  • Luck of the Fryrish I believe.

    That or the movie where he loses his lucky pants

    Either way, he declares that his luck is changing right before the ladder he’s climbing into the sewer has a bar break off, sending him plunging into either just the water or onto someone slimy

    Edit: wait, it’s definitely Luck of the Fryrish. They’re heading to Old New York to find Fry’s clover. Same deal, the ladder breaks after he declares no more bad luck









  • Went back to a TN high school recently for the first time since graduating to do some work.

    They had to call local police to check my tool box to make sure it didn’t have a gun hidden anywhere, which took almost an hour.

    Every single door is locked constantly. Every classroom is locked with a key, so anyone needing to get inside needs the knock to be let in and disturb class. If the teacher needs to go to the bathroom between periods, all the students not already in the class are locked outside.

    At one point, I left a door propped open cause I didn’t want to disturb the people running lines. The principal, who used to be my principal at another school, attempted to give yell at me over it.

    They’ve also distributed an iPad to every student to act as a hall pass. Except they have to request the pass, raise their hand, ask to use the bathroom, then the teacher has to pull out their iPad and approve it. All of this takes a ton of time.

    Starting this year, they only get 3 passes a day. Period. Anymore and the principal has to approve it personally or it’s detention. They have nothing in place to make it so kids with intestinal issues can have more passes, and this systems been in place for 3 years now. Every student I talked to told me they knew someone who pissed their pants in class because they weren’t allowed to leave under threat of detention or suspension.

    TN schools and TN in general is just fucked beyond belief now. And the people who put all these ridiculous policies into place are all currently running unopposed.

    The Covenant School shooting and moronic conservative parents having an insane amount of control has straight up regresses TN schools to a worse point of security theatre than post columbine or 9/11. All over a single shooting.

    Edit: apologies for my horrendous grammar. However, I’m currently too tired to fix it right now
