I'm not a teacher, but the only one in my immediate family who's not one...and I was an educational assistant...I've always been surrounded by teachers, and heard their shop talk for as long as I can remember.

mmm...Aragorn...

Somebody break out that Morgan Freeman "I don't give a shit" gif...

lol..."Schmidt OUT!"

The kid seemed to me like he was coached and lying through his teeth. And not very well, at that.

Yeah, I watched the Dr. Phil interview. He was letting the boy's family have their say, but he wasn't letting them away with anything, either - he challenged, he asked them to look at the situation and to see why, in particular, the boy's statement of "I didn't do anything wrong" is *never* going to hold up to any…

First off, congratulations on your recovery! Breaking out of those habits after ten years is a hell of a lot of hard work. I hope that you remind yourself every day of how much you've achieved.

I've been there. I was unemployed for over a year. And then I got a job for 10 hours a week...and even though I was being underpaid for the work and I really needed more hours than that, it was *something*.

40 days? I've got some expired yogurt in my refrigerator that I've had a longer relationship with, and these two sound like they're talking about it like it's some epic thing in which they plumbed the depths of each other's souls and went to hell and back with each other, blah blah blah insert your cliche to describe…

Now, now...don't go insulting assistant buyers at Best Buy by lumping this guy in with them...

CDR, is that you? Dude, this shit is so tired...

You're allowed to talk about how much it annoys you. It is annoying. We've got super-wide feet in my family. Shoe-shopping, especially for dress shoes, is an ordeal. I get how annoying it is not to be able to easily find shoes that fit.

I read the article and comments before watching the video and wasn't quite sure what to expect when I started to watch the video...certainly not the very visceral reaction that I actually had.

Christmas presents taken care of for like, half the people I know.

Never mind, I found it. Yikes...

This sounds like such a trainwreck that I feel like I *have* to see it...even though I know that I'm going to mightily regret it...

Damn. Now I have to actually watch the VMAs.

Oh, I'm all confused again. This is a bad week for me, apparently.
