Criminal Justice, Class 15

[OOC: For the project: Groups of 2 or go it solo. Pick up to three items from the ACME Catalog and come up with a Coyote-esque scheme to capture the Road Runner, preferably alive. It doesn't have to be too detailed or anything. Get it to me in voicemail, office hours, or class thread by Saturday (so I have some time to come up with results) and there will be a Danger Shop post on Sunday detailing the holographic simulation. Show up to that if you can/want to. Oh, and try to abide by the laws in your plan, both societal and natural. In other words, don't count on gravity to stop working all of a sudden (even though it could), and don't use a Disintegrater Gun to kill RR without him being armed. Class Info Post.]

*Tick stood at the podium as usual. He was wearing a tie. He looked slightly more professorly with it. Not that there was any way to go but up...*

Hello, class! Those of you who are new to Criminal Justice, we welcome you! Those of you who are old to this course, well, we welcome you as well, because you shouldn't be left out!

Now, remember, there's a project due this week. In the name of Fairness, I'm changing the due date slightly. Since I doubt anyone has started yet due to Parents Weekend, I'm going to give you until Saturday to hand me your plans to catch the fugitive. The ACME Catalog will be in the class until then, available for your use.

Okay, today's class is going to be a little light so you have time to work on your projects. This topic will be more of a "getting to know you" discussion. Of the three parts of the justice system - the police/superheroes, the courts, and corrections/jail - which one is of the most interest to you and why?

This week's extra credit is tied to the project. Choose at least one ACME product for your project that nobody else is using. This should give more credit to the people who are pushing the limits of their creativity and are trying more unique solutions. There are enough products that nobody should have trouble doing this.

Finally, on a personal note, I wanted to thank you all for the kind words in your evaluations. It's good to know that people dig the Justice Pie I'm serving. That the Coffee of Knowledge that I have been pouring is perfectly caffeinated! Indeed, the best part of waking up is Justice in your cup! Now if only I could figure out why there were twice as many evaluations as there should have been. I suspect... *Tick walked to the classroom door*, "that there might be people at the door listening in!" Tick swiftly opened the door to see nobody there.

"Huh. They're fast. Oh well, we'll get them eventually!"

Heh. Shortsighted of him to underestimate your skill with a frying pan. Especially given his experience with an Ewok with a grudge, a giant acorn and really good aim.

...what's an Ewok? It sounds cute and fuzzy.

Yup. Totally cute and fuzzy. Also only about a meter tall. Not Obi-Wan's finest moment.

You're talking to the girl who had to carry Logan-as-a-bunny around in her purse for a weekend. I know perfectly well that cute and fuzzy doesn't mean that they can't be angry and borderline psychotic too.

And now Obi-Wan remembers, too. He had a bruise on his thigh for almost a month. Hee. And he had to explain into to the Council, too. "Totally lost in an attack by a walking teddy bear" isn't exactly the reputation the Jedi are trying to cultivate.

Poor Obi-Wan. I can only imagine how that went over.

But I can relate - my ex-boyfriend got a black eye from a swan once.

I'm not without my own share of stellar moments. None of which I will tell you about, hahahaha.

And yet I remained unmoved. Some other time, though, I promise. Especially if it'll help lift your spirits.

Just trying to cheer up the Caffeinator, sir!

Of course. Although I'm sure there's a lesson to be gleaned about Justice somewhere in that Ewok story. I'd just have to think about for a while.
