Practical Phys Ed, Monday, Period 3

"First off, if I find out that anyone went to see a superhero movie where two jerks in capes punch each other because the guy who created Facebook made them and it wasn't done ironically, you fail this class," Fred said. "Just on principle."

"Speaking of principles of this class, you might have noticed that most of the class is about running. Why is that? Why is that the most practical thing for you to get good at?" Fred asked. "Two reasons. First, cardio is great for you. Really improves your quality of living. Second, because there's a lot of things to run from in the world. Run to, too. And either direction you're running, you really want to make sure you know how to do it right."

"So this week, we're taking the old playground game of tag, because that's a thing where you're both running to and from. We're doing it a little differently, though. Two people are It. You have to chase your classmates around and try to tag them. NO TAG BACKS. If somebody tags you, they have five seconds of immunity and you have to stand still until those five seconds are up. Since this is a playground game, guess what?" Fred gestured at the shop all around him as the setting changed to a slightly scaled up playground. Monkey bars, slides, swings... All the equipment was properly sized for teens.

"Oh, and anyone who is It by the end of the game is going to get sprayed with slime. So, don't be It." That was a lie. Everyone was going to get sprayed with slime. But at least it was fake and wouldn't exist outside the shop!

Library, Sunday

[gavegoodface]

Face was not particularly hard at work today, which was hardly a surprise, though he wasn't napping either.

Instead he was watching a drama unfold in the library as an army made up of tiny, animate, sugar-covered marshamallow creatures fought another army of tiny animate chocolate bunnies, while various books chivvied them back towards the desks whenever they came to close to the shelves.

This planet had weird holidays.

Beginning Gourmet Cooking Techniques | Tuesday, period 1

[sharp_as_knives]

Hannibal was back up front this week, with more demonstration foods. "We began discussing safety two weeks ago, with dairy and eggs. Now we'll be discussing dealing with meat. There are far too many sorts to deal with them all, so we'll cover some of the more common."

Not necessarily his favorites.

He set out dishes as he spoke. ( Fish, beef, chicken, and pork. )
