I forgot how much fun it is to screw with people's heads. I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

**metallifan**

Best way? You and a friend look at people funny and snicker at them while muttering to eachother in a fake language. It's even better when they try to call you on it and go "You know, I -do- speak ________, and I understand what you're saying". And then you tell them that isn't what you're speaking in, so they don't actually know what you're saying.

That's some glorious fun

3 hours sleep, a day teaching and then reading and writing this godforsaken essay til now. My brain is cooked. Tomorrow I am handing it in after school, then going to see Iron Man 2, then going to see Flight of the Conchords at the Olympia, and then going to get a PINT.
Then, if volcanic ash doesn't trap me here I'm going to Engerland to interview for some jobs.
The week after that I'm going to SLEEEEP!

I hate how there are kids in my school who are incredibly popular just because they had, like, a million friends in kindergarten. Then when I'm on the bus home from school, they'll try to put me down to sound "cool." I'll throw out a pretty good comeback, and everyone, cool or not, tells me that it was "the worst effing comeback they've ever heard." And you know what? I'll hear the person who insulted me use the same comeback (in diss form) two minutes later against some other unlucky kid. And then everyone's just like "Ohhhhh! DAMN! You just got DISSED!" So basically no matter what they say, everyone backs them up because they want to look cool. No matter what you do you can't get them.

I'm sorry for ranting, but hey, that's what the thread's for, right? And it feels SO much better letting that out. Thank you for the thread, OP.

asking question when I didn't understand stuff, taking notes whenever the teacher was actually doing her job.

My grade was a decent C because of this.

But one. Fething. Test. Worth an unreasonable amount of goddamed points took my entire grade down to an F. And not an F that you can easily recover from.
An F that stands for "Feth me in the ass sideways." So I now have 29 school days to work my ass off and get it to a D and hope the teacher takes pity on me an bumps it to a C-,
else I get to repeat the course.

I barely even learned anything in this class anyway.
It's fourty-five minutes long, and the teacher spends the first fifteen going over warmup problems, another fifteen on the previous nights homework, and then ten on teaching us the next lesson, before
she gives us five minutes in class to work on this nights homework.
The past few years I was always able to pull my stuff together and get up to a a few points below a B on my own, but this year, I'm fethed.

Sounds bad, man. I'm in my last two years of school (we call it 'college' here for some daft reason) and math is entirely optional. I dropped it, but the numbers keep coming back to haunt me in Computer Science. 0's and 1's, man, 0's and 1's.

I know what you mean Cheese. I sympathize...truly. Until it turns to hexadecimal for some odd reason and you're using fething letters too.

Read a book on the bus and ignore em'. you cant stop it but you can stop it from happening to you. i learned that.
Or better yet agree with him. makes it worse that he cant hurt you no matter what he says.

I had a weird experience yesterday in regards to language. I went to a gas station and a white guy appears, so I figured he was the son-in-law of the owner, but could probably speak English. Wrong. He was Russian. Speaking Japanese to another white guy is just soooooo weird. I'm sure the two Japanese within earshot thought it was even weirder.

And Bumsmeller is one horrible place. Calgary used to be OK, but they've messed it up with the worst road system in Canada resulting in the entire population having roadrage all the time.

Thanks for the advice, but I do my homework on the bus which is essentially the same. And everyone makes fun of me for it. My bus is a madhouse because my driver doesn't give a damn what we do. They expect me to run around and feth around with them. That's fine with me! They can have a crapload of homework when they get home. But agreeing with/ignoring them doesn't work. They're not bullies; they don't take pleasure in putting me down. They take pleasure in people congratulating them for putting me down. So unless people stop liking me getting crapped on, they'll keep it up. Oh well, it's not as big of a deal as I make it sound. But again, thanks for the advice garret.

Well, I guess they are bullies but what I'm saying is they don't bully because they take pleasure in it like many other bullies do. They do it because it makes them look better than everyone else.

turn around and jump up high enough that your arse is at his face-level. Then let a big fart go. Hell, just jump up and fart on him at point blank in general. If that won't make everyone laugh at him, I don't know what will.

**nintendoeats**

I'm in Scotland. That trip sucked. We are meeting my mom, and her flight got canceled because of the ash. So now she is on a bus going from London to Edinburgh and all we can really do is wait at the hotel.

But we are here, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Oh gods I know EXACTLY how you feel Scout. As about the only person who pays attention in Maths, I think It's been about 10 months since I actually learned something new. OTOH, it does lead to some interesting after-lesson conversations with the teacher about how we could shock the other "pupils" into paying attention-I think my favourite one so far has been standing up and breaking into the chorus of Meatloaf's "the butcher is king". Just keep toughing it out dude.

LLF.

Thanks so much..... (!) I just got home from school so I can't try it but I will tomorrow.

Maybe.

**Shadowbrand**

I'm having a blast playing my Guitar, and I got my Chaos Marine stuff and a new bandshirt.

Also school is strap on dildos. I hate math, and learning about my ancestors buttsexing monkeys to make humans.

And I got sent out for making fun of the whole creationism vs darwinism debate.

Oh well time to go sing transilvanian hunger and pour cowblood all over myself.

If he gets mad and challenges you to a fight, then just tell him that even if he wins, he'd still lose. For he has the Will of the Housewife, whereas you have the Will of the Warrior (Assuming you couldn't floor him, of course)

And on future comebacks, if he says it's dumb, just reply with "That's okay, I know you'll use it yourself in five minutes or so. The fact you idolize me like that is quite flattering, really."

And, of course, there's the random high-volume akward blurt-out. Like "<Name> STOP TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR LOOSE ARSEHOLE!" or "NO I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR GAY FANTASY <Name>!"

Used at the right moment, the high-volume akward line can be extremely hilarious.

Well math has always been a challenge for me, and it hasn't helped that the past three years my teachers were crappy.
For the past five years now, I've been busting my ass off to scrape by with a 70%, which is more then enough imo, since I won't be going into a career that involves lots of insane algebra.

Edited for Profanity.
Try to keep in mind, that though many of us curse on dakka, it is run through the language filter, so that nobody whines about profanity.

And I know I'm prolly the biggest hypocrite for saying that, but just keep it in mind.
Just for future reference.

Though it doesnt look anything like a bird lol , almost like a pterodactyl

The place I used to get my improv classes might not be opening again this summer.

It was really fun and helped me get comfortable performing, so I'm gonna email my instructur and see if it's going on this summer.

I don't see the debate, each explains the holes in the other.

Darwanism diffuses one paradox, but replaces it with another. But otherwise they mesh completely
