#1.1 Austintatious Teas

However, we ought to light a candle or hold up a glow stick for the janitor with the Van Halen t-shirt, especially since there are lyrics on the back.

I live my life like there’s no tomorrow
And all I’ve got I had to steal
Least I don’t need to beg or borrow
Yes I’m living at a pace that kills

Something tells me he’s going to need to ‘splain himself in a very edifying way and impart a boatload of grace before he can persuade Ms. Diagnosis that he’s not the choco-nut bandit.

He may need to ‘splain it backwards cause that’s the mind her way seems to work.

“If you do this to children…, well, I can only imagine what you would do to an adult.”

(In a Larry King voice) Ms. Diagnosis, Hello: The Devil wouldn’t do much to an adult…they’re too smart, careful, observant, and only marginally less vindictive than children. Not Worth the Effort.

Next time, by some freakin’ donuts…that way, if they disappear, you can play this for the kids…

CB- Exactly. I can see running with, praying for protection against, or To the devil. But, to actually pray For the devil? That is some serious evangelical shit right there. I mean, for this person to think that they can actually bring satan over to Jesus? Wow, just wow. I don’t want that person knocking on my door next sunday.
ps – did it work? did you have to dance naked around a bonfire? just, you know, in case i want to try sometime

Lemma git this straight now…

Say Faust gits bonked and his clothes are stolen by the guy who bonked (not boinked) him…and then

the guy that bonked Faust gets a date with the Devil and makes a deal…

So, then the real Faust would be the foe of the faux Faust?

Well, OK, but only if the enemy of my enemy can still be my friend…

I love how it started out as a crime against the writer, then a crime against god, then a crime against the children. Maybe, if one or two of the guilt trips didn’t work, that third one would make the thief’s heart melt?

Personally, if you’re going to bring something delicious, and it’s for the children, then you should probably put a note on it. or cover the box in ants.

In all fairness by the religious overtone in this note it sounds like these ice cream cones would have been transubstantiated into the body of christ for a lesson on the Eucharist…

Are there any statistics available on the effectiveness of prayer against workplace food theft? “I’ll be praying for you” seems to be a common theme (along with “Enjoy… I spit in it!”), but I can only imagine a dastardly food thief snatching some goodies from the fridge, thinking, “Go ahead and pray for me… I’ll eat for you!”

#10.4 Lest Ye Be Judged

I remember when I was with Special Forces-it seems a thousand centuries ago-we went into a camp to inoculate it. The children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us, and he was crying. He couldn’t see. We went there, and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile-a pile of little arms.

And I remember…I…I…I cried, I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it, I never want to forget.

And then I realized-like I was shot…like I was shot with a diamond…a diamond bullet right through my forehead.

And I thought, “My God, the genius of that, the genius, the will to do that.” Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline, pure. And then I realized they could stand that-these were not monsters, these were men, trained cadres, these men who fought with their hearts, who have families, who have children, who are filled with love-that they had this strength, the strength to do that.

If I had ten divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly. You have to have men who are moral and at the same time were able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling, without passion, without judgment-without judgment.

Because it’s judgment that defeats us.

#10.6 Mistah Kurtz Was Da Wurtz (Cockney Rap)

I think the Colonel’s point was that our internal judgment renders us ‘armless against moral adversaries who would be ‘armful to us because they can tolerate butchering their own to the point of “armlessness”.

That’s quite a mouthful…I should be grateful that I’m not speechless, ’cause saying that in ASN would probably be quite an armful.

You did well on a basic assessment test. Let me give you an external reward which contains at least 3 of the US’ top 8 allergens, is full of sugars and fats, has zero nutritive or educational value, and re-enforces the societal message that eating and feeling good about yourself go hand in hand. Basically, I’ll set you up to be overweight, diabetic, emotional eaters with no internal motivation to do what you are supposed to. But it isn’t my fault–you children decided on it.

I’d hope the teacher would have not bought them if there were any nut allergies in her class. My son’s school has classrooms that have warning signs on the door with regard to bringing in anything with nuts if there is a student who spends all or part of their day in that class. They also have specific “nut free” tables in the cafeteria.
As long as the teacher had no kids in her class with allergies, I have zero issue with her giving them a one time treat that isn’t healthy.
Even diabetic kids can have some ice cream every now and then, as long as they account for the carbs they had. It’s not a big deal.

The above-normal efficiency of the test in this case was due mostly to the fact that over half of the kids were transfer students from Gametogonia.

Wait….Wait….I’m getting a signal from the other side….Aunt Pheobe tells me she can’t reveal the identity of the thief….but….but….it’s faint….there is another voice….it’s Aunt Thelma and she’s talking in a kind of cackling voice about how she never would have believed that you could taste fudge after you’re dead….and Thelma says she’s eaten all of them but one, and you can have that one just as soon as you can pry it from her cold…. wait….wait….no that’s all…she’s gone.

So the Jamaican bobsled team was sitting around the office one hazy, lazy day, wondering about their medal chances.

Devon says to Dudley, “How we gonna find out our true future, Dud?”

Dudley says, “Easy as a bobsled runnin’ cool downhill, Dev…we use what record companies used to clean up their crystal balls back in de 60′s…
a Ska-Ouija.”

Now, now. The notewriter was just applying her devotional reading from that morning:

“Your enemy the devil prowls around the staff lounge refrigerator like a roaring lion, seeking some Good Humor ice cream cones to devour.”

I’m assuming this was a public freezer.

Maybe the whole staff helped themselves to it, seeing that nobody left a note saying who the ice cream was for.

I hope she doesn’t teach English too – her kids might never learn to spell-check! Her grammar was awful.

Well, over all, I’m going to give her a B-.

The melodramatic tone was perfectly expressed, but her odd use of ellipses and capitalization and failure to properly hyphenate broken-hearted detracted from the whole.

Has she checked the big industrial freezers in the cafeteria? Those drumsticks boxes are GI-NORMUS and can easily take up the entirety of the freezer in the home size, freezer on top Refregerator/Freezer models.
Rather than assuming supernatural forces are stealing frozen treats she should keep her eyes peeled for signs reading:
“To the jackass who keeps filling the faculty fridge/freezer with treats for her class,
I moved your Ice Cream to the Caf, AGAIN. QUIT PUTTING YOUR CLASSROOM TREATS IN HERE. When you made room for that pan of brownies (WTF? Why do brownies need to be refrigerated?) you left Sue Langstaff’s insulin sitting on the counter. Now you are leaving nasty notes about “stolen” Ice Cream? Read your faculty handbook, it says right in there that classroom treats need to be stored in the cafeteria refrigerators.
Do this again and I am going to tell Principal Feindorf instead of moving them.”

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around the elementary school
Stole many children’s ice cream
My favorite is the crispy one
But I’ll go for the fudgy ones too
Made damn sure that I stole them all
Didn’t wash my hands or brushed my teeth

Pleased to meet you
I know you were well raised
But stealing, lying and cheating
Is the nature of my game

Am I the only one bothered that this teacher is giving out treats to kids who scored well on the MAP R assesment? The MAP R assessment is intended to figure out where kids are as far as reading comprehension and ability to apply abstract concepts as well as helping suss out learning disabilities like dyslexia. It isn’t the sort of test that you can study for where hard work can make up for a lack of natural aptitude.

You know, the sooner the dummies learn that they are less worthy of all the rewards of life than the smart people, the sooner their spirits will be broken and the sooner they will learn to lower their aspirations to become fast-food workers, garbage men, slaughter-house workers and the like. It’s better for everyone in the long run.

Disappointment in an earlier age allows the not-so-smart kids to make the most of their underachieving mediocre lives.

ummm I am aware that teachers are graded and have supervisors. However, hiding classroom treats is not a normal part of teacher assessment procedures.

I was thinking “all the way” up to whatever your idea of god or cosmic operating system might be. Or more down to Earth but perhaps creepier, maybe some sort of Kafkaesque bureaucracy.

True, stashing sugar isn’t part of an annual checklist.

I’m thinking a copy didn’t get sent to the Principal’s office, but once s/he finds out about it, El Jefe might just find the time to pop round to Ms. Diagnosis’ trailer a few more times each semester. Safe >> Sorry, ‘n all.

I don’t about anyone else, but my child’s school is a “nut free environment” (insert your puns here please, because I’m exhausted by the whole concept), and therefore, items such as these Good Humor cones would be strictly forbidden, and thrown away as soon as they were found.

This is textbook PAN. If you have a friend who doesn’t ‘get’ what you are laughing about when reading this site, direct them to this one.

Although one clearly agrees that it is wrong to steal the person’s belongings, the note switches all one’s ire against the note-writer.

On what planet does this teacher teach? In my school district you can’t hand out as much as a stick of gum. Ice cream drum sticks? I sure as h3ll don’t want to teach those kids after they have all that chocolate.
