Spaw, they actually LIKE your tripe (hey, the odds were there had to be somebody out there who did...). The day before the class camping trip, you can imagine how hard it was to keep order. I actually thought about trying to hold class for about two seconds. Somebody giggled, then snorted mid-laugh, which set everyone off into giggles and snorts. I took whatever lesson I had planned that day and gave it up to the gods. There was NO way anyone was going to settle down, so I brought up the Juke Joint Thread on the screen and started reading. They actually took a vote (we've been doing a lot of voting lately) to stay in during break and find out if you or Blondie won the race. I'm saving the Regs and the flaming christmas trees for the holidays....

I did a workshop on voting; registered everyone to vote, got all the class computers bookmarked with surfwax.com, and as a practice in voting, we made up ballots with everyone from the Plays class. Best actor, actress, ect. I was telling mISS dAMN cAPSLOCKS about it and she says "Oh, don't forget the gold seals on the envelopes". They all had to present an award and be prepared to give an acceptance speech. Everyone saw those dAMN sEALS on the envelopes and flipped. It was the rEAL tHING. Priceless.

CarolC, we haven't talked a bit about clowns. What did you have in mind?
