which quote?

Actually one of my co-workers keeps repeating it because of my origins, it's not like it's the only thing I remember. Something with "elderberries"...

oh, this one: "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries."

And they fart in your general direction, too. Damned French

You are a programmer, right? Programmers have a strange fascination with that movie. Your being from France only enables them. I can't imagine if you wore a knight's helmet to work every day.

I have two empty halves of coconut he can bang together.

I ponder winter shoes sometimes, when I practice my ancient Buddhist meditation technique. The monks used to do it before they went into battle...

I hope to be doing what you do for a living very shortly...

12 Monkeys is a great film and may be wholly underrated by the general populace. There is so much going on in the film, psychologically, philosophically, environmentally, ethically, etc. that it is difficult to discuss in a sitting. How much classroom time are you devoting to it, and in what context?

I'm sitting around going to waste, thank you very much.

It's a Grade 12 Remedial Reading class. They're in there due to not passing the Reading/Writing section of the HSPA. My job is to take them through the alternative assessment process (SRA) to fulfill their graduation requirements. Once that's done, I'm free to finish the year with them doing a variety of literacy/critical thinking activities.

I've had them reading The Tao of Poo and we watch films, discuss, and do some critical written response. Pretty cool way to end the school year.

We spent a week with 12 Monkeys and talked about how the plot was constructed, time travel, germ warfare, and general Gilliam-ism.

Brett - these may come in handy at MD. I will talk to the guys this weekend, thanks!

 

[anrothar]

can we sharpen them and make booby trap trails? with pits of death? and we could tie like five sharpened ones together and suspend them from a tree and run a trip wire so that they would be one of those crazy spiked battering ram things? it would be sweet!

the sharpened ends should be smeared with human feces. we'll leave that job for brad.

 

[anrothar]

sounds like a plan. two to one, so he has no choice in the matter. brad is "the fecal kid". our equivalent of the little urchin in mad max.
