well I hope we didnt make him mad.....We were just joking around like everyone on the forum. I tried not to be harsh in anyway.

BTJ....with regard to you "being TASK'ed".....consider it an honor. For the very times I have played dogfight with you, you have always played with no spawnkilling and/or intentional teamkilling, etc. My understanding is that is what TASK is used for. Not the reasons Davy stated.

....I have found over my time in Dogfight, that when the "bullseye" is on me, I actually play BETTER than otherwise....

So oh well....it is what it is

You know how they named Canada?

C- eh N- eh D- eh (say it aloud)

Not mad. On a mini-getaway with Mrs. P.

I'm leaving the class in the capable hands of Dr. The Pink, temporarily.

Ms. Boom, welcome.

Mr. C,

I'm truly amazed with your story. Not the point of it, but the fact that they put numbers in a hat and came out with letters. This class is needed more than ever!

Excuse me guys. I don't mean to interrupt your class. I own the house across the street from the play ground. I found this hunchback parked in a nondescript white van with no pants on. Does he belong here? He keeps mumbling something about TASK.

The hunchback is Davy's cousin as long as the van has a yellow ribbon tied around the radio antenna, and the pants belong to Mrs. Dent!

Students remain in your seats this is only a mock disaster and not a real drill. Please do not get into the van!

Very interesting Professor P. perhaps some of our astute and elite dogfight alumni may this answer. It could mean a passing grade in the class of Resarch 101. Can anyone corroborate with 3 references? No plagiarism allowed. Full APA format only accepted.

Very nice, Mr. Crockett. You make me so proud.

Unfortunately, you missed the question. I asked her "hometown" not her place of birth. Your answer is very close, both geographically and in respect to the actual question/answer. Dr. The Pink, I suggest partial credit.

MY DEAREST TEACHER PARROTHEAD.

I KNOW THE ANSWER IS NORTH MERTLE BEACH. THIS WAS A TEST ON MY PART TO SEE IF PROFESSOR GARY PINK PANTS ACTUALLY READ THE ANSWERS OR IF HE WAS LIKE 99.9% OF ALL THE TEACHERS WHO BECAUSE THEY ARE SO LAZY THAT ALL THEY DO IS STAMP A GRADE ON THE PAPER AND GIVE IT BACK.

I ALREADY KNOW YOU WOULD HAVE GRADED MY PAPER CORRECTLY AS YOU ARE THE MOST INTELLIGENT AND FANTASTIC TEACHER EVER. NO TEACHER CAN COMPARE TO YOUR COMPASSIONATE TEACHING ABILITIES.

I JUST DON't KNOW ABOUT GARY UNDERPANTS (or whoever he is )

P.s. why does BT J 582 still call me a "suck up "

Ms. White has ugly knees, but that doesn't make her a bad person.

I'd really like to sign up for this class, but... is Davy in the class too? I mean, no offense to you Davy... are we required to, you know... are there demos?
My doctor says No Demos.
Maybe I'll try again next semester.

Does this count as a PEH credit? I believe I may be maxed on those type of credits. Last quarter I took Flash in the Pan Dance: Intro to the Harlem Shuffle and Archery 201: Kill like Katniss.

DAVY SAYS,

Dear MANFRED , thank you sir for your concern about my political beliefs. I can assure you that I do not know if there are any DEMOCRATS on this site. Nor do I know if there will any democrats in the twerking class.

I myself am a die hard conservative leaning more towards libertarian as i do not like government.

WHY MANFRED ARE YOU SO CONCERNED ABOUT DEMOCRATS BEING IN THIS CLASS.

YOUR DOCTOR MUST BE A VERY WISE MAN IN REGARDS TO NO DEMOCRATS BEING IN THE CLASS

Mr. BTJ,
SOC204 - Cultural Diversity - A Failed Social Experiment is only offered during the summer session as other actual meaningful classes are held throughout the rest of the year. Professor Biggs is in charge of that class provided more than half a student actually signs up next time it is offered. Please see him about Pre-registration.

Now for the serious English students, I have compiled a list of fail-proof rules for the class. Please read and strict adhere to the following:

1. Avoid Alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Employ the vernacular.
5. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
6. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
7. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
8. Contractions aren't necessary.
9. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
10. One should never generalize.
11. Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
12. Comparisons are as bad as cliches.
13. Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
14. Profanity sucks.
15. Be more or less specific.
16. Understatement is always best.
17. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
18. One word sentences? Eliminate.
19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
20. The passive voice is to be avoided.
21. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
22. Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
23. Who needs rhetorical questions?
24. Parenthetical words however must be enclosed in commas.
25. It behooves you to avoid archaic expressions.
26. Avoid archaeic spellings too.
27. Don't repeat yourself, or say again what you have said before.
28. Don't use commas, that, are not, necessary.
29. Do not use hyperbole; not one in a million can do it effectively.
30. Never use a big word when a diminutive alternative would suffice.
31. Subject and verb always has to agree.
32. Placing a comma between subject and predicate, is not correct.
33. Use youre spell chekker to avoid mispeling and to catch typograhpical errers.
34. Don't repeat yourself, or say again what you have said before.
35. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.
36. Don't never use no double negatives.
37. Poofread carefully to see if you any words out.
38. Hopefully, you will use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them.
39. Eschew obfuscation.
40. No sentence fragments.
41. Don't indulge in sesquipedalian lexicological constructions.
42. A writer must not shift your point of view.
43. Don't overuse exclamation marks!!
44. Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents.
46. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided.
47. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
48. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
49. Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing.
50. Always pick on the correct idiom.
51. The adverb always follows the verb.
52. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors.
53. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be by rereading and editing.
And finally...
54. Always be sure to finish what


Okay. After weeks of shock treatment threapy I'm finally ready to get back into class. I know I'm a little behind so I asked BTJ for the past assignments. He said I am supposed to make line by line corrections to Hamlet's soliloquy (act 3, scene 1) using the above rules. Could I please get some special tutoring for this?

Hey McFate I had to do the same with Romeo and Juliet. I found the following resources which wound up being very helpful. Maybe you will find something similar that would help you.
