What did he think you thought about Pompeii?

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.
Hon, YOUR peers? The papyrus thing alone. But Pompeii is good for snickering over drinks after the trial is done.

We'd mentioned that the Google StreetView of Pompeii was a nice way to augment history lessons for kids who were studying Pompeii.
He said "If you know anything about history, you'd know that you should be wary of showing that to kids."
It took us a bit to parse what he meant. I said "I don't think most of the penis graffiti is visible anymore..." so he patiently explained the whole volcano thing.
After a moment of stunned silence one of my team said, "Dude, "killed by volcano" is second only to "eaten by dinosaurs" in getting kids to engage with history."

He obviously knows nothing about kids. But it does remind me of the tour guide at the Edward Gorey museum having to explain to one of the other tourists that no, most kids are not traumatized by The Gashlycrumb Tinies.
No jury of my peers in the world...
I have it on good authority that you've been in Wisconsin when this guy "disappears."
The filled-in concrete corpses alone in Pompeii got me hooked for good on archeology. Well, that and the penis graffiti.
Pompeii was definitely one of the most amazing places I have ever seen in my life.

Dude, 9th grade Italian class, Mr. Whatsisname didn't realize until too late that he'd put in the real slide carousel from his vacation instead of the sanitized-for-14-year-olds one? Hooked me on everything from history to Italian to technology in the classroom.

I'm still not entirely sure I'm parsing what he meant. Is there supposed to be something about volcanos that would offend tender sensibilities? (I mean, sure, if you dropped one in.) Or is he not aware it's been excavated and thinks it's a fake?
Have repaired washing machine.
You are my hero! I don't suppose the dryer got itself straightened out, too?
Yeah I am really boggled about the volcano.
ita, is the toothpaste thing Tom`s? Because I have been thwarted in my search for travel size Tom`s, which makes me sad. And my teeth feel weird and foamy with any other toothpaste.
