Love Smart: Period 2, Week 2

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

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!"

"How is this my problem?" Barney asked.

"But you don't want students in your class who aren't really suited for it, do you?"

Beauty was starting to sound very uncertain about this. Her escape plan didn't seem to be going very well.

"Well, Suiting Up is always a good idea," he said.

"What does that mean?" If there was something that would help Beauty make more sense of the class, she was all for it.

Barney's eyes got really wide. WHERE WAS ANDREW AND THAT SUIT RACK!

Oh, right, wrong class, TA-Girl didn't have access to the suit rack. He'd have to change that. "It means you wear a suit," he sighed wearily. "If you are to be taken seriously as a force to be reckoned with, you must suit up."

"A suit of what?" Beauty persisted. "I don't know what you mean? A suit of clothes? That's what I'm wearing now."

Technically. Okay, the cuffs of the shirt were frayed. But at least today she had on a skirt instead of breeches.

"A suit like this," Barney gestured to his own immaculate suit. "They make them for chicks, too."

"That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard," Beauty insisted, forgetting for a moment that she was talking to a teacher. "Who would put clothes on a chicken?"

Re: Talk to Barney [9/14]

"Who said anything about a chicken?" he made a 'this one is key-razy' face.

"You did," Beauty replied, thinking the same thing on the inside that Barney's expression was showing on the outside. "You said they make suits for chickens."
