All I can say here is "Yo!". I actually know some LA gangsta rappers, and you'll be happy to know, one of them is now teaching English Literature to 8th-Graders and is thought-of as a stern disciplinarian.
If only his students knew about his former career in "Kill Whitey", whose material they would have loved, they'd think differently. For the future of the intelligensia of America, I'm glad they don't. This stuff was vile and foul, and written when they were high school students, but it was so brilliantly despicable, people still want to hear them perform at private parties many years later.

Brilliant AND disgusting. And they've moved-on. Now, they're obsessed with tiki-bars and whether their students graduate. Thank God somebody in LA still cares about their students, because in less than three decades, we've gone from being the nation's best to being in the bottom three.

Incidentally, I still despise text-messagin language. Speak your native language correctly, for Pete's sake!

 

[cthulhu77]

Hear, hear ! Yeah, the teacher's of today have a lot to overcome...neat that here and there, some good ones still shine out.

I was happy with Herr Doktor's reply, usually those ridiculous messages are just ignored...can't abide them, I !!!

Although English ani'nt my first language, I still don't like the text talk since it makes you lazy, I mean what's the problem with poeple today?! Are they too lazy to type on the computer's keyboard, heck no! It's just what other poeple do, poeple have a tendency to follow what other poeple do, just like ducks. So they 'Quack' to themselves but annoy the other worthy poeple are not lazy. ( WHAT DID I JUST SAY?)

 

[cthulhu77]

Quack.

 

[Steve O'Shea]

I do believe that we've frightened poor studentrocky off ... and that was not my intention. I'l drop a pm through and try and lure them back.

 

[chrono_war01]

try and lure him back? Good luck.

( But I would try luring squid since I've never had much sucess in luring stuff, be it students or cephs )

Only if you remember to bring jelly donuts to Master O.
Little known fact:
Dr O'Shea knows only three food groups: coffee, smoke and jelly donuts.
(surely we should get a jelly donut icon.... )

[chrono_war01]

Smoke? As in cigerattes or as in smoke salmon?

LOL - Unfortunately, Phil, I don't think New Zealand has (or at least recognizes its undescribed) chavs yet (I only know about them from recently visiting your fine olde lande). Interesting side-fact though, Queequeg was apparently based on a Maori crewman Melville once met on a whaling ship.

 

[Steve O'Shea]

... I only know ....

Did you just split an infinitive?
