Art Terms

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

While subbing for art class one day, students in one of the classes got to asking what the large wood frame with wires and strings standing against one wall was.

Student 1: “What’s this?”

Me: “It’s a loom.”

Student 2: ” I thought that’s what was in a mother’s stomach!”




Later that day, some other students were discussing actresses. One of them announced, “Megan Fox isn’t hot. Well, she’s hot, but she’s a S-L-O-T.”

I wasn’t sure whether to praise his tact, or correct his spelling.

The Joys Of Wal-Mart

Monday, January 25th, 2010

One day in class we were discussing Wal-Mart’s typical clientele, particularly if you visit one in the middle of the night. We had all been in during the wee hours of the morning, and had all seen some pretty unusual folk.

One student, however, said that one of the Wal-Marts in Hagerstown, Maryland was far worse than most others.

“It’s in Maryland, but it’s near Pennsylvania and West Virginia, so it gets weirdos from all three. It’s like a trifecta of trash.”
