Shop Class: [2/8]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students will find that it has been turned into a movie theater, complete with comfy seating, popcorn and soda.

"Good Morning class. As some of you may have noticed, I was out of town last Wednesday doing some work for my former employer. Somehow that... uh... "work" was taped using pirate radio technology and mistakenly broadcast during a major sporting event over the weekend. Despite the breach in security, I thought you might like to see how one one can escape a dangerous situation by using the most commonplace items."

Mac then shows the work safe footage to the class.

When it's done, Mac turns to the class and gives each student a Mastercard.

"Each card has only $20.00 on it. Your assignment today is to go to town and purchase five items for your own personal survival kit. I then want you to tell me how each item can be used to escape a dangerous situation and why it would be priceless. Assume that you already have a Swiss Army Knife and duct tape. I'll give extra credit for those people who come up with ten items."

[[ETA: Shop Assignment can be handed in on Monday if you need more time or want to play this out.]]

"Well, they were gonna be on my list, until some compact but well-muscled and not at all pudgy heathen beat me to it..."

"Well I don't care if some items on your lists match," Mac replied thoughtfully. "And I can see Twinkies being used for food or perhaps removing the filling so it could be used as a primative air filter."

Xander looked affronted at the second suggestion for a second, then slowly nodded. "Okay, yeah, that's a fair one. It's ok to not eat them for actual survival purposes. It's just the gratuitous mutilation that offends the gods."

"You know Harris, despite the creamy goodness and moist spongy cake those Twinkies are on the non-nutritious side," Mac says in a concern tone. "I hope that's not your only source of food."

"I'm a nineteen-year-old male human, sir. There's pretty much nothing I won't put into my mou---"

Xander stopped.

"--that's not a potential food-source. Except sauerkraut. Grrplech."

"Really? Because I have this recipe for whipped bean curd that's really tasty. I can make a batch and bring it in for you next time we have class," Mac said, clearly worried about Xander's nutrition.

"Er. Bean curd?" Xander looked left and right. "Not that I don't love... beany products... but... I think 'curd' should be a word reserved for dairy. In fact I was kind of under the impression they copyrighted it around the same time as 'Behold the Power of Cheese."

"Hmm. Obviously the National Bean council needs to work on their image. How about I make some of my world famous Whole Wheat non-modded banana Pancakes?" Mac offered.

Re: Assignment: [2/8]

[soldtoarmenians]

"See, now there you're talking. I'm always up for non-modded bananas."

"I can bring in some other breakfast foods as well. Do you prefer bacon or sausage?"

Re: Assignment: [2/8]

[soldtoarmenians]

"Mmm, bacon," Xander answered cheerfully. Because even Xander is incapable of imagining subtext coming from MacGyver.

Re: Assignment: [2/8]

"Then consider breakfast served next week," Mac said cheerily and what exactly is this subtext thing I've been hearing about?

It's when you talk _{like this} of course.
