As the students found their way to the main campfire, they'd seen John lounging against one of the logs, almost look half asleep. Well, as half asleep as someone could look with a smile on their face. He wasn't that gleeful. Really.
"Are we all here?" It looked like everyone was here. He hoped everyone was here. "If someone's not here, they miss out. Bummer for them. Anyway, if you're here, you should know that I'm John Crichton and this is a class on how to annoy those talky people who stand in front of classrooms. You know, teachers."
"Some of you guys might know me," he said, "and some might've heard of me and some might think nothing of me. I have a little experience annoying teachers. I spent a semester getting turned into an animal because of that annoyance. It's a talent really and one I'd like to spread around."
He stopped and sat up a little, looking more awake.
"This class is going to be more practical than anything. Because, really, who wants to listen to me talk? And when I say practical, I mean, you are going to have to go out there and annoy teachers. Whether it be during their office hours or during their class or if you see them out on a hot date. Grades will be given on how often I get punished."
He stopped and grinned. "Another quirk of the class. Because I'm telling you to go out there and annoy teachers, you will have the option of letting them punish me. Really, what're they gonna do, kill me?"
John might've been very, very deluded sometimes.
"First class is easy. We'll do introductions and I want you guys to tell me your favorite annoyance technique. Everyone's gotta have a favorite. And yes, there is homework. It's easy though. For your homework, I want you go find one teacher and call them a name and/or insult them in some way and remember you won't get in trouble. I will. I'll give you some examples."
He wrote a few of the faculty member's names on the board.
"For instances, the dearest vice principal, Hades? Call him a whiny mortal who's compensating for lacking in other departments. GOB Bluth? Call him a Canadian sympathizer. Professor Deadpool? Tell him that costume makes his rear look big. Tell John Winchester he looks like the brother of Richard Simmons if Richard Simmons looked like an ugly bear. And don't limit yourselves to these teachers. This is just the start of annoying teachers so, if it doesn't annoy them right off, don't worry. You have a week. Make it good."
"Also, I'm looking for a TA. If you're interested, see me after class. If not. All right then," John said, "let's get to it."
[OOC: Students will NOT get in trouble for calling or insulting a teacher. Just tell them John sent them and John will take the punishment. The homework can be handwaved, if you'd like, but I'd love to see you guys actually name calling a teacher. This is for fun, for kicks, and I really love and appreciate all the teachers that have said go ahead and annoy them. Have fun with this!]
