I should be putting together a lesson plan for teaching about polar coordinates -- but I really have no good ideas for polar coordinates.
Use a radar-screen analogy?
I think we spent a week or so in one of my calculus classes on polar coordinates.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I know, Jesse. That doesn't mean I don't wish for A Tale on occasion. And I don't mean porn. Mostly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, sure, I hear that. Of course, if the main event in my weekend has been porny, I have the same answer at work on Monday!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I watched TV. I read fanfic. I went to the ER. I never have anything to say.
Okay, why was there a puddle of butter in my desk, and why was my phone in it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Right. I can't imagine being able(or wanting to, really) unload that stuff at work. Where they see me all the time. And might not need to picture certain things about me. The same reason I didn't tell attendant stories at college, really. (Although I do on occasion feel truly burdened by American squeamishness in re bodily functions.)

How can they release WWI era secrets of the CIA when it didn't exist until after WWII? Are the CIA secret possessors of a time machine?

Bwah! Too bad that's not quite COMMable, because it's certainly worthy.
