Title: Better than Zombies
Post by: EUOL on December 17, 2003, 06:44:59 PM: So, despite my fondness for undead minions, I think I've found something even better: College Freshmen.

Really. They'll do anything I say--all I have to do is offer them a few nebulous 'points.' If it's 'for points' they're willing to go to amazing lengths. For instance, I mentioned that I would give 'points' to students who brought treats for the class on the day of the final. The results--I have a huge left-over back of snacks sitting on my kitchen table.

Yes. This will work out nicely.

Just be careful with that. Make it clear that those things are extra credit and are not required to pass the class. Which I'm sure you did.

Teachers can be accused of encouraging bribes which can be the death of your career. Kind of like a polititian.

Ah, the politics of educations. There is nothing like it.

Post by: 42 on December 17, 2003, 07:21:35 PM: It starts with treats and then gift certificates and then cars and the next thing you know EOUL has turn his class into his personal prostitution ring. EOUL is just a dirty old man. Good thing the jusdge is going to put him behind bars. I can't believe I ever associated with him. You think you know a person and look what they do.

Post by: 42 on December 17, 2003, 07:31:49 PM: I guess so. Just give him a bunch of freshmen and all sense of morality goes out the window.

Post by: Entsuropi on December 17, 2003, 07:43:53 PM: Reminds me of my D&D game on tuesday. GM stands up, and says, "Who wants a free feat?" The fat (23 stone at last count) dwarf player says, "Me!". To which the GM says, "Go to Tescoes and get some food for me."
Player: "Sure."
GM : "Ah, GM influence."

Heh. EUOL should be Evil Undead Over Elf (EUOE), simply for the comedy mental image.

Post by: Lieutenant Kije on December 17, 2003, 07:47:35 PM: how do you pronounce "PEUOE"?

Post by: Entsuropi on December 17, 2003, 07:49:18 PM: Pee-You-Oh!

Post by: EUOL on December 17, 2003, 07:57:27 PM: All right. Someone's goin' to the corner.

Post by: fuzzyoctopus on December 17, 2003, 08:17:06 PM: Did you wear your blue suede jacket to class? If points ever stop working you should say that you'll wear your jacket to class if they do what you want.

Title: Re: Better than Zombies
Post by: Lieutenant Kije on December 17, 2003, 08:38:18 PM: Pee-You-Oh!...hmm...

sounds like a collectible card game of some sort, probably invovling zombies, freshmen, and streetwalkers, and elves.

Can you picture a spiky haired PEUOE on the cover of all the booster packs? We're talkin' franchise, baby!

Post by: stacer on December 17, 2003, 11:58:42 PM: EUOL, you need to talk to my teacher. Humph. College freshman = extra points, grad student = treats to hold us over the supper hour while class goes over 3 hours. We brought treats tonight for our mock Caldecott and the class that normally goes from 3:30 to 6:30 ended up lasting till 9:00. Yeesh.

Post by: Gemm: Rock & Roll Star; Born to Rock on December 18, 2003, 12:12:35 AM: Oh come now, it was only an extra 2:30 hours. Not like it was a total waste of time though. Because I'd be upset if it were then.
