Gosh I miss book fairs. I think I became worse when I became a teacher. And discount made it so much harder to refuse.

    My teacher weaponized his discount. In the grade school I was at you stayed with the same teacher for 1-6 grade, and my teacher kept a classroom library. And every year when the book fair came around, every kid that kept their grades at the B line or higher got to bring him one book that he would buy and add to the collection.

    My class ended up makin that man put up two new bookshelves over those six years.

    Book fair at work would be pretty dope. Especially if you work in an office and still use pens or pencils. Now you can get Fortnite themed eraser toppers!

    I think we had to read more than one book for the pizza hut pizza.

    Considering the prevalence of COVID-19 and Norovirus since 2020, and the utter disdain for hand washing and mask wearing…

    I totally believe they believe it’s okay to die of dysentery.

    Sorry, gotta be that guy.

    The mitochondrion IS the powerhouse of the cell.

    The mitochondria ARE the powerhouse (collectively) of the cell.

    In this house, we believe that nouns and verbs should agree. :)

    Sorry again, I had to get that off my chest!

    I never got a pizza for a book because I didn’t like Pizza Hut pizza and read all the time anyway.

    My program offered free weekend rentals from the local video store. Then fuckin blockbuster gobbled up all the locals and said "no, fuck that shit". Luckily I was aged out by then.
