Necronomicon

I've never actually been to a gay bar. Were there any climbers there?

I'm not listening. :earscoveredwithhands:

Looks like road kill. Or Lady Di. Or a pile of rags. I can't tell which.

Administrative, facilities, books, facility maintenance, utilities, etc.... Your obviously spouting foul smelling crap and have no clue how the current education system runs. I'm actually making fun of the 80%. The teachers get a huge slice of the educational pie, their performance yardstick? Students who can't perform at their grade level. Students, even those who take "HONORS" courses, that need to take remedial classes just to catch up in college. If we spend so much money shouldn't we expect to have the smartest students? Why can private schools produce so much better results with there students for a fraction of the educational dollar public schools spend? I know that half of the battle lies in the home. Parents uninvolved with their kids education don't do as well as kids with parents that do. I've also helped my girlfriends grade their papers late into the night before I could get some. I didn't like coming in second to the students, so I know most teachers are dedicated, but the really good ones are turned off by the crap Unions pull, and at least the ones I've run into aren't in it for the money. How would you like a doctor operating on you because the Hospital had to re-instate him because the Union filed a complaint? Or because the best doctor didn't have seniority and a crappy doctor did you got stuck with a botched operation. At least when I needed an operation to my shoulder I could shop around for the best one. The crappy ones didn't get recommendations. If it works in the private sector shouldn't it work to improve our public schools. Everywhere vouchers or charter schools have been tried, parents fight to get there kids admitted? Who's the MORON? Luckily for me I received some of my primary education outside the US. Entering grade school in the US without speaking the language. Twiddled my thumbs for two years until we started to cover stuff I hadn't learned yet. An old girlfriend loved to teach. She quit a public school job to work at a private school (without a union) at $19K per year because she loved her job, thought parents would be more involved with their children’s education and didn't want to belong to a union. There is zero correlation between teacher salary and quality of education. Educate yourself a little before spouting off. We need to fix our broken public schools. Dr. Moron, First, try to use "paragraphs" to organize the seperate "ideas" within your posts. Include a "topic sentance" near the beginning of each "paragraph", so that I can skim your incoherent ramblings without having to read every word you've written. Thank you for enlightening me about how public education works. I am a much better person, now, thanks to your expertise. I was such a know-nothing before. With respect to shitty teachers, it is the ADMINISTRATION that hires SHITTY TEACHERS, and they can be fired FOR NO REASON within the first two years. After that, they have TENURE, at the discretion of the SCHOOL DISTRICT, so don't blame the unions, FOOL. After our society collapses, because you under-appreciated the importance of education, and your children are filthy neo-barbarians wandering the ruins, I'll be sure to let them know that you're the reason why their lives suck so bad, before I execute them for trying to steal my food.

Don't you have to WORK at some point? I'm starting to get REALLY jealous...

Mounties, or RMI?? "Do NOT attempt to place your foot into the track until AFTER the person in front of you has REMOVED their foot."

Dr. Moron, You are an ingrate. "80% of school budget goes to paying teachers" No shit. What else would they spend their money on? Your kids will end up as idiots, if you don't have HIGHLY PAID PROFESSIONALS teaching them. Would you want a poorly paid doctor doing an operation on them?

Mr. Moron, The teachers would not have gone on strike if the SCHOOL DISTRICT had been willing to negotiate a contract. It's not just the teachers, and their union, that caused the strike, it's the SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION as well.

ooooo! you are REDUCINGTHE VALUE f your COLLECTORS EDITION with that excessive handling! i bet it just went from good to fair condition Wait until after I pull the duct tape off of the cover...

But is she hot?

Still my favorite: I'm taking a shit. It curls on top of your head. Once again, you lose.

Those poor bastards will be in school until the middle of August!!!

That's classic! What are guys playing "Monopoly, Detroit Edition"?

They're not crayons, they're martian cigarettes.

Not too sure you're going to find a new tube receiver but if you want to go without the radio section both Creek and Musical Fidelity both make good, affordable tube integrated amps for modest power needs. You can also post to the newsgroups listed under rec.audio Isn't MF's cheapest tubed integrated the A308cr? Isn't that rig pushing $3k? The A3.2 integrated is about $1300, but it's solid state. Bitching amp, though. Hey, what about the Unison Research Unico? That's got the ever popular tubed input/solid state output combo, and all the reviewers seem to love that. Someone in the SeaWA area might carry that. Atoll and Cairn seem popular with tube lovers too, despite being solid state (and also very modestly powered); they are both supposed to be good bets in the ca. $1k price range. That's all well and good, but here's the best system for the true audiophile.

Amazing picture!!!

I'll start the slamming without a name: marathons are for pussies. Triathlon is where it's at. Once you watch one of those, you'll laugh at all of the marathon fattys for evermore.

Just thumbing through my copy for fun, heh, heh, heh....

As I listened to the radio this morning, it was like I was a kid again, and every town around me was cancelling school for the day, but I had to go. The the level of the Nooksack is above my desk right now! I hope we are all swept away by a wall of mud, show these fuckers.

We're doomed!

What a dickhead....

Good God man! That's a liter of The Dew every two hours, and you didn't mention a single piss stop! Your car must reek like Trask's rubber pants!

...oooooooow. Is it me, or is this site slow as shit today?

What's a "Chee-Q"? Is that some kind of hat y'all wear to keep your heads from melting?
