my mentor's retirement party (who was the Best Teacher Evah, no kidding), but it talks about the top three myths of teaching. Would you like to take a look? It's even mildy funny.

Yes! I really, really would!

Could you do me a favor, in a couple of weeks? Maybe look at my teaching resume, and cover letter and tell me how suitable you think it is? Give me feedback?

Email addy is good.

Heh. Yeah, most of it seems pretty intuitive, just things I'd never actually considered with any sort of focus.

I wanna read the speech too, Kristin! Especially if there are funny hats involved.

To be fair, I have learned useful things. BUT -- the ratio of useful things learned to hours wasted is about...1 to 9.

And the academic rigor involved? Don't make me laugh.

I will insend to both of you in a second. Keep in mind that it is written as a speech and for a very specific audience. (There are no funny hats, but it is kinda funny.)

Erin, I would be absolutely thrilled to look at your teaching resume and cover letter (profile addy good), but what is really going to sell you is your teaching portfolio. If you want me to look at any of that at any point as well, just let me know.

Won't understand the references to cheese in the hair of the guy in the front row. Check.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awww, Erin, I'm proud of you for dragging your sick ass and getting into work. I know that indolence is your natural state.
