Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Tim, what are the hours you work like there?  In my Canadian high school in China, I've got Mon - Fri, 8:25 - 3:35.  However, each day there are only around 210 minutes of classroom teaching.

Incidentally, is the length of the Korean school day also insane?  Here the day begins around 7:00 AM and often ends around 6:30 PM or later, with several hours of supervised evening study time later in the night.  As well, students always go to school on Saturdays, and also sometimes on Sundays if they have had a test during the week (in order to "make up for lost time"). 

Fortunately, we Canadian teachers only work according to normal Canadian high school teaching hours.

Did I mention that I absolutely hate school?

No, but you've expressed your contempt for teachers before.   ;)

I'd be honoured to accept your request, Caliga, but you've never deigned to send one.
Fine, I'll go ahead and send you one.  Didn't know you had an FB account, but I do know your real name. :)

School = prison  :mad:

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I was doing Gods work :angry:

Robbing banks is gods work?

Well, let's just say pretty much the only criminals that are good guys in the movies are bank and casino robbers... that and some con men. I guess the old proverb applies to all of them "Thieving from a thief gets 100 years of forgiveness" ("quien roba a un ladrón tiene 100 años de perdón")
