Mr. Green is coming after you!

Sure, I'd love to read the paper. Sounds like a great thesis.

(By the way--I don't like Vicky, either. It's just fun to rub in. )

My Gilgamesh paper was a comparison/contrast essay discussing the differences and similarities between the Gilgamesh flood and Noah's. I can PM it to you, too, if you'd like to see it (although everything I said has probably hit you already!).

Working through the text of Montgomery's talk between bouts of homework--that guy is brilliant. I should kidnap him and force him to come down here... *sighs* Although I don't think I'd trade Dr. Cook for him. I likes my philosophy class.

Good. What is the topic, specifically?

Aww. I hope you get it worked out all right. How long is the essay supposed to be?

Yeah--I ran into that problem in English 103. I didn't like stating the thesis so bluntly, but teachers expect it on school projects, so I've adapted. My English teacher was about as fussy about quotes as yours is, too. That class was good for me though--it helped me know how to focus my writing better in nonfiction stuff. (It was in that class I got to study Oedipus Rex. That was a joy.

My psychology teacher has us working on a project where we describe different people who are in each of eight developmental stages. She wants us to use our imaginations, so I'm casting all of my subjects (including my baby brother, Mom, and Pappy) as criminals. How's that for creativity?

A different one--yeah, really. I'm glad my history professor isn't that strict. Or, at least, he wasn't about my Gilgamesh paper. Right now, my geography paper is what's threatening. That one is definitely a big deal, and the teacher has a reputation for being strict about that paper. I know two people who've taken that class before, and both failed a part of the paper--one for plagerism (he had no idea), and the other because the website she had quoted/paraphrased from a lot disappeared, leaving her unable to cite her sources. Messy business: I just hope that I'm not unknowingly plagerizing or something worse. At least the research should be interesting; I'm doing Armenia.

An unrivaled set of teeth. See how they glisten in the moonlight? I hear he brushes 25 times a day...

Thanks, and congratulations yourself on the honorable mention!

As cute as an elephant-octopus cross.

You actually expect me to be our friend after your harsh comments against Mr. Green? j/k I will be your friend.

I am an inmate. But, although I did develop multiple personality disorder last year, my personalities, at least, are all sane. I think.

I almost forgot that conversation....

You're taking Lossy's advice now? This is concerning. Do you realize that she lost her sanity years ago? (You are not permitted follow-up questions on that one. Not if I'm the subject.)

Exactly where are these designated areas you're eating in?

We Telmarines do not believe in paranormal beings such as ghosts. Wait, what's that woo-ooing sound I hear? I'll have my servant check it out.

Oops, I forgot Miraz! He will not be happy! Of course, I "took care" of him myself.

This is Eeky ; he's a page, Dr. Query is a professor at the state university, we all know Waldo , and Mrs. Purple-frown is a prisoner. Most of our Telmarine prisoners are sad; it's very strange.

Here's Winky , The Original Smiley , Ms. Blush , and Pinky . They are all Telmarine dukes.

If you ever by any quirk get the chance, watch a Seventies Hong Kong kung-fu movie whose English release title was "Seven Blows of the Dragon." It is an adaptation of "The Water Margin," and will give you a feel for what Chinese swashbuckler stories are like, the inspiration for mine.

You are sealing your coffin! Mr. Green is very respected in Telmar! We made him Secretary of Smile.

How do you like Mr. Cool?

HOW COULD YOU CRITICIZE MR. GREEN? That is treason! Your punishment is four Mr. Greens!
