Title: Supid...Papers
Post by: EUOL on November 22, 2004, 03:22:40 PM
No NaNo for me today.  Or, at least, not for a few hours more.  I have to grade rhetorical analysis papers.

20 papers.  One brain.  Ug.

If only you had more than one brain. Or even, perhaps, enough of one to spell "stupid" correctly. Now that's irony.

Also: wasn't it you, EUOL, who asked the students to write these papers?  You ought to take a more liberal approach to education, and just have the students think about writing, or maybe just discuss what they would have written, had they actually done so.

That's one good thing about my school having a really sucky TA program. No papers to grade.

Only 20 papers? I fail to see how this is a huge problem. Sure this takes time, but many English teachers grade many more papers on a regular basis.
You could take the hack teacher approach: just read the first paragrapg and the first sentence of each paragraph, then give an it arbitrary grade.

And I agree with HoM, if you didn't want to grade papers during NaNoWriMo, then you shouldn't have made the papers due during NaNoWriMo.

I stand by my spelling.

Fortunately, the supid papers are done.  And folks, this is the rants section.  You don't slap a brotha' down for complaining about things here!

And no...I could not have gotten away with having NO papers due during November.  Doesn't quite work that way when you don't choose your own curriculum.

Sorry, I guess many of us just DON'T feel your pain.

And can we at least mock you for using the word "brotha'" when you are a very white suburban boy?

I don't know, the mental image of EUOL saying "brotha" may just keep my laughing for the rest of the day.

I don't think I can mock him for providing humor.

Is "supid" a combination of "stupid" and "supine"?

Yo Yo Yo,

Makin' an attempt to step to me,
I go by the signifier of "JP"
A doctor or a man? it's Mad. Dr Jeffe?
Hey, it's time to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Sittin' around playin' with Chemicals and Beakers
it seems as if he's a battle seeker
Quicker, and faster, like no one else can
I shoot some rhymes, wait, end of attention span?

Where was I again? That's right, the battle,
prattle and tattle to all of the cattle
testing your mettle, I ain't gonna settle
I'll see you in court, just like hansel and Grettle

Court of law? That ain't my style
neither a Tennis court, cos I have Guile
I'm talking bout the real court gamers know best,
Impress, caress, I zip up my vest.
and challange you all to a war that's calling your gall
Like the frontalittle squad, i be shootin; Foam rubber,
Nerf war is the way we call one another.

So pull your best rhymes, for rap battle rebuttle
if you have any skill, you'd be needin' a muzzle
or, if you're lame, step down from the field,
But by doing so, I'll assume you yield.

Hey pranksta a limey cant be no gangsta,

So coma coma come get me
your gonna gonna get ate 'G
Im a lova, lova, dont hate me.
now rock to the best MC.

He's Jam for spreading, a Pal regrettin
the day that he messed with me
Oz is a lost cause
spinning it off flaws
With Kylie and her claws,

crusin in my 6-4
blue lights in my back mirror
no body gonna stop me y'all
and if you say it then we gonna brawl
East Coast, West Coast,... better than the Gold Coast.

Spinnin off to the morning on a Saturday night.


So coma coma come get me

You stepped at me, you step at me right
so I return to the fight with rhymes so tight.
Bell goes ding and my fist goes swing
ready for round 2, I'm JamPaladin!

so wid a quickness, get ready for my slickness
I gotcha on my hitlist, and I rhymes with a sick dis
getta load of this: I'm playin' wid yo missus!
At least I play, but youse a playa hata,
the computer calls you traitor, I leave you nothin' but a crater,
I'm not just the Tzar, you can call me the Praetor.


You say I ain't got no gat and I ain't got no bling?
Well say that after bendin' down and kissin' my platnim ring.
I don't need to sing when I'm so shiny I twing
gotta stop steppin' to the once and future king.

Man Im commin' from Down Under? I' m on top of the world.
Hearin' your disses made me wanna hurl
Know something about Oz? We got so much space
we use the room to fill it all with Nuclear Waste
In your face, post haste, your nothin' but a disgrace
Your speakers put out boom, but we've got Bass!

I don't hail from the Gold Coast, my hood is the B
That's Brisbane, playa-hater, I'm downing a V
Caffeine hit, liken it, but you can't be taken it
Too strong for the one whose nothin' but fakin it.

You stepped into my box, now meet my case mod.
true geek cred comes note from Base Bods
but instead comes through mental integrity
rythm creativity and rhymes collectively.
I got a Blue light, Black light, you've got a hack trite
case mod with odd cooling design.

You steped to Jp, and you stepped prepared.
best step again if you hear that <Snare>.
Title: Re: Supid...Papers
Post by: Mad Dr Jeffe on November 24, 2004, 11:16:46 PM
Playa Hata? Caffeine hit, Brisbane, what kinda playa is ya?
Not a gangsta, or a master lister but a sista the kind that wears a dress around at easter.
Trust me my misses won't get busy with no sissy sista.
Only man will please her, bet you haven't been with no one since you moved into your parents Vespa. Hows your momma livin, food stamps and strange men gettin to her?  
Throw anther horse blanket on the mattress.
Gee mom Id really like to have a sandwich.
Course I gots me a sandwich, even a manwich... or a burger or some sushi from japanwich. I don't beat kolas to feel like a man B*!@%^.
Platinum fake like your locks, the rocks on your fist will turn your body off, Green with envy, or bad jewelry?
Heres a dollar, better use it for the lottery, buy a clue don't bother me. Spare me your twisted history you forget I went to University. Was there enough to make Doctor of philosophy, if that degree was measured in fly honeys, love and parties. Still I gots me a Job and a salary, big house and 5 TV''s. I even read when the mood hits me, hows that for perversity. Fool you aint got jack on me.
So render all to Caesar Gonna beat ya, gonna get my goths to eat ya, burn your cites and erase all trace of ya.  Quid pro quo Im like a horde from Asia, so fast not even Christianity will save ya. Gonna sack you gonna attack you, gonna take all of the cred you've yet to prove. Like Doug Macarthur on the move, cept you wont be returnin, no Manilla and Malaysia, just fade awaya playa second prize is given later.  
DDay is arrived and the orders given, dont give up livin %&%*# and you might be forgiven.

Say it, Amigo, you got nothin' all up your drawers

Can't afford to buy stuff, say your not a miser,
Your whole paycheck, goes to beer and pies yeah
Spies yeah, cries there, cos of prying eyes yeah.
Got the ninja spirit, with the neon hardware.

You call me a woman? I call you a Eunich.
Man, you got a pointy head like a drawing of Leunig.
Never heard of him? man, you ain't got no culture,
I'll toast you, tear you, and then I'm gonna mulch you.

What kinda playa decides to have a lay of

Ain't got the money to eat dog treats,

You drive a beamer! Ha in your dreams chump!
Of course my woman beat you up like a sick pup.

And that ninja spirit, get real give me props,
it ain't nothing like Saints ninja monkey chops.

Speaking of chops I'll give ya some later,
heard you almost choked on a stolen baked potata.
Your spies dont work, they dont report right,
I bought them off with a scooby doo night light.

I know all about you how your scared of the dark,
you better be scared I released dingo's in your trailer park.
Now whos squeelin running down the street,
now whos gonna end up tasting like moose meat.

I aint bought a pie in nearly a year
and only drunken Ozzies swill beer.
I drink Cristall by the case, and its free,
I hang at the clubs all over DC.
I am the master of beats, rhythm, rhyme
You ain't got anything on me you slime.
