My roommates and I have come up with a new epithet
…and it is “giblet.” Common usage: “Stop being such a ****ing giblet!” (HAPPY (almost) THANKSGIVING!!!)
Our Thanksgiving theme continues. I think that by “Thanksgiving theme” I actually mean “Native American theme.” Allow me to explain:
We are listening to Johnny Cash’s Ballad of the American Indian in our office this evening. We have also discussed a classic TFA video in which the teacher states matter-of-factly, “The Native Americans LOVED nature,” as a sort of blanket cultural explanation, and then moves on.
In non-Native American news, we have also tossed around the idea of making an inspirational film in which a group of young teachers find themselves via failure. This brainchild may or may not have been inspired (spawned?) by actual events. Also on the menu tonight: the “medicalization of bad personalities.” Thoughts? Heh, there goes my burgeoning political career.
P.S. I think I am coming down with my first cold in a really, really long time.
