Kev,
I have to say that I truly admire your writing style. Any man that can use a dick and fart joke one second and then wax eloquently the next gets a huge A+ in my book.
I also have to stop reading your Arena articles while I'm in homeroom. I'm sitting at my computer, laughing like crazy, and my freshmen want to know what is so funny. I can't read it to them, mainly because I'd get way too many parent phone calls the next day, but I wish I could.
Several of my students know that I am a huge Kevin Smith fan, and they asked me about JSBSB. I was honest and told them that I loved the movie. I laughed from start to finish, and couldn't wait to watch it again. Several of my sophomore students went out and rented several "askewniverse" movies that weekend, and came back on Monday, pumped about what they watched.
Okay, so I'm sure that offends some of you out there. Here's a high school teacher recommending a movie she liked - a movie that contains drug references and sex jokes. My answer is lighten up. I told them what I liked as a person. If their parents let them rent it and watch it, don't push the blame on me. I'm not their parent. It isn't my job to be the moral guardian.
I could go on and on about teachers and how they get blamed for the ills of society, but this isn't the place for it. I just wanted to let Kev know how much I enjoy what he does, and I'm spreading the word in my own small way.
BTW Kev, if you are looking for a less intrusive way to lose weight, it's out there. You don't need to turn to the drug copmanies that want to sell you something that makes oil leak out your ass. There's a much better way. Check out the link below.
