They were back in the Danger Shop again today, and Hannibal nodded at the students and waved them over to his counter at the front.

"Next week, we will be discussing what are called the 'mother sauces'; the basic sauces from on which most others are based. But first, we will be looking into ( some of the basics )

Student Council [Friday, Lunchtime]

When the students arrived for the student council meeting, they would find the door closed, with a note taped to it above a basket of candy.

Good job with Homecoming!
Take a piece of candy. (Or a few pieces.)
See you in two weeks. Try to stay non-glittery.

Happy Halloween, folks!

How To Totally Be a Spy, For Real (We Mean It), Friday

Happy Halloween! Your teachers hadn’t remembered to bring candy -- but really, wasn’t that a good thing? Considering Pam and Cheryl, they probably would have given you weird unlabeled pills and insisted they were SweetTarts.

Your teachers were, however, in Halloween costumes. Pam was wearing a blonde-tinted-down-to-pink wig, a black leotard with silver stars on it, and black fishnet stockings. Okay, so she was cold. Some costumes were worth freezing for, okay?

You know who wasn't cold? Cheryl. Mostly because she didn't have a costume so much as a warm, fleecy dressing gown.

She'd wanted to just come to class naked, but something something Pam, something something flu. She was mostly just glad to have pockets big enough for a flask.

American History: Lies Your Other Teachers Told You [Friday, October 31, 2014, 2nd period]

Josh was dressed up as John F. Kennedy today because of course he was.

"Ask not what candy can do for you," he said in a thick Boston accent (and he was from Connecticut, so he could do a pretty credible Boston accent). "Ask what you can do for candy."

That didn't make sense, but Josh wasn't the speechwriter for a reason.

"Anyway," he said in his normal voice, "we've missed out on a discussion of Native Americans because things kept coming up. You spent a class in the Museum of the American Indian, a place with unlabeled exhibits devoted to fixing the history books' attempt to keep the stories of Natives confined to a neat box labeled 'Pocahontas', 'Squanto,' 'Sacajawea,' or 'terrible John Wayne film.' There are hundreds of tribes with thousands of members living in every state in the Union and they have real problems right now that don't have anything to do with teaching white people how to grow corn or fighting back against the very real land-grab they were subjected to over the course of several centuries."

He leaned back against his desk. "So based on what you learned in previous classes, tell me the first word that comes to mind when you think of Native Americans, and we'll see if we can't do a little bit of deprogramming today."
