lizepiphany: and i

lizepiphany: d

lizepiphany: be

lizepiphany: shocked

lizepiphany: i have a funny story

Lindsey986: do tell

lizepiphany: i talked to sarah laribee, my sister, sarah laribee, last night on the phone

lizepiphany: she's an english teacher, that sarah laribee is

Lindsey986: is she now?

lizepiphany: and she gave a handout to her class about the origins of communications

lizepiphany: yep

lizepiphany: as in the written word, the printing press, television....

Lindsey986: uh huh

lizepiphany: anyway, she included an example of chinese script, because they invented the written word

lizepiphany: so, at the end of class, one kid had stayed behind

lizepiphany: and he said

lizepiphany: uh, ms laribee, did you mean to put this in here?

lizepiphany: and she said

lizepiphany: what are you talking about?

Lindsey986: what was his name?

lizepiphany: and apparently, if you held the chinese writing at a 90 degree angle

lizepiphany: (his name was john)

Lindsey986: yay!

lizepiphany: it said "go [insert explitive here] yourself"

lizepiphany: rather clearly

Lindsey986: hmm

Lindsey986: interesting

lizepiphany: so she'd been fooled by the internet and its chinese writing

Lindsey986: that foolish internet

lizepiphany: and had handed it out to 40 students

lizepiphany: so she had to call all 40 sets of parents

lizepiphany: and then they pointed and laughed at open house

lizepiphany: the end.

Lindsey986: ouch

Lindsey986: it was a funny story until she had to call 40 sets of parents

Lindsey986: i think it's funny that it happened to sarah laribee though

Lindsey986: that is a rather hefty sized class to begin with

Lindsey986: 40 kids?

lizepiphany: well, like 30

Lindsey986: oh ok

Lindsey986: get it straight, laribee

lizepiphany: haha

lizepiphany: i highly recommend you listening to the I Am Sam soundtrack

Lindsey986: will do

lizepiphany: well, ok then tiger

Lindsey986: did you just call me tiger?

lizepiphany: um, i believe i did

lizepiphany: what do you plan to do about it?

Lindsey986: um, laugh at you

Lindsey986: no, shoot

lizepiphany: so, you know how ducks fly in v formation?

Lindsey986: well actually...... um, for the sake of the joke, sure

lizepiphany: uh, shut your pie hole, dorsey

Lindsey986: thanks, stupe

lizepiphany: hey

lizepiphany: it's my pleasure

Lindsey986: oh i know

lizepiphany: and i absolutely plan on being late to class today

Lindsey986: that's why allowed you to continue rambling on about some foul fowl

Lindsey986: when does your class start fool?

lizepiphany: don't you hate it when you're trying to be sly and cunning and then you forget to add the pronoun to the sentance?

lizepiphany: yeah, that's a shame

lizepiphany: it starts in 20 minutes

Lindsey986: fun

Lindsey986: mine doesn't start for another 2 1/2 horus

lizepiphany: oh, and i know that sometimes you have a hard time understanding things, so let me explain something to you

lizepiphany: i am making fun of you.

Lindsey986: i realize this.

Lindsey986: thank you, laribee

Lindsey986: i know that sometimes you feel the need to give obvious explanations, so go right ahead, please, continue

lizepiphany: i believe i shall.

Lindsey986: please do.

lizepiphany: the chick pea is neither a chick nor a pea.

Lindsey986: gee, really?

lizepiphany: yeah.

lizepiphany: you really must be stupid.

Lindsey986: your mother really must be stupid.

lizepiphany: actually, this is liz's mom typing.

Lindsey986: oh hello liz's mom

lizepiphany: hello.

lizepiphany: please never speak to my daughter again.

lizepiphany: and use a q-tip.

lizepiphany: because, i mean, geez.

lizepiphany: gross.

Lindsey986: thank you, please tell your daughter to become more creative with her name-calling.

Lindsey986: i mean, monkeyhead? come on.

lizepiphany: she didn't want to confuse you.

lizepiphany: you seem to have difficulty grasping grownup words

lizepiphany: like "dork"

Lindsey986: like she couldn't understand a simple allusion to the immune system?

lizepiphany: alright, let's not drag up make-believe bodily functions....

Lindsey986: i bet she doesn't even know what stat6 is

lizepiphany: hey. she shaves her legs, ok?

Lindsey986: umm ok, because that was relevant

lizepiphany: sweetie, if something is relevant, you don't really have to point it out.

lizepiphany: ok?

lizepiphany: i mean, it just makes you look a little dull and stupid.

Lindsey986: yes i do, or else your daughter might not understand

Lindsey986: yea, i like to pretend to be a little dull and stupid, or i make people like your daughter feel kinda bad.

lizepiphany: i think it's sweet that you copy liz's humour. it's really cute.

Lindsey986: thanks, i try

lizepiphany: alright, dear. i wish you luck with....whatever it is you tell people you do.

lizepiphany: liz has to go to class because people expect her to make something of her life.

lizepiphany: maybe you'll go shopping today.

Lindsey986: right, cause i don't have classes or an organic chemistry exam

Lindsey986: did i tell you that i got 100% on my practice quiz???

lizepiphany: ok, dear, remember what i said about pointing out the obvious?

Lindsey986: did i, did i?

lizepiphany: really, it's a bad plan.

lizepiphany: no freakin way!

Lindsey986: yes freakin way!

lizepiphany: you're a rock star!

lizepiphany: ok, i definitely am late now.
