Pamplona in the Sun

About Me: I'm a high school English teacher in Merritt Island, FL. I discovered found through This American Life. I know many of you out there are contemptuous of public radio, but I'm an addict.

This makes me think of that Prince song "Purple Rain" except the rain is yellow and it's lovely.  more»

George C. Wallace, Gov
For others like myself who had no idea who George Wallace was: "George Corley Wallace Jr. (August 25, 1919 – September 13, 1998), was a United States politician who was elected Governor of Alabama as a Democrat for four terms (1963-1967, 1971-1979 and 1983-1987) and ran for U.S. President four times, running as a Democrat in 1964, 1972, and 1976, and as the American Independent Party candidate in 1968.…  more»

Reading Too Much, you're right on about "predisposed". I think Librarian is being facetious.  more»

Dinner Plans
I'm with Kelly that the wings at Hooters are pretty lame. Our local Hooters also has pretty lame waitresses; if I were a straight man or a gay woman, I would feel pretty cheated. Also, what's with the scrunchy tube socks?…  more»

Mona Lisa, good point!

Susan, that seems like a really cool site, but the url got cut off. Didn't somebody recently post a site that makes url's smaller?  more»

For the Love of Guinea Pigs
Seriously, how hard is it to differentiate between "who" and "whom"? If you can figure out the difference between "he" and "him", then you know the difference between the subjective and objective cases (even if you are unaware you know that).  more»

Nah, Let's Ride Bikes!
Darcy, that's one of my favorite jokes! I was about to leave a comment with it myself. Another great joke is this: What do a duck and a bicycle have in common?…  more»

We Jump Hydrolics With Unity
I received a dollar bill that had George Washington saying, "I grew hemp," and had a picture of a pot leaf. I meant to send it in to Found, but I think I accidentally spent it.  more»

Lady Brandy,

Don't forget the cool spiral fluorescent light bulbs; you need to use those, too.  more»

Tarts in the Neighbourhood
Australian,
I'm not exactly sure whether they teach geography any longer here in the States. Last year I asked my ninth graders which country they would rule, if they could rule any country in the world. I received the following questions:
-Is Rome a country?…  more»

Different Dreams
I can't say I agree that everybody can be an artist or that this fellow is already an artist. This is typical, poorly written, teen angst. Inner torment does not an artist make.…  more»

This teacher also loves this find. I feel like I need to print it up and keep it in my wallet for all those times I can't come up with a decent comeback quite quickly enough.…  more»

Grinding Down
Deanna,
Love the reference to A Handmaid's Tale. What an amazing book. In the county where I teach (Brevard County, FL), that is the only book that is officially banned; a teacher can be fired for having it available in her classroom.…  more»

Boo to You
Curious, your comment made me think of The Princess Bride, when Buttercup is having a dream that she's marrying Prince Humperdink and that old hag starts yelling, "Bow, bow to the queen of garbage, etc." It sounds like she's saying, "Boo." I bet Prince Humperdink double-parked his horse all the time.  more»

Heart and Cater
I can't say I'm a major fan of these particular poems, but I do feel that this find might have been saved for April, which is National Poetry Month. April 17 is National Poem in Your Pocket Day (http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/406). On that day keep a favorite poem in your pocket and share it with others around you!…  more»
