Avast, ye bilge rats and scurvy dogs! Almost my whole office be talkin' like a pirate! (Bitchy!sort-of!boss hates pretty much everything, and, upon asking why there were Jolly Rogers taped to people's desks, said, "That's stupid." Ah, she's a breath of fresh air, she is.)
OK, one more scary fact about spiders.
Spiders will tell you they'll look out for your interests, but then they'll still vote for corporate tax cuts.
Spiders won't vote for tax bonds to improve public schools, either.
Giving spiders the vote was, in retrospect, not the best idea.

Catching up -- Does Fay's student remind anyone else of Neville Longbottom?
Arrrrr.
One spider saved a pig.
A spider bit my llama once...
Happy Anniversary, Plei!!
I just read the school announcements... Talk Like a Pirate Day made it on the list.
I love your stories about your students, Fay. I seriously think you should write a book about adventures in teaching.

Then did she ask if you wanted coffee in it?
Congratulations on finishing the book, Hec!
All the dirt you find on uncarpeted floors has been ground into the carpet for years. Yuck. (Swiffering helps with the uncarpeted floors.) I wear socks around the house and figure I'm cleaning the floor.
I normally save spiders' lives, but a brown recluse bite can be really nasty. I recommend smushing it with boot.
Avast, ye latte-swilling dogs! I'll have your livers for lunch.

Ahoy there, mateys! I be thinking it should be Talk Like a Pirate Week in Teppy's office, for the purpose of uplifting the spirits of all those strugglin' under the perilous burdon of working for her scabrous lubber of a boss. Grog all 'round!

More than one spider has trapped and eaten more than one scorpion. Wins lotsa points in my book.

Before I move in with The Boy, he has to pull up his carpet, for this very reason. He's had 2 dogs and an average of 3 cats in that house for the past 5 years, and the carpet is NASTY. Plus, all the embedded pet hair and dander would very nearly kill me, quite literally.
He has hardwood floors under the carpet -- they aren't as nice as they could be, but with some TLC, they'll be just fine, and the house will be a hell of a lot cleaner and the pet smell will be gone.
Emily! I would love to hear stories about your students talking like pirates in class.
