[OOC: Keeping with the low-impact lectures. Wheee. I may be slow to reply at work today, just FYI. Class Info Post.]

"Hello, class!" Tick said fron his normal position at the front of the room. "Remember, your projects are due next Tuesday. You'll have some time to work on them at the end of class, but today we go back to lecture and discussion as well."

"Today we'll be talking about private investigators. PIs. Private eyes. Private smurfs," Tick said to cover up any potentially dirty interpretation of a popular nickname. "Gumshoes. Among many other names. The profession of Holmes, Spade, Magnum, and Addison. I'm talking about the sometimes noble, sometimes skeezy, always interesting, world of private detecting."

"PIs often work for people in court cases for a number of purposes. Maybe they're checking to make sure a witness or defendant is on the up-and-up. Sometimes they're checking to see if a person with a signifcant other has another other that is in some way significant. And sometimes they're called upon to solve the big crimes that the police just can't figure out."

"In a way, they're almost like superheroes, only without powers, with a salary, and with more frequent trips into the bad parts of town for non-evil-whomping purposes. They outthink evil. And that's keen!"

"For discussion today, please talk aboutyour views on private eyeing. Have any experience with them? Seen them enough on television to know what's up? Are you one. and if so, do you have any stories to share? After this discussion, you can jump into your teams for the project if you need class time to work on them."

"This week's metaphor is umbrellas. And for extra credit, please come up with two more nicknames for private investigators. IF you get suggestive with the private smurves, though, you can only do so for one of the nicknames. So keep it clean!"

[OOC: Veronica has offered to answer questions about PIs.]

"I don't know, I'm not on crack!"

"But the question is who would you ship if you were?" He grins.

"Marty and screwball comedies," she says. "Rory with a good comantic comedy, maybe something starring Meg Ryan."

"Rory could definitely do with some romance in her life even if it's the Meg Ryan kind," Cameron agrees as he thinks back to Friday.

Jaye looks towards her purse, expecting to hear something about burning Bridgey. "I think Rory's fine," she says.

"In a Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle sort of way or City of Angels?" Shut up, he's got a little sister. "Or maybe You've got mail?"

"When Harold Met Sarah, definitely," she nods.

Cameron groans and beats his head lightly on his desk as he'll forever be associating that movie with Blair now.

"I know, I hate that movie, too."

He frowns. "Does that mean you hate Rory?"

"No... I just think Rory's more suited for the movie than me."

He tilts his head. "Why?"

"Because."

He raises an eyebrow because 'because' isn't an answer.
