Thanks.




Mighty white of you.

Mortimer 08-12-2007 09:26 PM

Oh I'm sorry I said that...you can bother me anytime you want.

Mortimer 08-12-2007 09:51 PM

Why do your students like you? Are you a serious teacher who really wants to help mold them and make them see better?

Or is because everyone gets an A?

Mortimer 08-12-2007 09:52 PM

I do want it understood,though, that I don't want the nimrod Dimmy to bother me.

Because I like what I teach.
I get overly excited and make a fool of myself.
And I have this strange belief that everyone really has a natural interest in the way the world works. It just has to be brought out. So I like doing demonstrations and labs and asking lots of what if questions.

If the teacher asks a what if I now do this, after doing a demonstration, (changes the demo a bit) and the kids can predict what should happen, and indeed it does happen, one knows their model of the way the world works is decent. So I do another what if. And it gets quite fun when the what ifs involve experiments that are counterintuitive. Then they see what you see (only better sometimes which is most exciting) and everyone gets very happy.

So I have fun. I like my job.

The only way I feel like I a molding anybody, is just bringing out the natural curiosity that already exists. I dont try and mold. I just like kids to ask questions about why things are the way they are. Not just simply look at some physical event, and not ask why.

Hey ..that's pretty good!


Molding was a bad term to use on my part.





I should have taken physics,but I didn't.I read the book Earth,Universe and Atom ( like a physics books for idiots) and like it very much.


It's good liking your job and being a good teacher.Too many don't...I think.

Gosh Sighty-poo....you're actually quite attractive.




Diaper isn't as dumb as I thought he was.

Good morning sporty fans.

I was saddend to see the announced retirement of WoodyWilko....one of my all time favs.At least he goes out standing up.


I am also saddened to see more incredibly dim witted posts from Dimmy.That guy needs a ghost post writer.




And who is standing to the left of Sighty-poo?

Morty, did I meet you at Sarah's toga yesterday? If not, when will I?

Ah don't thank so.

I am in disguise and have not met anyone here to date.



I'm pretty doggoned attractive and don't want jealous males attacking me because their females are attacking me.

Why do you think you met me?



Is Hossy trying to pretend he is me again?

Oh you.....g'wan.






The truth is when wearing round sunglasses I am laughed at as people always say I look like the dead guy from Weekend At Bernies.








But the intelligent ones say I look like George Clooney.

Mortimer 08-13-2007 10:04 AM

Holy marshmellow Dispencer!


Your myspace is hideous!





I don't understand those things in the first place......but are you nuts....or what?

For your own safety as well as those around you, I must vote to keep you quarantined here in the sandbox.

How is the voting going so far?

Well I don't know what the count wound up being,but whatever it was Stevie is not too impressed.

Next time would you mind not stepping on my castle?

Mortimer 08-13-2007 11:09 AM

Next time bring your own pail and shovel ...if you don't mind.

!OOOOOOOOOO!




Good to see you ,sir.

Oh I can't complain....making more new enemies everyday.




I hope you are well.

I don't know if I will see a funnier exchange than you and Bogs had a few weeks ago.I laughed very hard...and you know I mean that in a good way.It was a classic....ya friggin' ****** ....ya.

Really?

Gosh...I like you both...how could he ,then, not like you?



Tell Stevie my password hasn't changed...he can sign on here as me again and send me an pm so we can straighten his sorry behind out....if CarlaHO has not failed to do so.



I think I'm done there Hossy.

No one there reacts anymore when I call them names.

I just can't live like that.
