Thoughts

The Oscar Nominations. Of all the nominated films, I've seen The Incredibles, Shrek 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Spider-Man 2. And that's it. Not enough to judge any of it.

Will Pfeifer on Finals, and the original first page.

Real versions of Calvin and Hobbes' Gory Snowmen.

Ian Spiers is harrassed again, but this time it turns out ok. You might remember Ian as the fellow who inspired the Ballard Locks Photo Workshop after he was harrassed for taking pictures at the Locks.

So a kid in honors math is upset because he has school work over the summer. Fair enough to be upset. But then he sues the district. What a moron. Looks like this kid has no future ahead of him. If he can't handle honors math, maybe he should go back to pre-school and stay there.

And you have to wonder about the guy's dad. "Gee, Pop, I have an awful lot of homework!" "Well, son, maybe we should sue the school district and your teacher! Then you'll be the laughingstock of the nation and never get a good job because everyone will know what a complete lazy bum you are!" "Wow, Pop, that would be swell!"

You know, I might have a little sympathy for the kid if he was in a regular math class... but if you can't handle the heat of honors math, maybe you should just stay out of the kitchen. And a lawsuit? That shows a lack of personal responsibility bordering on the insane. What a pathetic spoiled child. No teacher will ever want to teach the little twerp again. I hope the judge throws the book at him.
