| What's a man-love thread? |
Oh well might as well....
"Yar, man love, the kind of love that binds men together as they sail round the Arctic. Yar."
"Man Love. The kind of love that keeps 33 men together for 60+ days in the mines."
"Man Love. The kind that brings Bikers to tears as they read some Walt Whitman round the BBQ."
Like I said, nothing good would come of it. I'm going to regret this post.
The last time "Man Love" got mentioned for me was when three of us were watching "Deadliest Catch" and some dude fell in the water (basically death in 3-5 minutes) and got rescued and the fishermen were all hugging him while he sobbed. The uncomfortable silence was broken with a "Yar! Man Love." |

| In response to the Pirates-of-Penzance talk earlier, I just found this on the internet. I think they made the lyrics fit pretty well. |

I am the very model of a weguk yeongeo seonsaengnim,
With analytic eyes so sharp and phonologic ears so keen,
I know the kings of Hanguk, and I quote the fights historical
Sejong Dae Wang to I Sun-shin, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters psychological,
I understand hypotheses and theories pedagogical,
Subjunctive case and upper case and regulations nominal,
I truly am a wizard and a genius phenomenal.
I'm very good at drawing and reciting sentence diagrams;
And pentagrams and holograms and kilograms and telegrams:
With analytic eyes so sharp and phonologic ears so keen,
I am the very model of a weguk yeongeo seonsaengnim.
Don't believe that.

I'm trying to write a poem beginning "I am the very model of a modern hanguk seonsaengnim" but I'm not doing very well.
Does anyone else want to try? |
I am the very model of a modern hanguk seonsaengnim.
Due to my violence physical, my students need no ridalin
to keep their attention focused in my class on dodeok discipline,
through which I'll shape them into the future pride of every hangukin.
They grow into lean men and women, quite distinct from waegukin,
they'll eat their kimchi feverently, whether homemade or from a tin.
About matters like fan death they'll be trained to make a mighty fuss,
no foreigners will understand, but no matter, they're not one of us.
I'll train them to pass stressful tests, to grovel and keep in their place,
to never through their own behavior cause their bosses to lose face.
In short when it comes to the matter of education hangukin,
I am the very model of a modern hanguk seonsaengnim. |

| Sure we don't want to have some Mikado in this? Maybe "I've Got a Little List" set to some appropriate lyrics (I'm in no condition to write my own at the moment) or maybe detail the life of an NET either from the Apologista view or the basher view (both would be great- All in good fun when G & S is involved) set to "When I Was a Lad" from Pinafore. |

I just thought of something:
Sure it's possible to misinterpret a satire as truth,
but it's also possible to err in the opposite direction:
by misinterpreting truth as satire.
As a matter of fact, I have made that mistake.
Have you seen the Youtube video starring Ray Comfort (the Banana Man)?
This fellow argues that the banana fits snugly in the human hand,
thereby proving that our benevolent Creator had both human hands and bananas in mind in the beginning.
When I first saw that video, I thought that this guy was surely an Evolutionist making fun of Creationists.
But no, oddly enough, I later learned that he was dead serious!
You never know WHO to disbelieve these days!
Mosley, if I were you, I would write back to Steelrails and say something like,
"How do you know there really isn't a Miriam Ferguson Society?
And how do you know they really weren't present on the day of the speech contest?"

When a student's not engaged in education,
But in hatching out his next sardonic plan,
His capacity for merciless vexation
Is just about as much as we can stand.
Our feelings we with difficulty smother
When our pedagogic duties' to be done.
Taking one consideration with another
A seonsaengnim's lot is not a happy one.
When our pedagogic duties' to be done, to be done
A seonsaengnim's lot is not a happy one.
When the enterprising merchant is a-selling
And a wegukin is shopping all alone,
He loves to hear himself the price a-telling
To the wegukin in fractured Anglophone.
Says the wegukin in bated breath, "Oh, brother!"
And he wishes all such merchants he could shun.
Taking one consideration with another
A seonsaengnim's lot is not a happy one.
When our pedagogic duties' to be done, to be done
A seonsaengnim's lot is not a happy one.
The director shows no sign of English teaching,
But can make Seonsaengnim's life a living hell.
The eleventh month upon the clock is reaching,
So he bids the seonsaengnim a fond farewell.
After trading in one worker for another,
He'll terrorize the next one just for fun.
Taking one consideration with another
A seonsaengnim's lot is not a happy one.
When our pedagogic duties' to be done, to be done
A seonsaengnim's lot is not a happy one. |

Anything to talk about how stupid Creationists are.
You know, I have a problem with Creationists, but some other people, too. I call them Literalists. Creationists are Literalists, but not all Literalists are Creationists. |
