GO EM! That's really cool, Aimee.

I really appreciated it when teachers did this

So know what I did earlier tonight? Threadsucked the F2F2 thread and read the lead-up to the DC F2F. I hadn't met any of you then, which just seems bizarre to me. It was fun to read. I have also determined that I was much wittier back then.

She tucks them in, says, "G'night Ba-man. G'night Soopman."

And then she makes them kiss each other.

Hee! Wow, so DCU is going to be her first slash fandom?

And look at the various Buffista babies, with the writing and the signing of things. Neat!

It's looking like. Unless I start sharing the Remus/Sirius stuff with her.

Sigh. I'm reading about elementary school math programs. (Long story -- started out as looking up the program that a girl I might be tutoring uses, then started getting interested and reading about others.) One of the ones that gets a lot of press is Saxon Math -- it's a much more traditional approach than a lot of the others currently popular. And the word problems tend to be kind of fanciful things -- like, if there are five gnomes in the vegetable garden, and six gnomes in the rose garden, how many gnomes are there altogether? Anyway, I just found a page with someone objecting to this program because some of the word problems around the upper elementary and middle school levels involve medieval weaponry, and that's clearly a scheme to bring kids into playing D&D, which is just a front for devil worship.

(I remember in fourth grade, we'd keep a count of how many names from each ethnicity turned up in word problems in each chapter. It was exactly the same count in each chapter. Even at age nine, we thought this was incredibly condescending, that they thought we'd all be racists if we didn't have a perfectly balanced math book. I'm not sure that was the reasoning, but that was how we all interpreted it.)

automatic weapons don't lead to devil worship

I knew Batman was gay (hello! Boy Wonder!!) But Superman!?! OMG!

I think Supes goes both ways.

Really really fast.

So if Superman can travel so fast that he goes back in time, he could travel back in time and have sex with himself....

Just so I could watch.

(Particularly if it were Welling/Reeves)

o god, what have I started?

hey, random question. Is CSI/Police not allowed to turn on the lights? Seems they use flashlights an awful lot. (can you guess what I'm watching right now?)

no, they lead to Doom, and Devil pwnership.
