Intergalactic Justice, Tuesday Period One

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, kids!"

Not only was Jim in a good mood, Jim was also decked out in a TROUT! cap, a t-shirt that read I ♥ TROUT, and he was wheeling a monitor with a webcam on top into the room. "Today, we're going to be talking about wisdom, so perk up your eager little ears and pay attention!"

He turned towards the class, and beamed broadly. "Now, I know, we all know how to shoot our blasters and dodge cows and the general circumference of the universe, but sometimes, you just can't make it on your own. Sometimes, your problems are so horrible, so despicable, so outrageously, mind-bogglingly, staggeringly UNGOOD that you must take a leap of faith and ride your quest down to a figure of ultimate unending smarts!"

He winked at the class. "You should take this from me, kids, I have four hyper-intelligent brains!" Most of which were currently contemplating pie. "Now I realise you must all be thinking, 'Yes, mister Jim, but who would be such a bounty of infinite wisdom?'. That's an interesting question, class, and it's very easy to answer."

He had to slam the 'on' button on the television a couple of times before the image kicked in.

The giant furry fish on the other side was a little busy reading. It took him a few moments to-- "Oh, hello, kids. I didn't see you there."

"The GIANT, fur-bearing TROUT!" Jim said, his voice reaching pitches of such enthusiasm that it would probably break meters. "Share with us your wisdom, oh furry bearer of cosmic knowledge! SHARE IT!"

The trout digested this request. "Alright," he drawled, "Just let me flip my soyburgers..."

Jim's fingers were positively wriggling with delight.

"Ask good questions, students! Those who flow with the waters of the trout shall perservere!"

"Jim? I trademarked that."

"Oh, sorry."

Listen to the Lecture

Make notes, talk to yourselves... admire Jim's teleconferencing set-up.

Lee decided he loved this class and the professor. He was just the right side of insane to make things interesting.

Ino... was just going to sit here, in her chair, and giggle. Yes. Giggle a lot.

You know, Jen could have boggled, or stared in disbelief, or something along those lines. Instead, she chose to just kind of snicker behind her hand a little. It was easier that way.

And oddly stress-relieving.

Chuckling to himself, Sokka wrote "4 hyper intelligent brains???" on a sheet of paper, underlined it, and circled it. This was the first note he'd taken in Jim's class.

Gwen stared at the trout, remembering the space whale.

Bob crossed his arms and nodded. The words Jim had spoken of left him with a thought in his mind Sometimes, your problems are so horrible, so despicable, so outrageously, mind-bogglingly, staggeringly UNGOOD... Sometimes, your problems are so horrible, so despicable, so outrageously, mind-bogglingly, staggeringly UNGOOD... Kept coming over and over again.

This Tuesday was his third anniversary with...celibacy. He hated being married.

He continued to nod, for no apparent reason as his mind was somewhere else.

In what was becoming a theme for this workshop, Alex boggled at the trout. Honestly, you'd think he'd be getting used to the crazy, but no.

Turtle was taking very careful notes, indeed.

Fur-bearing trout. That was somewhat a novelty. This class never failed to be interesting.

Speak To The Trout

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

He's wise. Ask him questions.

Re: Speak To The Trout

[stupid-toasters.livejournal.com]

Lee tried to think of a good question to ask the trout.

The only thing he could think of was, "Should we shoot first and ask questions later or ask questions first and then shoot?"

"Do you find it difficult to be friends with a worm?" Peter asked.

"Are boys all so stupid?" What? It was a good question, she thought.

Re: Speak To The Trout

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka HAD to ask the obvious question. "So, why are trout good if goldfish are bad?"

Re: Speak To The Trout

Marco blinked. "Have you ever tried to take over a planet?"

Re: Speak To The Trout

[bob-ofhydra.livejournal.com]

"Will there be salmon Biscuits after the lecture?" Bob asked. His stomach growled afterwards.

Re: Speak To The Trout

[futureclone]

"What is the meaning of justice?" Alex asked the trout.

Re: Speak To The Trout

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Yes, Turtle thought she was being hilarious. She felt she was doing her dad proud with that one.

Re: Speak To The Trout

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

"How is it that you're a fur-bearing trout, if you'll pardon my asking?"

It seemed relevant.

Talk to Jim

[notjustaworm.livejournal.com]

Stars in his eyes. STARS in his EYES.

He's considering buying more trout merchandise.

OOC
