Internet for Dummies, Wednesday 11/8, 3rd Period
There were several beakers on Abby's desk and she was pacing in front of them, her lab coat looking a little worse for wear.
"Morning, guys. I hope you enjoyed your week off and got lots of emailing done. Since next week we're going to be using chatrooms and instant messengers, we need to bone up on our netspeak." Abby gave a brief rundown of why internet slang was invented and then went to the board to write down a few of the basics. "You've got your BRB which means 'be right back' and your LOL which stands for laughing out loud. What are some of the ones you can think of?"
After the list was expanded, Abby nodded to the students. "Alright, I want you guys to write those down because you'll be using them next week in class. Now for a fun activity, we're going to have dramatic spam readings. You've had your email accounts long enough to get those weirdly poetic emails that don't make a lot of sense. But I think they're fun to read. Everyone who reads will get a chance to try one of my new Caf-Pow flavors; pumpkin spice or cranberry."
Abby waved a hand at the beakers and wrinkled her nose, so far none of them tasted good, but it's not as if it would hurt the kids.

Re: Spam Poetry
Most people believe that a chess board seeks a bartender about a cowboy, but they need to remember how almost a particle accelerator goes to sleep. A skyscraper finds subtle faults with the food stamp. Indeed, the molten satellite sells a photon inside an eggplant to an insurance agent. A hesitantly phony avocado pit single-handledly buries the load bearing warranty, and a fire hydrant graduates from a class action suit about a grain of sand. Some fire hydrant conquers the ball bearing. When you see a fruit cake related to the deficit, it means that the accurately proverbial fairy takes a coffee break. Now and then, another purple power drill eats a freight train defined by the tornado. For example, a demon defined by a spider indicates that some pig pen sells the recliner to the salad dressing over a rattlesnake. When a cantankerous support group reads a magazine, the federal deficit starts reminiscing about lost glory.
