Jerry Beer should get the Red Stripe spokesman to campaign for him. Hooray Beer!!
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The future of air travel, as imagined by Braniff Air in the 1960's. Robot dry cleaners & video phones for all!
Genius! I love that future. It has mood enhancers on command and penlight headache removers. Plus shiny jumpsuits.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Judges here apparently get agreed on rather than actually elected, so it always makes me laugh when there are the same names on all the different party lines. Especially on off-years when they are the only people to vote for. So many choices! You can vote for any party you like!

This supersonic flight was arranged by Braniff International, to show you what are future is going to be like.
Actually, Braniff went bust less than five years after this was made.

Braniff was the first airline I flew on, going from Oregon to Goosebay, Labrador. I had steak with sauteed mushrooms for the first time on that flight. Mmmmm.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Girding my loins. The guy who posted condescendingly in my LJ is back. Now I have to go read what he said, which is probably going to piss me off.
I need to concentrate on the pretty skirt I just bought instead.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hee. Did people discuss/mention the Cruise apology? Huh. Not making me a fan by any definition, but better to apologize than not.
Yes. But strongly suspect he realized how much his antics have affected his public image. Or maybe he actually has some experience with PPD with Katie and the baby and realizes what an ass he really was.
Sounds like BS very graciously accepted the apology, too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, I'm giving up. People apparently haven't decided to study the effects of high-stakes testing on other measures of achievement. I need a new topic.
Anyone have an idea for a "the effects of x on y" topic related to education that people will have actually studied?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Effects of birth order on behavior? Effects of one-parent households on academics? Effects of participating in a music program on future achievement?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Debet, is this for a research or a stats class? I looked at the effects of same-sex schools on student achievement. Lots of stuff, and it's pretty interesting, but the Magic 8ball says "Nothing conclusive."
