One of those other bands is Fair to Midland, who have a bit of a following.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
As for Shakespeare, our school, some of the 9th grade classes did R&J, but the one I happened to be in, did not. Not that I mind, as I never have had any use for teen movies, I don't care who wrote 'em. Sorry Billy, not even you. 10th grade was Ceasar, which was interesting to read but killer to write about. 11th grade we got various sonnets, the Scottish Play, and Hamlet. 12th is when things got interesting. The AP class got Lear, Othello, and several of the comedies.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
I bet if you spin it that way, they'd be more open to it.
I agree; however, it tends to be a little like "Crazy drama teacher suggested it so, even though she has data to back it up, it automatically is a stupid idea and we won't look into it." I tried to bring back dual-enrollment Humanities this year and they blocked me at every turn.

You know, I can't remember if we studied any Shakespeare in high school. We may have, but I barely remember anything we read. Well, other than American Lit, which we seemed to have an awful lot of. I remember House of Seven Gables, Ethan Frome, the Crucible, The Scarlet Letter, some westerns (we had a choice between Big Man, Little Man and something else which I don't remember any more.) Actually, I think we did something in my freshman year, it might have been Merchant of Venice when I think back.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
he he ... I remember in my intellectually challenged high school we were reading Julius Caesar and, rather than have to listen to the barely-literate try to stumble through the reading, the teacher put on a recording of actors reading it (with added emotion!). That's when I discovered that we were using the Bowlderized version ... 'cause Brutus's wife tells him to come to bed.

I am brilliant. I scheduled a meeting with my coworker just prior to my weekly meeting from hell.
In the spa room.
With alcohol.
I don't think we'll give a shit what is said in WMfH.
