In my transatlantic class (which is about women's lit)
Ashley: It's like, they figure, the book is written by a woman, so they'll be chivalrous and praise it, even if it's crap.
Preston: Is it chivalry, or is it like, you would pay money to watch dogs play soccer, but would you pay money to watch people play soccer?
*absolute chaos. people spend the rest of the class making jokes about dogs playing soccer*
Joe: I put up a professional website. When I start applying for jobs, I'll give them the address. Right now it has a picture of me with a monkey on my head. ...I'll probably change that.
In class today, discussing the Augustinian friars in London in the 13th century:
Professor, reading an article to us: "But the Augustinian Friars and the Lollards soon clashed in a more exciting way:"
Ashley's brain: DANCE-OFF!!
Also: all of us have obviously spent too much time teaching freshman comp.
Jordan: I'm a firm believer that if you feel yourself becoming alcoholic, you should start smoking weed.
*everybody starts laughing*
Jordan: I know what you're going to say: you're just replacing one bad habit with another. But--
Jane: No, I wasn't going to say that, but I like how you anticipated the counterargument.
Jordan: As South Park says--
Julie: Okay, now you're only trying to improve your ethos by citing a credible source!
Nora: *snarfs her wine*
