Smells Like Team Spirit

Smells Like Team Spirit

As noted on a previous post, there’s just something funny about fans who think they truly are part of a sports team. They use “we” to talk about the team, and sometimes will even talk about strategy on the field they personally need to implement. Better yet are those fans who think their mundane life choices are the difference between a win or loss (i.e. “I only wear black socks on game day!”).

Coaches must get tired of the “we” when winning, because they remember it wasn’t often there when they were losing.

The Importance of Being Batman

The Importance of Being Batman

I always feel this way when someone starts telling me the importance of some video game or movie. Sure, many are culturally significant, but rarely are they as important to the world as they are to the individual. And usually even then they’re not nearly as important to that person as they at first believe.

In other news, that guy playing Batman was pretty awesome.

Introduction to Literary Theory

Introduction to Literary Theory

As with many things in life, a fight between two English nerds begins to sound an awful lot like a Pokemon match after a while. I’m not quite sure why that is, but I guess the glorified game of rock, paper, scissors is part of the charm of the Pokemon franchise.

Also, literary theory taken out of context really sounds silly to argue about.

Interstate Highway System

Interstate Highway System

People behave crazily on the highway. I’m sure this comes as no shock to most people, but driving over the holidays can prove to be a rude awakening to those who have forgotten. I understand nobody wants to be stuck behind someone in the left lane that is riding their brake, but some people seem to be confused and believe they’re in a real-life game of Mario Kart. I keep expecting someone to throw turtle shells from their car window.

Black Friday 3

Black Friday 3

People are always real defensive over horror films until they start seriously talking about them. Then suddenly, with the reality of the countless sequels in their face, they cave. The truth is, as Scream put it, most horror sequels suck. This is no revelation to most of you, yet somehow the countless sequels still prove profitable.

Treat and Trick

Treat and Trick

This comic may seem crueler to our female readers, but remember this is Mr. Mittens. He has no real conscience in the traditional sense. He is remorseless. He is a cat.

By the way, since it is Halloween, I think parents that don’t let their kids indulge themselves in candy this one night a year are a little wonky. Look, don’t let little Cindy or Billy eat chocolate for breakfast every morning of the year, but a little sugar one night a year isn’t likely to make them any slower, dumber, or fatter.

Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street

This is how I often feel with students. I know they’re not entirely listening at any given moment, but what surprises me is that they’re not listening to people other than me. So something like Occupy Wall Street doesn’t even register when I say it because they’ve heard it somewhere else before. At least I don’t personally feel as bad.

Enjoy Your Pizza

Enjoy Your Pizza

There’s always an inclination to return whatever kind words someone says to you. It’s like a game of friendly hot potato. This is especially awkward when dealing with the service industry. Enjoy your dinner? You too! Thanks for coming? You too. I got your septic tank unclogged? You too!

Define Symbolism

by Justin on August 29, 2011 at 12:00 am
Define Symbolism

Defining literary terms is always easier using pop culture examples. THe problem is that sometimes students have trouble focussing on the actual example, and get caught up in the fact that it’s a reference to Harry Potter. On second thought, perhaps it isn’t easier, but I perceive it as so because I’d love any shortcut.

Freshman Fifteen

Freshman Fifteen

Colleges do a lot these days to educate students about health and wellness. Obviously one of the biggest targets for this is the dreaded freshman fifteen. It’s become so dramatized that at times it seems like an invading boogeyman that simply can’t be avoided.
