Sheer brilliance, all of you.  I feel so - so - so boring.  Must try #24!

[nemesis]

90. Arrive in class covered in blood. Start by muttering something about "....that damn plagiarist."

91. Show excerpts from South Park.

What a hoot!
I'm LMAO

Love 81 and 82 - that would be something I'd do just b/c it would be hilarious.

92. Bring in a monkey. Give it a multiple choice quiz. Grade the monkey's scantron. Calmly state, "Anyone who gets a lower score than the monkey automatically fails the course."

[msparticularity]

93. Another real one: Have your identical twin, the mathematician, teach your English class. He should begin by saying, "You know, I'm tired of all this English, so for the rest of the semester we're going to study something real - math." He then continues teaching math until much later in the class session, when you join him.

91. Show excerpts from South Park.

I have a colleague who does this. Really.

#92 is very similar to something that a colleague once told a class:
"Monkeys with pencils could have done better than you on this exam."

Ouch!

94. Expound upon your personal conspiracy theory about the connection between Adolf Hitler, Lee Iaccoca, and Ford Pinto cars. Be sure to do this at least twice a week.

(Also real -- from a couple semesters of an undergraduate language course.)

Gulp.  I do this when appropriate.  (I know, I know, field specificity.  I also show clips from the Muppet Show, the Simpsons, Looney Tunes, etc.)


I think if you added some Garlic & Onion Powder to Verbena's Oregano then you could be on your way to a good pizza sauce.
