Phys Ed; Thursday, First Period [10/26].

[sword_chocobro]

Everyone should have gotten word that class that morning would be held in the danger shop, where it was not only easier to set up things for batting cages, but, considering the class, also just seemed like a generally good idea.

"Now," he said, "we don't really have the numbers to really work out a good lesson for baseball proper, but I figured we could at least get one of the essential factors of it, which is swinging and hitting a ball with a bat, out of the way today. And the nice thing about learning how to swing and hit a ball is that, once you get that down, you can pretty much swing and hit anything with a bat..."

Not that he would suggest anyone go and do anything like that, of course.

Never mind that the other side of the cages all seemed to have old CRT monitors with handy targets marked on them.

Probably just coincidence, really.

Never mind.

"So, let's take a moment to get stretched and warmed up, especially the arms and shoulders, and we'll start going over some techniques to help..."

Ass-Kicking 101, Thursday, 3rd Period

[needsacatchphrase]

Were your teachers in the classroom? No. But there was a movie all queued up to play for the class should they arrive today.

A movie that directly related to both the class and the theme of the current weirdness surrounding the island.

Somehow.

Just go with it, okay?

Sam Eagle Presents: The Weird States of America, Thursday 10/26

[but_mostly_america]

Sam was not late how dare you at the front of the classroom, as usual.

The branded clothing from a variety of establishments (but not Hooters, Sam would never stoop so low as to advertise for owls) he was wearing was decidedly unusual. Especially considering Sam very rarely wore clothing at all!

"Today, students, we shall talk about a weird aspect of the state of Minnesota! There are, of course, many odd things about that state as there are odd things about all of them. But today we shall focus on one thing. One very large and famous thing. Yes, students, today we shall learn about The Mall of America!"

Sam, in all his branded glory, looked out over the students.

"Of course, it is nonsense to try to claim this mall is representative of our entire country. However, they do seem to value being American and I do appreciate that! Although the mall sells any number of items not American-made! Which is frankly appalling."

Sam, buddy, your branded gear was almost certainly all made in sweatshops in various countries.

"Not even all of the stores are American! I find this very offensive. An establishment claiming to be The Mall of America ought to be fully American! And of course the sheer size of the place is absurd. There is no excuse for it! If it were fully American they could have built something far more reasonable!"
