The strange things Batman used to do...

Image
Sometimes I'd laugh at the things Batman had to protect. Would Batman, at least today's Batman, worry about jewel thieves? Unless there was real danger to civilians, I don't think it would cross his radar. Really, of all the crimes out there, he's going to worry about a rich lady's mega-sized diamond? I don't think so. Here's an old comic that has Batman protecting a valuable stamp collection...a stamp collection. Batman must protect a stamp collection.

Cutler says, "Maybe I should try out for this league..."

Some of these Detroit Lions weren't even born in 1991, the last time the Lions won at Lambeau. I don't feel old...

Kids write the strangest things on tests

NEW THING: One day during study hall, I had to give a kid his makeup test for World History from another teacher. It included a list of terms and he had to give the definitions. It was about Muslim and Middle East culture. One of them: Sunni-- The student answered: day I kid you not: Sunni--day

I wanted to set up and display my Cutler toy but I realized that to be truly lifelike he'd have to be flat on his back.

Total NFL pick percentage so far

OK I scored 12-3 for Week 12, 12-4 for Week 13, 13-3 for Week 14, and 11-5 for Week 15. That brings my total to 153-70 or 68.61%. Not bad. I'm no expert and I'm still passing.

Have a holly, jolly Christmas! And in case you didn't hear: get the heck out of my classroom, I don't wanna see you til next year!

Pointless essay 1: Tell me what to do not what not to do

I came across these old writings on my old blog that are worth looking at again . Here's one called " We Want to Succeed " but sometimes I don't think kids let educators educate them . Sometimes it is more of a fight , a knockdown , drag out fight . During summer school, I have the chance to catch up on my academic reading. Some ACT reports on college readiness and some other journal articles. I have to know what these places think of my English classroom.  However, I dislike the sweeping, broad strokes of disapproval without having much specific concrete steps on what teachers should be doing. I am one of those teachers who, if you tell me the kids need this stuff, I will put it into the curriculum. If you tell me to make sure a process is taught, I will teach it. If you tell me to take something out, I will do it. This year, I will be adding more grammar in the fall. I will be adding some more writing responses with specific r

Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever"

"The City on the Edge of Forever" Season 1, Episode 28. My favorite episode. By far. Introduces the Guardian of Forever, time travel, and the whole idea that "Edith Keeler must die" is, frankly, the best set up for a show ever. No saving everyone in this episode. Harlan Ellison wrote this episode. The best ending line of the show too, with Kirk saying, "Let's get the hell out of here." With all the apocrypha and changes that have been documented and rumored, as this episode is finished, it is by far the best of all Star Trek. Hands down. The argument could be made that any science-fiction show could do this episode as you really don't need these specific guys, but taken as a whole, it helps us understand the relationships of these three crew members, as Spock has some wonderful time on camera, and Kirk does what he has to do. This planet that the Guardian is on would be classified as even more quarantined than Talos IV. Indeed, there is the

Star Trek episode "The Trouble with Tribbles"

Image
"The Trouble with Tribbles" Season 2, Episode 14. The fan favorite. Supposedly. It's never been my favorite episode. I think this is the favorite episode of people who only occasionally watch Star Trek, not real Trekkies. The actor William Campbell, who played Trelane in "The Squire of Gothos" gets a new role as a Klingon. The Enterprise is on its way to Space Station K7 near the planet known as Sherman's Planet, within a parsec of a Klingon outpost. They mention the "Organian Peace Treaty" and who can develop the planet most efficiently. Cyrano Jones is a trader, selling Tribbles. There is a ton of comic relief in this one, especially when Kirk almost sits on a Tribble in his command chair, and when he is insulting the director of the space station. The idea of Tribbles being an over-populating parasite is intriguing. At one point, they are even attached to the walls! However, the Klingons are real pushovers in this episode, making it a bit

Star Trek episode "The Savage Curtain"

"The Savage Curtain" Season 3, Episode 22. Another super-entity! This one is Abraham Lincoln in space! Literally, he is Lincoln, sitting in a chair in space. "I am Abraham Lincoln." WTF? And Gene Roddenberry wrote this one. Can you trust Honest Abe? Kirk and Spock beam down and the aliens somehow prevented the beaming of their phasers and tricorders. They also deprive the Enterprise of almost all its power. Spock meets the great Surak of Vulcan on the surface. We find that they have been brought here by powerful rock-beings! Genghis Khan, Colonel Green (who led some genocide war on Earth), Zora (some evil alien scientist), and Kahless the Unforgettable (a terrible Klingon) are all on the surface of the planet too. And it's all set up as some kind of battle to watch and test them. The whole episode reminds me of a child's toy box, mine especially--different toy lines have been merged to make a cohesive story. I remember playing with Indiana Jones (from

Star Trek episode "All Our Yesterdays"

"All Our Yesterdays" Season 3, Episode 23. I know that this episode is the basis for two Star Trek novel sequels that I read way back in high school. Yesterday's Son and Time for Yesterday written by A.C. Crispin. The first one has the honor of being the first Star Trek novel to hit the New York Times Bestseller list. The star Beta Niobe is about to go nova. They are checking out a power source on a planet where the people have all disappeared. It is the library. The Librarian, Mr. Atoz (get it--Atoz? A to Z?), is taking care of the Records Room. All the people escaped into past eras of the planet's history. Kirk is transported to some Three Musketeer-type era. Spock and McCoy get transported to a frozen wasteland in the planet's ice age. Spock and McCoy find shelter thanks to a girl. She knows about the time portal. I know according to the sequel novels that Spock fathers a son, Zar, with this woman, Zarabeth. Zarabeth was imprisoned in this ice age for fi
