Fisticuffs and Shenanigans 
I didn’t think you were allowed to let students think you were human, with questionable pasts and foibles like mere mortals.
Why is my comment “awaiting moderation”?
I think it’s because I just hadn’t read it, yet. I think we both know that you’d really have to TRY to say something I wouldn’t approve of. 🙂
If they find out I’m actually a space-lizard, it will be even worse. 🙂
Fortunately, the statute of limitations on naughty according to North Pole law is only one year. I suspect you are in the clear. But I also suspect that you have been naughty since “ought-eight.” 🙂 –Curt
Oh, totally, but that one was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Now, I’m just sealing the deal.
Now I am curious. Damn. 🙂
Sadly, I haven’t really done anything to get on the naughty list since before ought-eight.

Should I be asking what you have done in ’08?
Not without signing an NDA first.
That good? Wow… Time to write a tell all. 😀
Gotta pay more than teaching…
… ought-eight was a tough year for all of us…
And still somehow better than 2016…
