Sorry, but it had to be said

[ihadtosayit]

I have been a longtime lurker in this community, and I have watched time and time again posters get reamed for not being "cool" or "clever" enough, along with posters who clearly think they are the cleverest people in the world poke fun at their students for not living up to their higher than thou expectations. The saddest thing about all of this

I may regret this, but I'm going to leave this up. February is a month in which we're all a little tired and cranky anyway, so, just as the OP wanted to vent a bit, I'll let the comm vent a little as well.

Having said that, I'll take this opportunity to remind the OP (and any other lurkers) that, as described in the profile, this is sort of equivalent to the teacher's lounge. As in, we're all probably a little more complainy and mocky here than we are in our professional roles. It's a place where a lot of us are able to let off some steam. Anyone who teaches knows you can love teaching but still get frustrated at your students (even the best students).

Anyway. Back to that orgy clique. Who's got the chocolate mousse?

I don't, but I have Bailey's and Kahlua. We can mix/top the mousse with either one.

I have Bailey's and Kahlua.

Me too. And a bit of leftover vodka. Anyone have some cream? I could go for another caucasian, dude.

[enders_shadow]

I'm a Caucasian dude.

colloquial usage?

+1 - This is something that has *always* bothered me.

[max_ambiguity]

You've made that abundantly clear over the past couple of years.

[triphicus]

Haha, burrrrrn.

Only to people who pay attention.

I have cream, vanilla vodka, and enough strawberries for the entire community (I was planning to make jam, but seeing as a back-patting orgy is on the cards ...).

Ooooooooh.

I have some Italian strawberry liqueur stuff with little alpine strawberries floating in it; any use?

Re: Mod comment.

[lizziesilver]

Definitely. Did I mention the vanilla vodka is homemade? It has vanilla beans floating (well, sinking) in it. I think we should combine the two liqueurs, add cream, and shake over ice.

At first glance I thought you were suggesting mixing the two liqueurs and adding ice cream. Which, actually, sounds like a damned fine idea!
