[Lord T Hawkeye]

Ah Wraith, this is why I love ya!

    "I'm a midgetarian"
    "What's that?"
    "I'm for smaller government."
    "Oh, you mean a libertarian?"
    "No, when I say smaller, I don't mean fewer officials, I mean physically shorter ones.  It would be the first time our leaders looked up to us, and if they get corrupt, you just throw them out."

found this comment just now on YT. pure win:

"Joe America: I am tired of getting fucked.

Democrats: we really want to keep fucking you. We promise to be gentle.
Republicans: we want to fuck you in a different position.
That is all I kept hearing at the RNC & DNC. Just remember no matter how they word it or spin it to your liking, you are still getting fucked by a donkey and an elephant."

[Ibrahim90]

this poem, based and style on "ye madcaps of England" (you can find the original sung on Youtube):


[spoiler]

"Ye students of highschool", a lampoon based on "Ye madcaps of England"

Ye students of high-school who merry would make
And for your grave future would pains undertake
Come over to Uni and there you shall see
How merry we'll make it how frolic will be

If you've been a student accepted by chance
And would by you courage and credit advance
Here's stuff to be won by a gamble in life
So leave at home your good sure old life

But if upon Wenches you've spent all your means
And still your mind runs upon whores and parties
Here's wenches enow that with you will go,
From headache to headache, though better you know

Your TA's and professors are very kind,
If that you can flatter and speak to their mind,
They will free you from homework and all other trouble
Your toadying done, your homework comes double

As soon as you've come to your Uni's land
Where lots of food and liquor you have at command
Sing eat them or drink them or let them alone
Sing go out and fetch them, your money will be gone

And when you break a bank, or a leg
You shall have to pass through the country to beg
Your admins promise you some sort of pay
But the student ne'er gets, no, not till Doom's day!

At last when you've come to your ceremony.
Where many a graved student and gentleman walked,
And when you have done the best that you can
Your department rewards you "there ruined a man!"

We're having quite a bit of strife with teachers here in Ontario, but there's some very strange things happening.

School boards aren't being allowed to attempt to negotiate contracts this time.  The province has, unilaterally, legislated a new contract (including wage rollbacks, reduction in sick days, changes in how sick days work, and other things) which, given that the province sets the rules for collective bargaining as well, amounts to them acting in bad faith (although they have no actual role in the negotiations in the first place, since teachers are employed by individual school boards, not directly by the province).

Naturally, the teachers unions are livid about this.  I'm surprised that the school boards aren't livid as well, given that negotiating the contracts is one of the relatively few things they actually get to do.  Take that away from them, and the province will cut their salaries again.  (It happened back in the 90's when school board members were officially made part-time positions only, with appropriately limited pay.  This was done as part of a package of removing duplicated functions from local boards and moving them to the provincial level, like developing curriculum standards and everything else not related to providing school buildings, equipment, and personnel.)
