The Art of BS, Thursday, January 15, 2015, 4th period

"Well, you might have noticed by now that every thing you say is true, which totally sucks in a class about bullshitting," Josh said with a pout. "It's like the island was out to get me today or something. I'm feeling pretty paranoid."

Thanks for sharing, Josh.

"So this'll be an experimental class. Today, instead of bullshitting out loud, I want you to help us write a pamphlet about Fandom that would pass muster at the most boring college in a mundane world with a completely unimaginative admission reviewer. I want you to take the name of one of your other classes and make it sound, you know, not insane, and instead make it sound like a class any jerk in Indiana, the world's most cursed state, would also take." Josh shrugged. "Bonus points if you can make Pinkie Pie seem normal. And....go."

Exercise! Can you write bullshit today?

Spin "The Art of BS" into a regular art class! Make Derek teach Home Ec! Normalize the school if you can!

Edward stared at his piece of paper for a long time.

Finally, he reached over and painstakingly wrote his own name at the top of the paper.

Then he sat back.

He didn't want to ask the professor how you spelled 'Creative'. Or 'Problem'. This exercise... was going to take him a while, and would be notable largely for its large amount of spelling errors and terrible handwriting.

Travis hadn't experienced a truth day before so this was going to be interesting. He wrote a few things about the island that were true but when he tried to explain some oddities in normal ways, well...let's just say he couldn't.

Look, Raven was just glad her usual disguise didn't count as lying with her body or something, today. Maybe she wore it so often that it really was kind of her? Or maybe pretending to look like something else didn't count as lying.

She'd love to test it all out by turning into, say, the teacher for a bit, but she couldn't quite bring herself to do it. Which was telling in and of itself.

Instead, she sat at her desk, chewing on her pen to keep from blurting out "I'm naked all the time" in the middle of the class room, and thought about how to make a class on making your way through the world with paranormal powers sound boring and prosaic.

Johnny wrote down Comprehending Science and Technology: It's what it says in the title. No fancy bells and whistles there, unless they need to be comprehended.

Done. The rest of the class was spent writing variations of "I'm awesome" on scratch paper and being confident that it was the truth.

Joker got a-writing.

Fandom High is a unique school with quaint, Old World charm situated close to the nation's capital. It is often overlooked in favor of more prestigious schools, but it attracts a diverse student body, including some of the world's brightest.

...

Fandom's Home Economics and Art teacher, Professor Pinkamena Diana Pie, is known for the exuberance and joie de vivre with which she engages the students. This semester, she is teaching a course she has called 'Friendship is Cakes!', in which the students will learn not just how to bake and decorate cakes, but how to more fully express themselves thereby.
