Well at least your still allowed to keep ganja I suppose. Actually I'm assuming this because my computer doesn't "do" PDF. Does it ban all-night bukkake parties? Or is that okay as well?


This is not Kansas, Baba Alex and you are not Dorothy.


Who's this dude in a scarecrow costume that's been following me around for the past few days then?

I have been called much worse and that is in the classroom let alone out of it.

Oh no I am on a roll again-I have just thought of a new thread-what is the worst thing you have been called in the classroom?

A teacher?

Actually, in the ME zip and unique, memory fails me on their meaning though.

Once a student called me thrifty. He was trying to describe Scots and looked up ( I think) tutumlu
