Physics teacher goes berserk
(Via PoliBlog)
Physics Professor Goes on Rage in Class
Well my professors slap me and tell me they're God all the time, but they never curse.
By the way, do I know what a coroner is? Because if I know what a coroner is then why are they bringing this guy to a coroner?
Physics Professor Goes on Rage in Class
LAFAYETTE, La. - A University of Louisiana at Lafayette physics professor was banned from the campus Wednesday and taken to the coroner's office for evaluation after threatening his class, university officials said.
Student Kacie Spears said professor Louis Houston lost control right after class began Wednesday morning and was yelling obscenities.
"Then he told us if we got out of our seats he's gonna kill us. He went on the black board and wrote "911 now", so we were really in fear for our lives," Spears told KATC-TV.
Spears said Houston slapped a student and then told his class he was God.
...
"He's always acted a little strange, he's yelled and cursed before, and this time we waited for it to stop, but it never did," Spears says.

Life After Death
I've thought about my death a lot, and of course there's a lot I don't understand. But I do know this. I want my death to be newsworthy because of my life's accomplishments. I do not want news of my death to contain the phrase "Investigators are baffled."
See, I want to be admired after I die because I'd done something good or important or inspirational when I was alive. It's hard to admire the kind of person whose death leaves investigators baffled. I don't care if you split the atom, it's hard to respect someone who gets themselves locked in a filing cabinet or chokes on their own foot.
When I die I want people to say "that Chris Sartinsky, he made the world a better place." I don't want them to say "how the hell did he get his head stuck inside the light bulb if he was wearing that oversized nacho sombrero?"

Meanwhile, Scottywood looks back at his past and laughs. He's halfway there, now he just has to join the rest of us and laugh at his present too. (That's a good line, I've got to use that one again.)

Read today in the Daily Free Press
"For [sidewalk T-shirt salesman Jim] English, selling T-shirts enables him to share views and personal statements about the current situation and condition of the world today. He makes reference to his popular mushroom shirt that reads, 'I am not a mushroom. Don't keep me in the dark, don't feed me [expletive deleted].'
"'The shirt basically says I'm a human being not a mushroom. Mushrooms thrive from being kept in the dark and being fed [expletive deleted], but human beings don't,' he said."
Whoa, man. Talk about profound.
P.S., Scottywood is off the ground proceeding baldly into the blogosphere. Oh, did I say "baldly?" I meant "boldly." Whoops.

Comedy Classics: Teacher Dating Game
Here's the script for the Teacher Dating Game skit I co-wrote featuring the most insightful commentary yet.
ALEX: Good evening, everyone, my name is Alex Trebeck and as if my life couldn’t get any worse, I will be your host for Teacher Dating Game. Our bachelors tonight are staff from Lewis Mills High School. Let’s introduce them. First we have Mr. Symonds (Symonds walks on stage and trips while approaching his stool [Apparently Jon I think had seen Mr. Symonds trip in the hallway with his briefcase and thought it was hilarious, so we put it in. I can’t remember without seeing the tape, but Steve either refused to fall (“Waah, it hurts! Boo hoo!”) or just fell woosily. What a wimp. Greg threw me across stage in the tenth grade play, and we had to practice that literally dozens of times.]) Mr. Bentley (Bentley walks to his stool) And Mr. Burnett….who has been here since 7 this morning…(Burnett is already at his podium) OK, let’s bring out our lucky bachelorette, Jenny from Billings, Montana.
JENNY: (Enters and sits on a stool) Hi Alex, its great to be here.
[Joe Ochs played Jenny. I fought soooo hard to get a girl to play that part. It was me against everyone. “The teachers are the joke.” “It’s dumb.” “I hate cross-dress humor, there’s nothing funny about it.” We compromised: they got their male Jenny and no pies would be thrown in the course of the sketch. Honestly. Meh, I didn’t really like this skit anyway.]
ALEX: Alright Bachelors, now Jenny here is going to ask a number of questions to each of you and they will answer. At the end of the show, Jenny will choose one of you based on your responses, so make them good. All right, go ahead Jenny.
JENNY: Uh, OK. Bachelor number 1, what would be your most romantic gesture.
SYMONDS: (Shouting louder than usual) I would whisper sweet nothings in your ear until they bleed with romance.
[Steve did not shout this line, so that line got no laughs.]
JENNY: Oh my! Well thank you Bachelor number 1.
ALEX: You don’t need to shout, bachelor number one, we are right over here.
JENNY: Ok, Bachelor number 2, what is your favorite color?
BENTLEY: Well, it used to be red, but the last time I wore red, I was walking down the street, and I saw this guy I used to know from the War. So, I was talking to him about Hagen Das ice cream and snorkeling, and then he told me his wife had choked on her tongue during her sleep and died. HAHAHa.
ALEX: That’s disturbing.
BENTLEY: Gout
ALEX: What?
BENTLEY: I’ve got gout.
JENNY: (Uncomfortable). Ok, Bachelor #3, how would you describe yourself?
BURNETT: I’m the tall………type.
JENNY: Is there anything else?
BURNETT: (cuts her off) JENNY!
JENNY: What?
BURNETT: (Silence)
ALEX: get used to this kind of thing
BURNETT: TREBECK!
ALEX: Ignore him.
JENNY: Ok, Bachelor number 1, I like a man with some intelligence, so answer this question for me: What were the real causes for the civil war?
SYMONDS: Well, I can give you that answer right now, I know that‘s written down somewhere in here….let’s see, I know it’s in here somewhere….whoops!
(Symonds’ briefcase explodes, sending papers flying all over the stage)
ALEX: Get me out of here. All right, Jenny. Please continue.
JENNY: Bachelor number two, how do you stay in shape?
BENTLEY: Well one time, I was at the gym with Mr. Troughton. We were working out and we see this kid from school there and I said, “Hey, we shouldn’t allow kids in here, this is our private place!” So anyway, twenty minutes go by, I had been swimming and I found a dime on the bottom of the pool, and I saw that kid, so I snuck up behind him and punched him in the back of the neck! Heh heh heh!
ALEX: You should be in jail.
BENTLEY: Will you publish my book Alex.
ALEX: That’s enough
JENNY: OK, uh, Bachelor number 3, if we went on a trip together, where would we go?
BURNETT: (Taking out an atlas) Well, I would like to mix with the bourgeoisie in Spain. There we can spend time eating chinchillas, I mean churros, [Why was that line funny? Another battle I lost.] and after we can dance to a classic Spanish guitarist. Jenny, what is the primary language in Spain?
JENNY: Uh…Spanish?
BURNETT: Is it? IS IT?
JENNY: Uhm, yes?
BURNETT: Is…it?…………..JENNY! I will break your neck (Extremely long pause) if you don’t answer my question
JENNY: (Shrieks) Uh…I don’t know…German?
BURNETT: No, you were right, it was Spanish.
ALEX: Let’s just move…
BURNETT: TREBECK! You guys, you’ve got to pay attention! [If there’s one thing I’m proud of in my four years at Mills, it’s creating a catch phrase.]
ALEX: I hate my life. Jenny, please move on so he stops talking.
JENNY: Oh…OK. Bachelor number one, I think we have a video question for you.
ALEX: The video will be projected onto that back wall. (They all look back at the wall. Nothing happens). Well, we seem to be having some technical difficulties with the VCR…
SYMONDS: I got it. (walks over to the VCR) I do this kind of thing all the time in my classes…..Yea, I got it….darn thing….c’mon, work….why is it these things never work….err….darnit…(all the while he is shaking the VCR, pounding on the buttons, hitting it)…(Finally, Symonds picks up the VCR to shake it and examine it and finally slams it on the ground, smashing it to pieces).
ALEX: That was my VCR. It’s all I had left.
JENNY: Bachelor number two, if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
BENTLEY: One time this Irishman tried to mug me…
ALEX: Bachelor number two, if this story involves a lynching, please don’t finish it. (Silence) That’s nice to know. Moving on…. [Best. Line. Of the skit. And it didn’t get laughs. We replaced the silence with a line about the sabbatical because some (not me) were afraid it would be controversial (I wanted to go for it) but it turns out they were right to put it in, if for the wrong reason. The lynching line got no laugh somehow but they roared at the sabbatical line.]
JENNY: Ok, Bachelor Number 3, describe our perfect dream date.
BURNETT: Well, I imagine I’d take you out for a wonderful night on the town. I’d pick you up promptly at 4:30 in the afternoon for our trip to the Bristol Clock Museum in my 1987 Toyota Tercel….
BENTLEY: Hah! You should see this guy in his car! Hahaha!
BURNETT: MR. BENTLEY!…….Do you find something comical about my appearance in my automobile? It was the largest one that I could afford…
ALEX: Ok, that’s enough . No one wants to hear about your tiny car.
JENNY: Bachelor number one, what’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for a woman?
SYMONDS: You mean with my wife? I am married.
BENTLEY: Me too.
BURNETT: Me too.
ALEX: And were done. Ok, I guess our producers didn’t look to closely into this one. It seems as this was just a waste of time. Good thing it was so much fun. Be sure to tune in next week when I hope I won‘t be your host next time on Teacher Dating Game. (Meanwhile, Mr. Burnett is bending steel with his bare hands, [Another one of my brilliant ideas for a visual gag that didn’t happen, I think we had some contraption that made it look like Dan was bending steel but he forgot to bring it onstage] Symonds drops more papers into a garbage and doesn’t notice, and Mr. Bentley spits at someone offstage and points and laughs)

Funny Things
These things are funny. Here they are, in the particular order I wrote them down in today between classes.
-A man being hit in the face by a comet
-A blind man standing at the bottom of a broken escalator
-Someone bravely risking his life for others while wearing a chicken suit
-Minnie Mouse's kidnappers sending her giant round ear to Mickey in the mail
-Frosty the Snowman condensing
-Pac-Man's head being blown apart
-Oprah jumping off a cliff and landing on a pointy rock, causing her head to pop off
-Upon seeing his manager has hung himself, a bank teller shakes his head sadly and says to himself "Lost another one to Ditech."
-A nun sprinting around a corner, slipping, and careening down a staircase headfirst at top speed (note: One night I was flipping through the channels and happened upon what I later learned was America's Funniest Home Videos and had a chance to see just this. Even the world's greatest writer cannot do justice to the hilarity of this tape with words alone. It must be seen to be appreciated.)

Martha Stewart defies conventional wisdom by not decorating cell in an elaborate fashion
Martha Stewart surprised the country this week by not decorating her prison cell in an elaborate fashion, according to prison officials. "To be honest with you, I expected her to come in here and make curtains out of cots and cheap sheets or cozy up her cell with fragrant perfumes from somewhere or other," said prison spokeswoman Alberta Capano. "I think it's safe to say we're all shocked that she hasn't constructed elaborate decorations out of the cafeteria food or anything like that." Tonight Show host and hack Jay Leno had no comment.
When will they learn?
Yet another foe steps into the squared circle with the behemoth of Burlington blogging. Like the defunct Curly Enterprises, Scottywood has made a fatal flaw by not playing nice with the unstoppable force that is Shrimp Products. You want a war, Scottywood? Well then war it is.

Cat Boy
In English, we'd often write practice AP essays and give them to the other class to be read and graded. So one day, I thought I'd have a little fun. In the middle of my otherwise flawless (ahem) essay, I inserted this. (I didn't underline anything, that was added by one of the graders in the other class)
Now you would think that in an advanced placement English class, the joke would be pretty obvious. But there were a few people who just didn't get it. Well maybe they did get it and just acted like they didn't get it for their own amusement, but I'm pretty sure I know who one of the people were and quite frankly I would be more surprised if she did get it.
Exhibit A. Oh well. At least they gave me a respectable three. Could be worse.
Exhibit B. Well I'm sorry you didn't enjoy my essay, but it's definately [sic] nice to get some honest constructive criticism.
Exhibit C. It seems I sent this poor soul over the edge. Let me ask you a question, esteemed grader. What are you on that would cloud your common sense and block your humor receptor? Or should I say ?!
Exhibit D. Oh horrors! Cat Boy? Alright, fine. Let's make a deal. Everyone in your class can call me Catboy if I can call them Idiot in exchange. Deal, Idiot?
Exhibit E. Well it seems my hilarious nickname has caught on.
Exhibit F. Whoa, let's not get punctuation crazy here. Easy on the exclamation mark-question mark combos. And that fat upside down triangle exclamation mark is a little intimidating too. By the way, the mark of the great mind is that they're so busy and their mind is thinking so rapidly that they don't even have the time to write out three letter words.
Exhibit G. Good sound advice. I'd advise you to lay on the brains.

Am I That Bad?
Of everything I’ve written on this site, by far the one that has gotten the most questions was this one. I’m always glad (if a little embarrassed) to have people talking about my site, but what people have had to say about this one is a bit unsettling to say the least. Person after person, with varying degrees of seriousness, have asked me if I really got hit by a bus.
Some people are clearly kidding. Others worry me. “I thought maybe you just got tapped by one,” said someone in all seriousness. I know I’ve talked about my hackery before but am I really that bad? What did you say to yourself when you read it? "Did he get hit by a bus? Well I doubt he actually had an idea, so yeah, I guess he must have gotten hit by a bus."
P.S. There have been fewer updates this weekend because I’ve been back at home with the dial-up, not because I am trapped in a grain silo.
