This is the only day we will see the mannequin in shoes, class will be led by mannequins-in-training in a circle outside, and the final exam will be a pizza party hosted at the mannequin's yurt.
ReplyDeleteI like Frankie Bow, but I'm not cool enough and hip enough to understand this post. I hope someone explains it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a "cool" teacher mannequin. The pose. The tossed textbook. "Call me Jimmy." That sort of thing. I admire the blank expression.
Delete"...and the final exam will be a pizza party hosted at the mannequin's yurt"
ReplyDeleteBut the mid-term will be a rigorous twitter essay.
Thanks, Fab. I was looking for some deeper meaning or an allusion to a scene in a popular movie. I feel silly.
ReplyDeleteThat may very well be. Robin William's tearing-pages-out-of-a-text came to my mind right away.
DeleteI had a professor who sat cross legged on his desk and played guitar in nightclubs. His name was Dr. Something, but he was always, "Call me, Frankie. I'm not like your parents friends, man."
At the time I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Now I think Frankie just didn't have enough friends his own age!
"You can't learn about shoes from some dusty old textbbook. Throw it away! Now let's REALLY learn some $h!t about shoes!"
ReplyDeleteHilarious.! I genuinely laughed out loud.
ReplyDeleteI'm teaching a big lecture for the first time in my life. I've been at this 12 years now and I've never had more than 49 in a class. I've got 80 this semester. It's making me really feel my uncoolness for the first time in decades. So what's the secret formula, corduroy blazer and jeans with holes in the knees? I just watched Starting With Safety for the trillionth time in my life and I don't think I'm allowed ripped jeans, but maybe I can wear the blazer over a Twilight t-shirt.
I'm sure the mannequin gets very good student evaluations.
ReplyDeleteBut I fear the lack of a beard may be hurting his coolness quotient somewhat. I'm also not sure that anybody (at least anybody cool) wears a blue blazer anymore. But the brown shoes are on trend.
Agreed. He also needs a trilby.
DeleteA Kangol!
