If Aimee did it, she'd smile pretty like Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise.
It's a real burden being right so often.

[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.

Hey. New board.
Math lesson idea for the new, small performing arts school I'm interviewing for: in trying to understand the meaning of slope, use musical scales/arpeggios. An arpeggio with a large slope may only hit the octaves, and will cross the keyboard in very few steps. Smaller slopes will go all the way down to a chromatic scale, which takes a very long time to cross the keyboard. By going the other way down the keyboard, and listening, students can see the relationship between positive slopes and their equivalent negatives.
Cool? Silly?
I'm so nervous for this interview, guys.

Aimee, I'm glad you and Chris were safe under the desk. What, exactly, did the bank manager think you were going to do?
Peace ~ma for AnotherAlaskan and family.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Actually you'd be required to explain both definitions.
Is it okay if we dwell on one more than the other?
Robbed bank is very cool. In a no-don't-do-that sort of a way.
I hope everything goes as calmly as possible for AnotherAlaskan.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
What, exactly, did the bank manager think you were going to do?
Cover my boobies and run after the guy.
Pffft. Right. Obviously he's not a Chris Isaak fan.

So, I was copying and pasting from b.org to Word, to pass on what folks had to say to AnotherAlaskan, and ended up with different fonts from Natter (Verdana) and Bitches (Times Roman). Huh.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Or explain what a crumpet is.
It's an English muffin foetus.

The BBC has a very nice FAQ about the Creative Archive project and the related iMP here. (And yes, it's only for UK residents - it's really just an extension of the TV licence - and yes, users are granted access based on their IP address. Which, yes, means that people who haven't paid a TV license but have UK IP addresses will probably be able to freeload. And also means that expats who have paid their licence are screwed.)

Oh. Chris Isaak. On my To Do list. Yum. YUM. I
Gris, that's a VERY good idea. One of the factors in my hiring at a mostly Latino school was that I chose a Neruda poem for my sample lesson, and brought it in in Spanish and English. So, showing interdepartmental goodness is wise. (Although they acted like I was GENIUS for thinking of a biling lesson, and it kinds seemed a gimme to me...)
