Life Lessons Through Screen Time, Friday

[captainskullpoopl]

"We should probably actually...teach you to do something in this class, huh?" Vanessa asked. "Or rather, show you a show that will teach you to do something, because that's the whole theme of this class." It was probably for the best they didn't try to actually teach.

"Naaaah," Wade said, waving his hand dismissively. "Like all high school classes, this won't teach you anything. It's when you get stuck in detention with a ragtag group of fellow students that you learn stuff. Like The Breakfast Club. Or the new Jumanji movie with The Rock. Babe, why couldn't we get him to play Colossus?"

Vanessa considered this for a moment before asking, "Do you mean like...roleplaying? Because I would be into that, if you think we could get The Rock to--oh right we're in front of minors."

"We'll discuss it later," he assured her. "But today we have Alton Brown before he gave into his darker urges on Cut Throat Kitchen."

"That's right," Vanessa agreed. "We're going to watch some randomly-selected episodes of Good Eats! Can you hear the theme music? I can hear the theme music."

"It's time to think you can cook when you're better off sticking to delivery," Wade sang happily.

"Enjoy learning how to cook...something," Vanessa said, and hit play.

Watch the Show

Oh, Alton. Still pure as far as we know. He might be a secret killer, though.

Sidon had...very little interest in cooking, especially considering that his diet consisted mainly of raw and freshly caught seafood and little else (except, inexplicably, pizza), and the only person he would perhaps desire to learn cooking for had a stomach that could withstand nearly anything. Including raw seafood (and, of course, pizza). So he didn't necessarily consider today's lesson very useful (truth be told, he usually didn't in this class, though he always tried to find something to take out of it), but he did find it interesting, most likely thanks to the host's unique charms and interesting format.

Breq had given up on this class making sense, but she didn't mind watching this, as long as she could hum songs to herself at the same time.

Talk to the Teachers

Who were probably fervently discussing plans for one Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

I've had too much caffeine somehow.
