Now, what could you make with an ultrasound rectal probe, a light-emitting tube, bicycle helmets, protective clothing, a huge tub of Vaseline, and a wheelbarrow?

One hell of a Saturday night?

So, the school district I teach in gave out buckets in case of a lockdown to new teachers. If there is a lockdown, no one can enter or leave classrooms until it is lifted. This is their solution to if kids need to go to the bathroom. shit bucket.

Veteran teachers already have their own buckets?

That's craxy. OTOH, now you can threaten to take away their bucket.

BTW, Kat, I think it was you that had a favourite website for buying tights. Do you have a link?

I am alone in my office today, I'm listening to hip hop pretty loudly, and I'm pondering what to do for lunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG bucket.

I mean, I'm sure it sounds wonderful and elegant to some, but ew. I'll be left with cheese and crackers. Faantastic.

Seriously, you can go ahead and send me all of the leftover any of those!

I could pull out the amorous porpoises joke if Jesse is being insufficiently entertained.

I'm still scared. Or scarred. Anyway, my minion just came in saying she basically couldn't think of anything useful to do, so we wasted some time talking turkey. Literally. She's doing Thanksgiving at her house.

Dunno. I think veteran teachers are more likely to tell the kid to go outside, lockdown be damned. The best part? They were given at a required conference that new teachers went to on a Saturday and the shit bucket was given out at the first session. So the new folks had to carry the bucket around for hours and hours. On their day off.

Sue, it is Sock Dreams.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

A bucket!?! On one hand, if there was an apocalypse and all the bathrooms in the world got wiped out, I would be happy to have it, but I don't think I could go in front of students until it was a true emergency!

I get to have turkey on Sunday, at our Drama House Thanksgiving. And sure, it is college kids cooking the sides, but we cater the turkey so we don't get salmonella, and it is gooooood.
