'Lessons'
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.

I think it's funny that they use "four static PowerPoint slides" and "express your creativity" in the same notion.
Commercial for 1970s game: "Ball Buster"
Announcer (who sounds like he's polished off a couple of hi-balls): "The name of the game is Ball Buster. It's a family game. Fun for children." And for adults it's exciting. You make strategic offensive and defensive movements. Then try to bust your opponents balls."
From the WFMU blog post:
One of the strange things about getting older is that you can't tell if some of those childhood memories you had were real, or just excited kids fever dreams. I had this problem a few days ago when I was trying to describe to an old friend about a TV ad I used to see for a board game where the dad yells out "You're a ball buster!" Did I make that up? Well, I can't actually prove the real things that happened to me (did I actually see the boy next door dressed in women's clothes and pretending to hump a telephone pole when I was ten?), but thanks to the interweb, I can now prove my sanity vis a vie those tee vee memories. And so...here is "Ball Buster".
Haven't actually watched the clip, as I'm at work....

It's from the FotC link I posted! Ou est la bibliotheque?
Je suis le president de Burundi.
Mon nom est Thomas.
I didn't watch that clip, but have seen other FotC stuff, and here's what's weird: Someone I had just met suggested I would like them, and she was totally right! I mean, just weird that she knew me in a semi-work context for about three hours, and had me totally pegged.
A new study from the National School Boards Association suggests strongly that the overwhelming majority of kids have never had an unknown adult ask them for personal information.
