Good Times !
CATCH AND RELEASE PROGRAM
The Irritable Texan decided to beat the heat on Friday and set up a fish pond in the boys' gym, using magnets on the end of some poles to scoop up paper fish enhanced with snazzy colored paperclips. Seemed like a great idea in theory, but the terrible reality of special education set in and as usual, chaos reigned.
First, Janey swang her rod at Lawdy, attempting to knock all of the fish off his pole. Unfortunately, Francesca was reclining next to Lawdy to catch up on her beauty sleep and ended up taking a magnet to the right eye. Within five minutes of each other, Triple-A and Lucifer both swung their poles at staff members, resulting in their magnets hooking the wire-framed spectacles of TIT and Marv right off of their faces. Chris ate several of the paper fish (and possibly some of the paperclips as well), G smacked Jai's leg with his pole a few times, and Lucifer's wiener peeked shyly out at me from the leg of his gym shorts until Lawdy spotted it and dragged Lucifer off by his leg to the locker room. Good times !
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE HAS A DENT IN IT
The Lion King- who doesn't love that story ? It's even better when performed by our drama kids, with unintelligible dialogue and furry costumes made out of shag carpeting. Other improvements over the original: Scar wore a black Raggedy Anne wig that made him look as if he was about to shout "I'm Rick James, bitch !" and Devilin slogged across the Sahara wearing plaid flannel over his hyena costume for some unexplained reason.
G was suspiciously well-behaved at first, but eventually redeemed himself by letting out a Jurassic bellow during "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and then blew some spit bubbles on Ivana for good measure. MGF made the event even more memorable for me by inserting rude lyrics into the songs whenever he could, most of them having to do with the hotness of Moonbeam's boyfriend and her continuing frustration at never having made it as an actor. When it was all over, the kids were rewarded with much applause and another eardrum-rupturing screech from G. Even better times !
IT JUST FIGURES, DOESN'T IT ?
Being the sensitive New Age guy that he is, LoB took Friday off to pace around Kaiser while his wife had knee surgery. His sub, yet another actor, spent the entire morning yapping with Moonbeam about some audition he was hoping to get. Zahara listened for a while with a disgruntled expression on her face, much like the one I usually have on my own face when actors start talking, then burst into tears and wailed "Come back, LoB ! You go away !" Marv and I cruelly pointed out to Zahara that after three months of being told to go away, LoB had finally gotten the hint and done just that, which earned us dirty looks for the rest of the morning but did at least stop her tears. Not-so-good times for Zahara...
IT WAS JUST LIKE THE SULFURIC PIT OF THAT HELL SHE TALKS ABOUT AND PUTS US THROUGH DAILY
Lez popped her Rubbermaid container into our microwave, then wandered off with her i-Pod to show a coworker some pictures of her kids. I eventually noticed the smell of burning chicken and was immediately reminded of the cafeteria's infamous Wings Of Fire, and also of the cafeteria's recent run of bad luck with flaming bagels and faulty wiring. I decided that it might be time to cancel my lunch order, and stood up to do so just as the microwave erupted into a cloud of foul smoke remarkably like the one that usually surrounds Marv The Smoker.
Eyes teared, throats burned, and everyone took off through the door at warp speed, nearly trampling Lez to death as she returned to claim her Chicken Ashatori. Turns out that Lez had accidently entered 30.00 minutes rather than 3.00, a mistake any of us could make. I became ill from inhaling plastic fumes, but not so ill that I couldn't stop and snap a cellphone pick of the offending lump while Lez apologized profusely and tried not to cry. Definately NOT good times for Lez, nor for my smouldering lung tissue.
Have a great weekend- hope it's full of good times !
