The can and may thing, however, while silly (I remember it being used on me once) is valid because you're asking permission to excuse yourself to go to the restroom, not whether you're capable of it. I would argue that "Can I go to the bathroom?" is a valid verbal question, completely dependent on the s

In 6th grade, I became infamous at my school for doing just that. I always wondered if it ever got to the point where somebody actually wet themselves. And that's quite the risk in 6th grade, what with middle school reputations and all...

If they're all gay, how is it a blow to morale? It would probably just lead to the enemy perfectly coordinating their camo gear to match the dreariness of the day.

Well done as usual. I went to get in my car this morning, and the door had frozen shut. I feel your pain.

Can I go to the Bathroom in Misc JoeUser Forums

I learned something sitting in class today. Not one of those factual things that you're supposed to learn in class, but something of an epiphany that had been waiting to hit me from the time I was in elementary school. Do you remember when you were in grades 1-4, and every time you felt nature calling, you would raise your hand and politely say "Can I go to t

No Ted. Offer it, dont push it. Offering it will allow them to drink from your fountain of faith. Pushing it, will only get mind numbed idiots. You want the former, not the latter. Well said. Philomedy approves.

But you take even the slightest afront too seriously! Life is too short to be constantly upset with those who you do not agree with. I can see how it would seem this way from my articles, but I'm really not like this at all. This article, in particular, was a rant set off by a very specific catalyst wh

"Some Enviromental Whackos are now proclaiming what a good thing the Tsunami was!" Ok, so in the first paragraph, "some Environmental Whackos" are saying the tsunami was a good thing. "Making the loony loopy luddites of the left look like class a fools and a$$e$ is not even hard any more. Like Shooting dead fish in a barrell!" Hmm, by the fifth paragraph, all the Leftists think that the tsunami was a good thing. Is it just m

I can't take it anymore. I'm horribly, terribly, incredibly sorry, but I can not take it anymore. Every day, I wake up, and walk around, and hold my tongue, as I listen to person after person after person say that the Bible is this and the Bible is that and we should listen to the Bible because God wrote the Bible or God inspired the Bible or the Bible is God

You'll probably end up aspiring to teach college level classes after the first year, but ... it's all good as it comes. Yeah, I hear this is what ends up happening, but hopefully I'll manage to stay happy in high school. As of right now, its really where I'd rather be. <TABLE cellpadding=8 wid

I'm Gonna Be a Teacher in Misc JoeUser Forums

I did something yesterday. After one and a half years of wandering aimlessly through the human wasteland that is a midwestern university's campus, I finally did something yesterday. Yesterday, I walked into a large, unstable looking building called University Hall. I stepped into the elevator looking to go to the 19th floor. I failed to notice th

A Philomedy Tutorial: How to Walk in Misc JoeUser Forums

Due to the sad state of affairs that I witnessed today at a midwestern university's campus, I feel compelled to post a friendly reminder to everyone who may have forgotten the proper decorum for walking, despite the fact that they do it every day, unless they're monstrously fat, or lazy, or a quadraplegic, or some other business like that. 1) Neither I, nor a

No, you just misquoted the Bill. I live here. I know what it says. read it again. And try not to be so condescending when you are wrong. The bill proposes making it a Class 1 Misdemeanor to not report a miscarriage within 12 hours. Class 1 Misdemeanors are crimes. Crimes are not legal. If crimes are

Interestingly enough, I'm trying to start drinking coffee in the morning. I usually don't eat breakfast, but am painfully aware that ingesting something really does help to wake me up. And I'm not really a juice person. Add to that the fact that I just got a really awesome one cup coffee maker, and I feel an addiction in the making.
