Cancer

As opposed to Terre Haute couture.

Not for me. But many people seem to fail SAN checks whenever they see anything with an equals sign in it.

Dear Mr X,
 
Let us review your situation. You got a 22 out of 100 on the first exam, but were unaware of that for most of a month because you never come to class and never picked it up. In fact, you learned of it from your advisor after I used the academic alert system telling her you were failing the course and should drop it before last Friday's deadline; you declined to do this because you'd lose your scholarship if you did. You have turned in exactly one assignment on time, the trivial one the first week of class. You skipped the second exam, made an appointment to take a make-up right after class yesterday, which you unilaterally canceled by email, sent halfway through that class (which, of course, you skipped). You have completely blown off the major writing assignment in the course by abject refusal to submit anything. You have declined to turn in the lab work, which is essential in the course as well. And now you subject me to your fantasy that you'll do well on the final and pass the course. Tell you what: don't bother me any more and I'll give you your F without any further aggravation on my part. Otherwise, you will have no grasp on how much I am going to enjoy watching you die.
 
Love and F's,
Dr. Cancer.

Roter Baron got the Pour le Mérite for running over the Kaiserin's annoying yappy little affenpinscher with a lorry full of dynamite. The dynamite didn't explode, but the dog (and its yapping) was eliminated anyway.

Could be worse. Could be Mother Superior Spider-Man.

Pleasant student. Good-looking and athletic. And dumb as a post.

Fashion designers have no sense. It's all form over function.
 
And IMHO most of the 'high-fashion' looks ridiculous.

I saw that coming, and I can't even like it since I used up my quota of positive votes for the day already.

Rats. My daily ration of "Likes" hasn't recharged yet.

This approach also works on teen-age daughters.

Cancer, a few hairs short of a killing rage, finally finds the setting to turn off the spellchecker's auto-text-replacement feature and drives nails through it fixing it into the "OFF" position.
 
Sorry. I feel better now.

Meanwhile, while grading first-drafts for a writing assignment, I just had one where my scratch notes just say "factual train wreck".

Like Enforcer84, time needs no pants.

This explains much, actually.

Wow...banal, dumb, self-angrandizing, and creeeeepy.
 
I may have to read the masturbatory thread just to get it all out of the way.

Oh hey, dealing with the in-laws for the holidays....time to overindulge in wine. WHY?~!?!?

Car insurance rates should be much higher in a city filled with jogging, scantily clad co-eds.

No. More. Crap.

By the way, the word you were looking for is albedo, not libido.

I has a real bed!
 
 
 
 
I'm a big boy now.

The first documented case of “nerd” was in Dr. Seuss’s If I Ran the Zoo, in 1950. The specific text was: “a Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker too.”
