Firearms and You #4 (Thursday period 2)

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

The class met in the cabin clearing as they were handwavily emailed to do so.

"Hey guys," Dean said, once everyone was there. "Dad's busy relearning the joys of diapers and 2 am feedings so you get me as a teacher for the next couple of weeks.

"Today, we're going to do a little skeet shooting," Dean said, handing each person a handout on the subject. He grinned."Cept we're going to do it Winchester style.

"We never had the money or the opportunity to practice on a real genuine skeet shooting range, so we improvised. Dad bought lots of old plates from thrift stores and juryrigged a catpault to get them airborne for us to shoot. Sammy's standing over there by the catapault," Dean nodded towards where his brother was standing by a obviously homemade machine. "So all we need is some plates to put in it."

Dean grinned widely and reached into the sack on the table beside him and pulled out one of Umbridge's kitten plates and tossed it to his brother, who, wearing a matching grin, loaded it into the catapault and nodded at Dean.

Picking up his shotgun, Dean yelled, "Pull!" at which, Sam triggered the catpault and the plate went sailing high into the air. Dean tracked the plate with his gun for a heartbeat or two before firing, hitting the plate deadon, shattering it into many pieces.

Still grinning widely, Dean turned back to the class. "That's one plate down, but there's plenty more. Who wants a turn next?"

[ooc: kitten plates and little brother modded with permission, wait for OCD's are up! Fire at will. Or at kitten plates!]

Practical Applications Period 5 Week 4

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

The Danger Shop is now a disturbing color of pink. John fiddles with the controls, trying to make it more manly. Or at least have supermodels on the walls.

He manages to get it gunmetal gray. With this poster. He shrugged. Close enough.

"Hey. Glad you're here. Today? Welding. Next week? Welding. And? Roll cages. Then? Race!"

He briefly describes the purpose of a roll cage and how it ties into the chassis of the vehicle, and briefly outlines how to make a simple chassis and cage out of the available tube or round stock. He shows the proper use of the bender and the adage of measure twice cut once.

"You're balancing safety with weight. You want it light enough that you're not straining the engine, but you don't want to sacrifice safety. These cars won't need a full cage; a simple hoop style will do."

He shows everyone to the big heavy big red heavy welders. "I've got a handout on different welding techniques. Today, you'll practice on this big Lincoln 225. I know I'm throwin' a lot at you, so don't worry much. I'm gonna supervise all your welds on the chassis and cage, and if I'm not happy, you'll do it again until it's right. I got faith in y'all. Just stay safe, don't try to rush it, and it'll be fine."

He's grinning a big boyish grin now. "By the end of next class you should have a pretty good idea on what you want your go-cart to look like, so please submit a handwavey google image plan of your design. I've got wheels and steering here, and I'll have some engine mounts and seats so you can mock up and weld. Okay. Get to work. Grab a mask and jacket.
You will wear protective headgear and leather jackets. Don't think that your thin eyelids will protect you from retinal damage and blindness, no matter what the guys on those bike and custom car shows do."

History Of Witchcraft II [Week Four : Thursday, Period 4, Danger Shop]

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was sitting in front of the class and there was not a happy expression on her face. Of course, the fact that she kept rubbing her head every few minutes was probably why she had an unhappy face on.

“Okay, so between last session and this one, we’ve been discussing how the History of Witchcraft has evolved and changed through time. One of the things that never changes is responsibility and abuses of power. Certain people have always thought that because you have more power than another – or get put into a position of power – then you can feel free to abuse your power at whim. Today’s discussion is going to focus on that. I want each of you to give me an example of someone – historical or modern – who has abused their powers, how they abused these powers, and what has happened to them as a result. “ She looked at her family and then she looked at Eve, smirking at all of them. “And no, using family members as examples is not allowed.”





[[OOC: Extreme SP is our friend since I will not be around until after 3 EST. This was not the lesson I had originally planned, but pain issues make the mun’s head go boom and sob.]]

Announcements [Thursday Mid Morning]

[umbitch.livejournal.com]

There is no trace of happiness, pleasure, or even devious glee in Umbridge's voice this morning.

"Whomever thought it was humorous to vandalize and burglarize my office should step forward at once or face immediate and harsh consequences," she snapped, voice cold. "I have been nothing but gracious and kind to all of you disrespectful little children and you can't give me back that respect!"

There's some muffled moving in the background, a sign that she's lost her composure for the first time in a long time.

"If the two culprits of this heinous act report to my office at once, I might show them some leniency. Also, will Dawn Summers andSam Winchester, Yasutora Sado and Katara, Lana Lang and Jim Ellison, and Meleka Fray and Zuko report to my office at some point today."

She paused.

"Do the right thing children," she finally said. "Or it will come back to haunt you."

[Feel free to react. Those called to the office, feel free to report at your leisure. If you can't make it today, that's cool. We can set it up for later.]

A very bouncy Bridge makes it to the library a few minutes early to open it up.

How to Be Awesome: Period 1, Week 4

[suit-of-awesome.livejournal.com]

Today the class met as handwavily instructed in the computer lab. Despite the change in venue, Barney was dressed in a tan suit with pink shirt and tie, ever on the prowl.

"Alright, geeks. How many of you scored dates from your three minute dating adventures this weekend?" Barney wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, "Come on, share your experience with the rest of the class, don't be shy." Man did he love a dirty story.

When they were finished, he began the day's lecture. "You may have noticed a decided lack of hotties out and about in the bars of this town. Research has led me to conclude that the chicks have simply switched venues, preferring to cast their cleavage at millions of strangers on the internet than at you and your cohorts.

( Diversifying your dating portfolio )

( Profiling )

( The Picture )

( Witty Blurb )

"Now, I'd like each of you to create your own online profile and submit it to the dropbox by the end of class."


[ooc: Yeah, maybe five words are mine, all others stolen borrowed from Barney's Blog. It's just too funny not to use. Also, I'm HERE! I'm BORED! ENTERTAIN ME! Extra credit to anyone who understands the 'Dirty, oh so dirty' line. *doubts this will happen* Please wait for the OCD is up! We have a go!]

[ETA: So I forgot to include this link for you to peruse. My bad!]

Construction Site: Thursday August 2nd, all day

[needsaparrot]

The "Safety First" signs are still around - in fact, Xander's added one on neon green posterboard. It doesn't have the Mr Harris says part, though.

In the background, the heavy construction guys are putting some of the finishing touches on the supporting walls - it really is looking like a school again, with just smaller room divisions and cosmetic things like... well, doors and windows for a start, for the graduate workers to attend to.

"Today we're hanging doors, guys. Not people named Door though. For the record, in case there's any squirrels listening. Just the kind with hinges and knobs."

[OOC: Open]

Interdisciplinary Studies or Whatever, Class 4, Friday, Period 3 (Galactica Point)

[whatever-sucks.livejournal.com]

It was EFFING hot out.

So, today was all about swimming, and Squall was waiting for the students at Galactica Point. He had handwavily informed them to meet him there wearing swim wear and carrying towels. ...Of course, this is Squall, so your character might not have gotten the memo. Your choice.

( Get wet. )

"Oh, and don't drown."
