From the Window, to the Wall, to a Blog

Let's be honest...school can suck. There. I said it. School sucks sometimes. But it's not completely terrible. If we're truthful, you (students) hate hearing me say, "Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking" and "Shut-up" all day. And, I really hate saying it almost as much I hate that most of you (pretty much everyone but Jordan Turner) continue to talk regardless of what's going on in the academic universe around you. Now, having said that, you guys have said some of the funniest things I will ever hear in my entire life and the world deserves to know just how funny you really are, both as individuals and as groups.

So...this blog is my gift to you. It will be filled with all of your funniest quotes. You know them as those white pieces of printer paper that Michelle Sauer spends most of her day coming to my desk to get from the absolutely ancient HP Laserjet 1020 on my desk (I am pretty sure we used that printer when I was still in middle school, which was about 10 years ago). Most of those pages end up on the school-blue, concrete walls behind me. But now, they're going onto a school-blue and white blog so that the entire world can witness your brilliance...or lack there of.

Whatever you do, don't try to come up with epic quotes in class so you can get on the blog. That always end badly and you'll just be lame. Just be you. That's worked so far, and the paper covered wall behind my desk was proof (we took it down last week for the Fire Marshall). Every good quote will be Wall Worthy, but only a few will be legendary. After all, good quotes never get old...kind of like the movie Sixteen Candles.

"Mirth [laughter] is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it." -Henry Ward Beecher

If Beecher was right, then we should hope that the world would swim laps in laughter without free-styling into frivolity.
