 |

Hi,
I know some of you have probably heard about this teacher's lesson in the U.S., where she told her grade three students on one day that blue eyed students are better than the brown eyed and gave them certain rights and privileges over the others. Then, the next day she reversed it. This was done in 1970 for the first time. Really fascinating to watch. Of course, the school board back home would fire my ass so fast if I taught the lesson like this.
Anyway, check it out. They videotaped the students. Four parts on youtube. The fifth is missing.

I used to know this very, very large breasted Italian woman that thought that. |

She's right. I'm told my green eyes are my No. 1 irresistable "charm point". Them and my monogrammed Mickey Mouse pyjamas. |

Hey,
Check out part 2 of 5, at the 5:30 mark...I couldn't help but think of korea. I doubt that this discussion occurs much in Korean classrooms. And YES, it is talked about in western classrooms. It's part of the curriculum. |

I got the onesies longjohns I wear as jammies in winter. It's great. You never wake up with your shirt over your head. |

Naw. The mid-zone I have is the best. Green when I want them to be and blue when I want them to be (just a quick shirt change is all it takes). |

oh please. Are you two serious? Coloured contacts were invented for self-conscious little Korean high school girls, not for grown-up self-respecting Western doods.

Um... no. They're not. I lied there, I don't really have any like that. What I have are a Mickey Mouse pullover and a pair of pyjamas with horseys on them. Well, horsey heads and horsey shoes, specifically. The response to these has been overwhelmingly positive. But the real gem, the most lethal weapon of my sartorial armoury is a sort-of combination smoking jacket & kimono. (it's basically a man's kimono, but I call it my smoking jacket and get away with it) |

They aren't colored contacts.
With a blue shirt or light colored shirt my eyes are blue. With a darker shirt my eyes are green. In flourescent lighting they're green and in sunlight they're blue. |

Ah, my mistake. For some stupid reason I read "quick shirt change" as just "quick change" and imagined I knew what the hell I was talking about. (always risky)  |
