201--Speech
Gang, we've had a week off, so we're behind. I need you to step it up. We're going to make speeches on Thursday regarding the elections...3 to 5 minutes on the topic of the week. You have the freedom to say whatever you want, but I expect it to be done well. Use ethos, pathos, and logos. Ok, brainstorm, and I'll be walking around to give you help. Go.

301--Interpersonal Comm

Listen up. Families. What can we say. The accepted theory is that the family unit that is pleasing to us is a microcosm of the social structure...likewise, society is a macrocosm of family. Keeping this in mind...and moving away from the self into the hypothetical, lets talk dysfunction. [Writes DYSFUNCTION on the board] This means literally "to not work" but has many interpretations. We're going to figure it all out today...[flatly] then you'll be the smartest class in the school. Ok, go. Talk. Or I'll set fire to the room.

Chip...you're in deep shi--trouble. I need to talk to you out in the hall.

I don't know if I'll get that much control. I do know there's a Death character if you let a character expire.

Boyfriend? Anyone I know?

As for the speech, I live by this moto: Be honest, be pithy, be brief and be gone.

Brief? Well, I'm screwed.

Michael Samuelle. You might have seen him around. French guy, wears sunglasses that match mine half the time. *laughs*

Ooo. Death. *pauses* Now, why does that make me think of that one tall thin guy who works at the clinic?

POLITICS
Never conform to the Platonic ideal
Never end how you expect them too.
....are unfortunately, the only option open to us at this time.

You can have most of my time. I don't really want to babble on this stuff too much anyway.

Don't know him. You'll have to introduce us sometime.

Is this class over yet?

Thanks. I have a feeling it might turn into a rant. Hopefully Professor Cregg won't have to get a hook to get me off the podium.

Sure. You're, uh. You're with Valentine, aren't you?

God, I wish.

*sighs and starts drawing pictures of fanged monsters around the margins of her notes*

Not *with* so much as... orbiting the same star. *With* implies a little more than may be accurate.

(give that one horns and he'll look like the guy on Sesame Street who honks his nose.)

*looks blank at the 'star' explanation*

Riiight. Okay. Not my business, so... never mind.

*tilts her head, gives the monster horns*

Heh. He does.

*draws a Kermit*
*draws a balloon coming out of his mouth*
*writes in it:*

POLITICS! Brought to you by the letter P! And by 0, a representational number of Politics!

Not a question of 'not your buisness', if that were the case I would have just said that. More a question of... I have no idea what the hell we are now that we no longer hate each other's guts. We aren't sleeping together... well, we are... but only literally... *shrugs* I don't think either of us are up to overanylizing it.

Can the politicians get a negative number? Or something like the square root of an imaginary number?

Kermit needs a Miss Piggy.

*Parker grimaces* Yeah, analyzing relationships, or thinking about them too much... can lead to Say Anything homages in the rain badness. Uh. Good luck with that, whatever-it-is, though.

Sure, God knows most politicians' approval ratings are in the negative numbers. Wait. The square root of a negative number *is* an imaginary number. So the square root of *that* is something like -- I don't know. A Ridiculous number?

*adds square root signs and little i's and minus signs in the ballon*

So he does.

*Miss Piggy looks like Miss Piggy. She also looks like the First Lady, waving, in pearls*
*the wave might be a karate-chop*

*her voice balloon reads: "VOTE FOR US, or HIIIIII-YAH!"

A ridiculous number! That's hysterical. A hallucinigenic number?

Draw the Chef and his chicken. Be sure Das has her Uzi. :)

Ooo. Yeah. A hallucinogenic number. Rewrites reality, while you wait!

*draws the Chef*
*can't quite get Das right, the wings are awkward*

*word-balloons say:*

"Bork bork bork!"

And

"Hallucinate *your* political reality! A Chicken can be President!"
