Love Smart: Period 2, Week 2

Barney leaned against the whiteboard while the students took their seats. “So. Relationships. Whatever. Today we’re going to focus on the getting part of the relationship for the benefit of those of you who need a hook-up or who wish to trade up,” he announced with a grin. Yeah, he listened to the radio. It was great entertainment.

“For those of you who missed my legendary summer workshop, How to Be Awesome, here is a list of pick up lines to try on your own time. I also have video of your classmates' greatest hits in my office should you need a visual reference. Keep in mind these pick up lines were designed with the hot and dirty in mind. Not the deeply emotional relationships you teens seem intent on having." That last bit might have been sarcastic and accompanied by wide, grossed-out eyes.

"Now that that bit of business is taken care of, let's discuss how and why we choose our significant others."

"Couples: Why did you select your partner as 'The One' for you? Was it for their looks? Because hell yeah, you want someone you can stand to stare at for days on end. Was it for their money? Because of... feelings?" He looked at them sadly, because really, they should be out there having meaningless sex. It was a tragedy.

Focusing in on those lucky enough to be without an SO, Barney addressed the class studs loners. "Singles: How and where do you find a mate? Any alternatives to finding 'The One'? Let's discuss!"

[ooc: Wait for OCD is up! The questions are open to all for reply and discussion! Go Swarley!]

"And what about the cyrrilic alphabet?" Jamie continued. "What if there's a Б, Г, Д, Є, Ж out there waiting for us and we just can't find them because we don't know the cyrrilic alphabet?"

"I think Mr. Stinson should teach us foreign alphabets just in case our person of interest is in another country. Don't you think so Willow?"

"And symbols!" Willow said. "Because some people may find those better to communicate with. What if we're missing our chance for true love with Mr and/or Ms dot-squiggle-smiley face-umbrella?"

"Yes. And Morse code!" Jamie said eagerly. "Because Mr and/or Ms. Right could also be Mr. and/or Ms. .-. .. --. .... -"
