If You Think It's Funny
Mrs. Pandian is the most amusing history teacher alive. Can you believe a teacher who refers to Gorbachev and Reagan as Gorby and Ronnie and writes the Soviets were "pissed off" by the US move in the Arms Race, etc., etc. just to make our lecture notes more humorous? (Although exactly which move I can't remember. There were too many.) Don't we love it. I shall do the same with my students if I am ever a teacher. Actually, ew, what an image. Forget I said that.
Here is my list of severely convulted things I compiled in a severely convulted week. (I'm not being serious, okay? It was not severely convulted. It was not.)
1.
The Bachelor.
2. Madonna's publishing a children's book. I've had it with the Britney Spearses and Ashantis who start horning in on sacred ambitions and passing off books of half-baked poetry and semi-autobiographical crap as literary. And now a
children's book? Oh, and here's the clincher:
She has no clue who Enid Blyton is.
3. This article.
Not that I'm an authoritiy on my religion in any case at all, but turning God into pop culture? Are you off your rocker? I'll bet they thought it was funny. Which it is in its own perverted way, because it insinuates that makeup is all they can get through to girls by.
Enjoy the Sick, Sad World while you can. But really, it's mere amusement. Don't forget the Healthy, Happy One. And I don't mean an apple a day.
