And what's the point of making a tender quick-bread with some body to it, if it's going to "soak up" a lot of syrup and turn to mush?<BR/><BR/>Pancake fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-49825256383338887302009-01-19T10:52:00.000-05:002009-01-19T10:52:00.000-05:00I don't feel guilt at all.

It would be one thing if we were all loitering around, calling her a fat cow and making fun of the gap in her teeth or something. That would be cheap and mean. But there's nothing wrong with calling her stupid when she writes something that is blatantly stupid, which pretty much happens every day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-76514211381558691492009-01-19T00:04:00.000-05:002009-01-19T00:04:00.000-05:00This really pissed me off too.

Saying that teaching should be downgraded to a rote job anyone off the street could do. Just have them babysit and fill out forms. What disrespect for any child in public school, for the profession of teaching, for the hard work and creativity of the good teachers. I've had students with that attitude, and they were not my better students, although they fancied they were better than the others.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-4614133260040086332009-01-18T23:45:00.000-05:002009-01-18T23:45:00.000-05:00Which post was it that set you of, Susan?Which post was it that set you of, Susan?NutellaonToasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524357022370926931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-35436154843381387792009-01-18T23:19:00.000-05:002009-01-18T23:19:00.000-05:00Hmmmm.

Because I was banned I started addding coverage of Megan along with coverage of the square Corner that looks round. I'm really more interested in authoritarian followers than leader wanna-bes.<BR/><BR/>You know, if you keep insulting enough people, some of them are going to angry. That anger is easily diffused with personal interaction--few of us will abuse people we think we know--but Megan was too insecure and vain to argue with a commenter.<BR/><BR/>Which leads me to the moral of my story: Kids, if you decide to insult people, make sure they aren't better writers.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-69595996211721924722009-01-18T22:41:00.000-05:002009-01-18T22:41:00.000-05:00I'm happy to say I don't feel guilty at all.

She sounds as dumb as Megan, only she's got a name that sounds like someone's lame attempt to invoke Ayn Rand. <BR/><BR/>Also, "Nest like the wind?" makes no more sense that "sit as still as a mixmaster" or "rock out like a Great Dane."
