I introduced my students to the joy and wonder (insert sinister laugh) of THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL.
For their sanity and mine, I skipped the scene with Itchy and his electronic go-go dancer (how did that get past the network censors in 1978??), but even so, their anguish was exquisite!
Favorite moments:  one 8th grade boy kept plaintively asking: "How is THIS Star Wars??"

and one 7th grader, about 20 minutes in, said: "Mr. Smith, this is AWFUL!!"
I gave him an evil smile and replied: "I never said I was showing it as a reward!"
"I shall smite you in the nostrils with a rod of iron, and wax your spleen with Efferdent!!"

I tip my hat to you sir in a salute to awesomeness.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

Just an old country boy doing his job. . .

this qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment
Kubrick, Nolan, Tarantino, Wan, Iñárritu, Scorsese, Chaplin, Abrams, Wes Anderson, Gilliam, Kurosawa, Villeneuve - the elite



I believe in the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Think that's bad, get him to confess to the traumatizing story he inflicts on his helpless classes each Halloween.
What does not kill me makes me stranger.
