Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

there are no hard days at publik skool! by the way, grimmy. xsteen got a 60% on this week's algebra quiz, i may have to be engaging you for tutoring purposes!

[Argh]

Considering the nugatory quality of the targets, for this woman to hit them when blotto means she should be a sniper on some SWAT team.

I've been a checker/challenger for the camapign of the Repubican running against Joe Biden since early this morning. I'm whipped!!!!!!!!

The above is true ONLY if spoken from the stoodint's perspective.

Students, unfortunately the time has come where I can no longer be "teacher" for WFTD. The circumstances have drastically changed since I took over, and now it is simply too much for me to handle.

Please talk amoungst yourselves and see if someone else would like to be "co-teacher" with Bella.

[TheGrimReaper]

Another gratuitous election-night ossifier.....

[Gabz]

I really did not need any more bad news tonight

[xsmommy]

[TheGrimReaper]

Are you planning to critique ALL my ossifying favorites?

[xsmommy]

no, i love Ann. i think she is hysterical, but she is too skinny and bony!

[TheGrimReaper]

If only I could give you a hands-on confirmation of your premise........

[paulklenk]

Rika, I'm sorry to see you go, but you've done an EXCELLENT job and have represented the class and FR with dignity, class and grace. Hope circumstances bring you back again.

[VRWCmember]

I'm so sorry to hear this Miss Rika. I hope that the change in circumstances is an overall improvement for you if it takes you away from us. You are awesome and really make everyone feel a part of this crazy group. I hope you'll still be able to drop in and participate regularly.

FRegards,

VRWCmember

[NeoCaveman]

You will still be coming to class from time to time as a coquette, right?

[Argh]

Ann's indeed way too skinny. But Jimbo LOST! Bah!! He got 15% of the vote.

[xsmommy]

oh jimbo lost, but things have gone so well otherwise! if we can just hang on in MN and SD, where they are manufacturing Dem votes as we speak!

No F*ng Media Bias ??????

After showering at the Gym, on my way out, Scummy little troll Matt Lauer, was interviewing Scummy little troll Dasshole, and behind him is a graphic showing Thune Up by about 2000 votes, and he sez "And this shows Tim Johnson trying to Hold off John Thune"

Wishful F*ng Thinking, but Thune is Holding Off Johnson you johnson.....No, no Bias there...

Miss Rika, I feel like I've been kicked in the throat!

I want you to do what is best for you, but that doesn't lessen the pain. I'll send you a freepmail later.

God bless,
