Stiller I can do without.

Old Farrell (Anchor man and back) I love. Give me him on SNL as Trebeck in the Jeopardy skits any time. Hilarity.

After that one video someone pulled up for you, I'm really looking forward to seeing a balloon shark follow you around wherever you go. Anything less and I'll be very disappointed.

Man I totally put that on my want list. can you imagine sticking a flip cam on that sucker and flying it around the course at the outting or even the MC if I get in? Talk about some kick-azz aerial views of the event.

Yeah I can do that. He lost me about midway through talladega nights, and the east bound and down stuff was just dumb.
 
I actually really like Will Farrell, even some of his newer stuff...well as new as Old School and Talladega Nights and even Blades of Glory was pretty funny.

It would be gold. Just think of sneaking up on people with that thing and dive bombing them with it.

My son is getting one for Christmas. It may just need to make some trips with me next year.

A fourth principal, Mario Fernandez, called the evaluation process a product of “ludicrous, shallow thinking. They’re expecting a tornado to go through a junkyard and have a brand new Mercedes pop up.”

Thanks for posting that Jman. Like the person who took the test, I was told I wasnt college material and placed in the "tech" track. Yeah we had college track and tech tracks when I was in school, advisors catered your class selections to the appropriate one for your skill set. Well after busting my azz in a factory for a few years I realized that wasn't what I was put on this earth to do. So off to college I went, and I excelled.

You can't pigeon hole the mind, it'll break sterotypes and generalizations every time. Now I'm the first person in my family to have a 4 year degree, wrapping up my masters, and starting my own business.

Plus if dirtydawg makes it in this year we can fly some snickers and a mt. dew out to him.

See, that's a prime example of what I hate about our system. Some kids CANNOT take tests, so we are going to judge them by that AND judge their teachers a "bad educators" because of their score. Its quite saddening, really makes me want to go get my masters and doctorate in education to try and make a difference, but I know it won't help. This is the path we are on.

Kudos to you SW and thanks for sharing that, that is awesome my friend.

Cookie, please please please be attending the Outing (skim alert) and bring that thing. The amount of stupidity/awesomeness that could happen would be fantastic. Think of all the stuff we could dangle over CL's head

What's worse is that kids aren't being taught to learn anymore. They're being taught to take test, or in some cases being taught thetest, that will be the death of the american experiment in my opinion. No longer will people be thinkers, they'll be reactors. So little Jack can't take a test and meet some arbitrary level of performance, but he can sit in class and lead a discussion on the same topic. Yeah give me that kid anyday over somone who is good at rote memorization of material.

THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST OUTING EVER! I thought you were but not gonna lie, I didn't want to wade through the outing participant thread. We promise not to pop it or ruin it. It might have a SW sign taped to it though so it can hover behind him like the avatar does hahahaha

Its all cases now. As a teacher, you teach the test because it reflects on you, its terrible. Events are skipped over because they aren't on the test or there is only one or two questions (i.e. World History spending two days on WWII, TWO DAYS?!?!?). I hate it with a passion.
 
I just heard a joke, I laughed, but all I can say is "wow, really?"

"If Tim Tebow is thinking, is it called a Christian Ponder?"

Yeah, you have to tell it to the right people. Most everyone in Florida would get it.
