Silliness from Daan's high school students…
These are responses to the following History of Drama test question:
A: Bards and Troubadours were story tellers and had to be trained in how to attack the audience.
A: Troubadors were medieval poets or musicians. Bards were Celtic poets or menstruals. (minstrels)
It's tough to be a teenager. I'm sure the pro's will agree, 'audience attack' skills are vital to any performer wishing to make a living…..
Also, I get the following daily, on the aotc Yahoo!Group, and given my ordinary bulletin board behavior, thought I should capture today's in particular…

So now, I can "de-tapinage" rather than "de-lurk". Ever so much classier. Though I've verbified a noun…whaddya suppose the verb is… "tapin"? "de-tapin"? I want a conjugation!
Girl, do you eat and/or sleep? Geeze-o-pete, woman! Hope you have a good day at Gatalop. I can’t go anywhere with Dead Van. 🙁 (details on LJ).
If you and your beloved have not watched “The Impotence of Proofreading” you must go and do this now. (OK, when you get home) Remove all breakables AND FOOD & DRINK from your presence.
Also watch his “what do teachers do;” it’s equally good.
