Lay off people. I posted this for fun... I posted comments to answer inquiring minds and now I'm getting a bunch of crap. I defend myself and I get more crap. Chill out....

Oh, substitutes. No one loves you for a reason. Wait, the /smart/ English teacher of this school can only choose the correct “your” half the time?

Well-known side-effect of self-love, à la this <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074404/" rel="nofollow">this 70s movie</a>. I didn't want to hate on Stevie Wonder. I guess Oedipus ended up blind as well, so it's kind of fitting. And I like that you just called your senior English teacher a mother-fucker. Back to the opening premise, I'm actually touch typing (out of necessity) as we speak :twisted: Guess some of those old wives' tales have a kernel of truth. I was just thinking of a blind character.

That is precisely why I listed my name as Jan and my email as jan@yahoo.com! I can assure you there is no one named "Jan" who subs at CH. I'm an English teacher myself and I can assure you that the senior English teacher, unfortunately, is a moron. He is more of an Oedipus than a Tiresias. :-D P.S. - Next time you try and prove your smarter than someone by using your knowledge of literary characters you should probably avoid double negatives: "never did anyone no harm" ??

In which case, it's quite funny, but why would I then want to buy a yearbook? The unfulfilling in front of normalcy is what does it for me. I keep changing it to unfulfilled, and read it with that meaning. Without the unfulfilling, I think it would be a great expression. Jan, and if you are the poster, you <i>are</i> the eagle-eyed sub, right? Well, a bit of self-love never did anyone no harm. Just ask Tiresias. Dangerous game to be dissing your co-workers and naming names, isn't it?

The old junior English teacher would have known and would have been snickering with them but he has retired (God Bless Bill Gormish) and there isn't a soul with a brain left in the school!

James Garfield would be number two at 199 days, but sixty of those he just layed around.
