For once, the class hadn't been invited to some kind of bizarre Danger Shopped monstrosity.

They were out at the parking lot instead.

"Um," said Jeff. That was his greeting. "Um," he repeated, and waved his arm at the parking lot. "Um."

Jamie blinked at Jeff for a second in confusion. "Are we doing yoga today?" he asked mistaking Jeff's "um's" for a mantra. "Because I thought we we're doing the Driver Ed thing."

"I'm sorry!" Jeff said, at a volume much louder than necessary. "I'm under a lot of pressure today!"

Jamie sighed and then grinned at the students. "Today class we're going to be continuing-"

And this would be the point where Jamie was giving the class a very obvious wink.

"-Our driver's education studies. Yes. Where we make sure that we're always following traffic rules. And wearing seat belts. And watching movies of car crashes with disembowled people who didn't wear their seat belts. Just like we do every week."

"Yes," Jeff said. His voice had an audible squeak to it. "As we do every week!" He couldn't sound less convincing if he tried. "Oh god."

"Unfortunately due to a slight snafu in planning, we won't have cars for you to drive today," Jamie said only showing the slightest trace of hesitation in his voice. "So instead you'll be driven around today in limos. By a driver named Ed."

Jamie then let out a slight embarrassed cough. "Except for a few of you who have the lucky opportunity of being driven around in a clown car by a clown named Ed."

"Jamie," Jeff hissed. "We have to act normal!" He was sweating pearls just trying to do that, Jamie! You couldn't do that to him! He was flailing! ... Yes, actually flailing, limbs and all.

"It could have been worse," Jamie hissed back. "We almost got mimes."

"No mimes!" Jeff declared. "Look! We'll just... we'll look at cars!"

His voice broke like he was a fifteen-year-old.

"But we can't have Drivers Ed without driving," Jamie reasoned. "Otherwise the class would just be 'Looking at Cars with a guy named Ed getting paid to stand around'."

"Toy cars!" Jeff exclaimed, apropos of nothing.

"You mean like bumper cars?" Jamie asked. "I'm not sure some of the kids are tall enough to go on that ride."

Yes, Dave. Jamie was looking at you.

"No, no, no no no no no no. No." Beat. "I'm over-noing, aren't I?" Don't answer that, Jamie. Just don't.

Jeff shook his arms. Then shook them again. Then shook them a third time, when suddenly a bunch of tiny toy cars fell out onto the pavement. "You need to-- safe! Drive these around. Safely!" he exclaimed.

"...Very safely! Keep things safe, or you'll fail the class, and we can't... we can't... ohgodJamieIcan'tdothis!"

At which point Jeff started to shake. Which was as good a 'get started!' as they were ever going to get.

"Good morning," Jamie said cheerfully as the students walked into the room. "In light of the annual invasion of kidlings on our island, Jeff and I thought it would be appropriate to talk about alternative forms of birth control. Granted, Mr. Rogers probably covered some more of the-"

Cue finger quotes. Yes. Jamie is using finger quotes. Get over it.

"Mainstream versions of birth control but I think everyone here knows that often times that's probably not going to work out for you. Plus knowing Mr. Rogers it was probably all about abstinence and if you think he never had sex before marriage well... Okay, I probably don't want to think about that. Anyhow! Alternative forms of birth control! I think Jeff has a good one to start off with. Jeff?"

"Um."

Somehow being asked to talk about his life's worst miseries was not as bad as actually having to do so. "There are... ways," Jeff said gravely. "They are... they are terrible ways." He took a moment to compose himself. "Oh god," he added, "This one is so awful!"

Okay, so maybe that composing himself had been a failure.

He took a step closer to the class. His lip trembled. His hand shook.

"You could... tell someone you've got a wooden leg!" Oh god. The terror!

"Which... could be a turn off. Or you could actually have a kid," Jamie contributed. "Only to find out it was a kid but actually a duplicate who you then absorbed back into yourself which prompts the birth mother to break your fingers and beat the crap out of you."

Jamie paused for a moment and realized that maybe spending a lot of time with Jeff was rubbing off on him somehow.

"The moral being that once you have that happened to you the libido takes a serious hit."

Jeff waved his arms around. "There are a lot of ways not to have babies," he proclaimed. "There's more of them than there are to have babies!" Beat. "I have a list," he added, reaching into his pocket and holding it up. "Insulting mothers," he started. "Insulting fathers. Insulting twin brothers. Insulting twin brothers who are dwarves. Socks. Apples. Not being able to speak Hebrew. Telling someone they look so good, they should be embalmed. Telling someone you've got a girlfriend who is dead. Not accepting the presence of decorative pillows..."

He could go on a bit.

"...Overalls, the color red, pretending to have a baby, pretending to be having a baby--"

Jamie was giving Jeff a funny look. Which really shouldn't be an odd occurrence knowing Jeff. "Did you say embalmed?"

"I was trying to be complimentary," Jeff explained. "But I just said the first thing that came to mind." Beat. "That's also a really good contraceptive."

"Right," Jamie said with a few blinks. "Okay then. So you're assignment today? Come up with some alternative forms of birth control and share them with your fellow students."

Which shouldn't be awkward at all.

"Oh, and never wear melting underwear!" Jeff called. "...Though that might just be a dream I've had."


Jamie opened his mouth to say something... and decided it was best to let that one go. "All right kids! Take a few minutes and let's hear what you come up with."

When the students entered the Danger Shop today they would probably notice that the environment had been transformed into an insane looking obstacle course.

And furthermore they might be confused as to why Jamie is welcoming everyone in class in Japanese. And rather bad Japanese as well since Jamie just told everyone "Hello! Welcome to my pants! Yesterday we will be eating your skills by kissing a water buffalo."

Jeff, who could speak two languages: English, and snippets-of-Welsh, had absolutely no idea what Jamie was saying. He stole a look at Jamie and wondered privately if he'd broken his inner translator again, an idea that left him with great and barely-restrained panic. "We're going to be running a course!" he called, sounding oddly panicked.

Jamie nodded in agreement and then gestured for everyone to don their protective gear and welcomed them all to try and attempt the course with a partner if they so chose while massacring the Japanese language. For anyone who did speak the language they might wonder why Jamie was telling them to wear kumquats and suture themselves to the arms of their fellow students.

"Um," Jeff said, sounding more choked up and panicked by the minute. "Er. Er. You should team up and go on the course! That's what he's saying. Is he actually saying that? Am I just not hearing it properly?!"

Jamie nodded in agreement while telling Jeff and the entire class that monkeys were currently en route to eat their brains in Japanese. Or he was telling everyone to begin since he was blowing a whistle and pointing at the obstacle course.

Today's Danger Shop scenario? Apparently involved being at the happiest place on Earth.

"Don't get too excited," Jamie replied as he directed everyone to a somewhat hidden door which read "Staff Only". "Your assignment today? Dress up in costumes and try not to get pummeled by small children. Oh, and no princess costumes. Unless you're a guy."

"These outfits are the best," Jeff crowed. At least, it was probably Jeff, considering that the large duck had a heavy Welsh accent. "Nobody can see me like this!"

"However it does limit your hookups with single moms since you can't talk," Jamie noted. "Though in Jeff's particular outfit his has an advantage as his character isn't wearing any pants. Anyhow, suit up and go out and try not to scar the memories of children everywhere. And avoid getting hit in a certain personal area."

Jeff's agonized yell of, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY PANTS?" would just have to be their guide to the changing rooms.

"Hello everyone!"

Today, the Danger Shop contained tables. Many, many tables. Tables with loads of glasses on them.

And only Jeff.

Today, I'd like to teach you about a terrible threat to our persons... )

When the students arrived at the Danger Shop today they would see a most familiar image. That is if they were from Earth and they were in a time period where they've watch the Oscars on TV.

Yep. There was a red carpet, a danger-shopped paparazzi filled with a frenzy to take all of the students pictures.

"Greetings!" Jamie cried out, looking fabulous in a tuxedo, "And welcome to the Fandom Awards! There's clothes and a place to change into something fabulous for the red carpet! But don't take too long or you'll miss the award ceremony!"

"And make sure you've pasted your dresses and tuxes on right!" said Jeff, who looked rather more disorganized in his tux. "Nobody needs a nip slip tonight!" Thank you, Jeff.

"Oh and nobody pose like Angelina Jolie!" Jamie added. "She's got a trademark on it now and she'll probably slap you into next week."

Jamie didn't add that people should look out for a Jamie duplicate wearing a weird military uniform and carrying an urn. That part should probably be implied.

"Don't worry!" Jeff hollered, waving his hands at the paparazzi. "They're not real! No one will be judging your clothes tomorrow!" He sounded an awful lot like that had been said to him repeatedly during the minutes leading up to the class. He also sounded terribly unsure.

"Unless someone gets gremlin bit and thinks they are Joan Rivers," Jamie added. "In the meantime... let the festivities begin!"
[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com
"So, you've all been to Rio!"

Jeff hadn't. You could tell.

"All warm and full of people and beaches and bikinis..." he trailed off briefly, his eyes glazing over. "... er." Anyway. "Bikinis can be dangerous, though," he quickly interjected. "That's why there's been films about Rio. It's all about... dangerous bikinis." Or something.

"And birds," Jamie said with a nod. "Ones that skateboard. Which have less to do with bikinis but I hear one of them was nominated for something."

"Skateboarding birds?" Jeff said, squinting at Jamie. "Jamie, that sounds a bit silly."

Yes, Jeff was saying this.

"Well I don't think this one ever learned to fly," Jamie said frowning in turn. "And was kidnapped. Or something. I forget."

Quite possibly because Jamie only flipped by the movie on his way to a Baywatch marathon.

Well, who could blame him for that? "How did that get Oscar nominated?" Jeff said. "Now I sort of want to know. I mean, if it's got birds in it..."

"Well I just happen to have a copy of it right here?" Jamie said holding up the DVD. "Shall we force our students to watch it and critique it?"

Jeff looked thoughtful for like... two seconds.

Then he shrugged. "Works for me."

Is it really any shock that when students enter the Danger Shop that it's been transformed into a unique environment? Is it just a given now?

So really we don't need to write that any more, right?

Right.

So.

When the students entered the Danger Shop... )

[OCD is up. Dance. Dance, I say.]

Today, the students would find themselves in the Danger Shop... facing Jeff and a chihuahua.

Jeff looked markedly less energetic than usual - in fact, he seemed downright mopey. "Jamie's a dog this week so we won't be doing our planned lesson," he said. "Actually I'm not even sure why we're here because I think the school board was really clear that Jamie had to be in the class, but I brought him and I thought I'd try and teach you after all. It would be a shame if you had to miss a class."

Some people might beg to differ about that, Jeff.

"Anyway, I thought I'd take this week to teach you all about dogs," he said. "Now dogs can be really useful, but they're also treacherous. They make me nervous, and it's for a really good reason. I used to have this dog actually, a Saint Bernard, she'd drool on everything and clobber me mid-conversation and it never ended well."

Apparently teaching with only a yippy dog at his feet made Jeff talky.

"So I think it's important we all learn how to deal with dogs in a social context, because you might think that trying to chat up a woman with a puppy on you is a really good idea, but it's not realistic, is it? I mean, I've tried-- well, okay, I told someone I had a dog because I got nervous about her dog and then she wouldn't stop asking after the dog which made me even more nervous. And that tends to lead to stupid lies. No good can come from lying about dogs, all right? It's a recipe for disaster is what it is."

He stepped aside, pulling on a curtain. On one end of the Danger Shop was a large kennel with a variety of puppies. On the other side was... the inside of a coffee shop.

"What I want you all to do is get a puppy," he said, "and attempt to chat each other up while you have the puppies on you. Or just chat, that can be disastrous in and of itself."

There was a long pause.

Jamuahua yipped.

"...that's it."

"Good morning class," Jamie said cheerfully as they all filed in. "Today we have a special treat for that goes along with what happened over the weekend. Specifically a part of the female anatomy called... The bosom."

Yes. The Bosom )

[OOC: Today's assignment deals with Jeff and Jamie talking about female anatomy and assigning students a task that no teacher in their right minds would ever ever ever assign. Jeff and Jamie are not in their right minds. If we spirits have offended think but this; and all is mended that you have but RP'd here while these visions did appear and this weak and idle theme no more yielding but a dream. Gentles--do not reprehend if you pardon, we will mend. And, as I am an honest Madrox if we have unearned ...Box. Now to scape the serpents tongue. We will make amends ere long else the Jamie a liar call. So--goodnight unto you all. Give me your hands if we be friends. And Jamie shall restore amends.

Also: If you're easily offended by the use of female anatomy in jokes and feel uncomfortable, you may not wish to read.]

"Good morning class," Jamie said cheerfully as the students wandered in. "Today we're going to be dealing with some... special issues. Why are they special? Well because at some point the American Broadcasting Company thought they were special and made a television show about it. Or if you watched NBC at all it was just a show called meta for Blossum."

"So these are all the things people should know how to deal with," Jeff segued neatly. "It's like... a guidebook to living! Except without explaining all the most important things, like what to say to a woman, or when to take your socks off when you're about to sleep with someone."

Jamie opened his mouth to say something until what Jeff said registered in his brain. He took a moment to boggle at his co-teacher before continuing on. "Today in class you will be assigned a situation based on one of this after school special issues. And since this is Fandom, we've updated those issues so it would be appropriate for this environment. Then you will have to work with your classmates or us in order to resolve your problem. Anything else to add Jeff?"

"Some of these scenarios might be a bit... traumatic," Jeff added. "If it gets to be too much, you're free to run out for a bathroom break."

He held up both of his thumbs. "Good luck!"

And then there were assignments:
Sam Puckett: I'm preggers with an alien baby
Dave Nelson: I've just shrunk to the size of a action figure
Cara: I'm hooked on powdered gremlin
Rilla Blythe: People judge me for eating penguins which is part of my religion
Butters Stoch: I accidentally convinced my girlfriend I'm quadriplegic.
Stacey McGill: My trousers keep falling off in embarrassing places.
Miley Stewart: I can't stop saying 'gusset' at inappropriate times.
Jeremy Darling: I'm naked. That's it.
Jace Wayland: My father is half greyhound and I keep chasing my own tail
Juliet Darling: Monkeys keep throwing asparagus at my head
Anna Korlov: When I cry it rains chocolate pudding
Hank Venture: I've become allergic to anyone who is affected by an after school special
Elphaba Thropp: Everyone judges me because I'm part camel
Jim Hawkins: Hooked on Phonics
Billy Kaplan: I constantly move like Jagger.
Sov: Smoking is cool.
Hanna Marin: Boys only find me attractive when I wear underwear on my head

"Hello everyone!" Jeff called. For reasons unknown, the classroom had been packed full of sofas. Big sofas, tiny sofas, sofa sofas... look, Jeff wasn't a sofa-expert, all right? "Today Jamie and I will be talking..." his voice dropped to a More Serious Note, "...about subtext."

"Which by the way has nothing to do with a sandwich or reading a book on a submarine," Jamie added oh-so-helpfully.

"My mother always taught me that Captain Subtext could see everything, 'cause he had the secret power of truth-detection," Jeff continued happily. (If sounding like his happiness was a little laced with fear.) "See, sometimes you say things, but you're actually thinking other things, and it appears in what you're saying through subtext!" Thank you, Jeff. "Captain Subtext can always tell if you're lying. There's a few ways how..."

"And believe it or not," Jamie said as he turned on the projector and displayed an image on the screen behind Jeff, "Most of them don't involve text at all."

"Prickles," Jeff continued doggedly, tagging that off on one finger, "Blurts. Headlaughs. If you notice any of these symptoms in succession in another human being, I can tell you, they're lying." He jabbed his finger up in the air to underscore his point. "But that one, you'll have to see in action! Today, we're bringing Captain Subtext's Helmet of Truth Detection right here in the classroom with you!"

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

"It's really very impressive," Jamie said with a nod of affirmation as he switched the image on the screen behind Jeff for another featuring everyone's favorite coupling from Wendy the Werewolf Hunter.

Meanwhile, a mechanical voice loudly proclaimed, "CAPTAIN SUBTEXT TRANSMITTING. TRUTH HELMET ACTIVATED. AUTO-TRANSLATE OPTION ENABLED."

The lights in the classroom suddenly flashed and became green.

"It is of the greatest importance known to man that you learn to understand the power of subtext," Jeff proclaimed, sounding Very Intense Indeed. "You will find someone and talk to them and the Helmet of Truth Detection will chime when it senses you are lying. It will translate your real thoughts and project them on the walls!"

The only message on the walls right now? JEFF HAS ISSUES WITH HIS MOTHER.

Words like 'Cleft' and 'Gusset' also began to flash briefly on the walls.

"Not that you have any embarassing thoughts we'd like to see," Jamie added as another message reading I WISH MY HAIR WAS PRETTY AS ANAKIN SKYWALKER'S. He also switched the image again to show some teammates from X-Factor back home.

"Which is why we'll be wearing these," Jeff finished, holding up two bizarre helmets with sunglasses attached. He handed one to Jamie. "Get to talking!"
[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com
Today's class was in the Danger Shop today though the room itself resembled a normal classroom. Except for the fact that there was a duplicate of Jamie tied up in a straight jacket, tied to a dolly with a rather scary looking mask attached to his face.

"Good morning kids!" Jamie said cheerfully. "Today we're going to discuss a very important topic that will no doubt affect some of you at one time or other in the future."

First Principles... )
[identity profile] scary-jeff.livejournal.com
Red drapes hung on the back wall of the classroom. A stage had been built against the back of it, made of pretty oak wood. A small puppet theater stood on a platform on the stage, and more red drapes hung on both sides of the room, a few feet away from the back wall.

It was silent. Empty. Dark.

And then, very softly, a first opening drumroll...

A line of Jamies appeared snapping their fingers in time to the music and occasionally striking a dramatic pose here nd there along the way. With a flourish of jazz hands they all then pointed at the puppet theater where two puppets who looked liked Toby Macguire and Andrew Garfield were doing battle with each other while wearing Arachnid Guy costumes without the masks.

A smooth voice rolled out of the speakers. "Arachnid Guy, Arachnid Guy, knows just how to catch the fly. Poops a web, rarely cries, never heaves just throws pies-- look out! Here comes Arachnid Guy!"

And Now It's Time For Interpretive Dance! )

Grissom is in a shockingly jovial mood. He's even rocking a costume and has candy (without bugs) for his students. Must have some good Halloween childhood memories buried somewhere.

Criminology

Here is the study guide for your midterm exam. [it will be an 'essay question', but feel free to study/stress]

To review, in class today I would like you to discuss one thing you have learned in this class so far, and how it either surprised you, or changed your mind in regards to a certain topic. If that is not the case in any aspect, why not?


Death and Dying

Discussion: Your homework was to Choose a death by suicide from Shakespeare's work, and share a short reaction to it. Please do so.

Your midterm exam will be on Wednesday! It will be an in-class essay, in a similar vein to the homework you are turning in. Using what you have learned in class, and moving on to our accidental death chapter, please analyze A Darwin Award Winner or Honourable Mention. You may bring in notes on one 3x5 index card.
