Fatty McFatFat

It has come to my attention, that resident Never Finisher fatty McFatFat has been slandering me and my slight overweightness on his blog (see link to right). Well, I, for one, am not going to stoop to his level and engage in some silly. sixth grade insult war. I am not like his beloved Republican politicians who like to engage in smear campaigns and innuendo.

I, for example, will not call anyone and ask, "What would you say if I told you that Mr. McFatFat once ate an entire box of Ring Dings and then, still starving, chowed down on the wrappers as well?"

Nor will I, for example, send out a mass email to the entire student body stating that "Mr. McFatFat is out sick today. You may feel free to not lock up your lunches."

And, obviously, I would certainly not tell my classes that they should all say an additional prayer for Fatty during Morning Prayer. A special Hali Mary for his Dickie-Do.

Nor would I answer them when they asked me "What's a Dickie-Do?" I would certainly never tell them that it means Fatty McFatFat's gut sticks out more than his dicke do.

I, for one, will take the high road. Let FMFF take the low road.

He has to. It has the higher weight limit.

And I thought the kids were dumb...

OK, so I've been away a while and no, I don't know if I can or will come back to doing this more often (two jobs, The Wife, Stinky, and The Bean keep me hopping). But this was too good to pass up...

When I was doing this on a regular basis (and Harwell was commenting daily), I set Blogger up to email me if anyone left a comment. Which means I've been beseiged by Harwellian ramblings and the ocassional e-ad for mental health meds (no comments from the peanut gallery). So today, when I checked my email, I wasn't that surprised to see a comment notification. What did shock me, was the sender.

The Ohio Graduation Test.

Yes, I know, I know... it wasn't really the Ohio Graduation Test (and yes, there is a reason I keep spelling it out). It probably wasn't even anyone officially connected to the Ohio Graduation Test. What it was, most likely, was the person who runs the blog it came from, trying to get people to learn about the Ohio Graduation Test, whose search engine / software found my blog entry concerning the Ohio Graduation Test, probably hitting on the very words "Ohio Graduation Test".

You know the one. In my Five Stupidest Students List. The one about the kid who wrote his essay on beer runs and his Homer Simpsonian love of lesbians.

And so, the OGT blog found it. And commented on it...

"Great post. You mention the OGT test on this blog posting, so we placed a link on our Ohio Graduation test Blog. It is viewable at this post about the Ohio Graduation Test. We are looking for any comments or opinions on the OGT - including the best way to study for the OGT test"


And LINKED to it.

Am the only one who finds the idea of some parent, looking for ways to help their kids, and utilizing this trusted source of information (because we all know Blogger is the place for Ohio Graduation Test 411), and stumbling upon "mmm.... beer" and "even chick dig chicks" incredibly amusing?

And if I am... I don't care. It's my blog.
