attn: greg and toby: MR KOBASA FIRED

[azal]

I'm imagining the guy looking like a fat version of the dude from Renegade.

 

[lizard]

as a kid of the military, I grew up in a total immersion in guns, mechanized assault vehicles, and the ever-present threat of impending death. and I'm about as anti-Bush as you can be. go figure.

 

[lizard]

and now...Mr. Kobasa is a parallel with the immortal Leonard Skinner.

i really don't understand where the vitriol in this thread came from

Sam it's probably due to the Spoonion song "Mr. Kobasa (fucking asshole)"

i wasn't allowed to watch the rambo cartoon and g.i. joe wasn't forbidden but definitely discouraged. but i did have a few toy guns, or at least one cap gun from pirates of the caribbean.

there was a rambo cartoon??

 

[minxnim]

did i mention that i like guns but i think war is retarded?

 

[NAD]

there was a rambo cartoon??

yeah, it was back in like 1986 i think. whoa, i was right: http://imdb.com/title/tt0222619/

momz didn't let me watch it because the violence was too realistic, she never had a problem with robot violence, which was good because without transformers i would've never made it past 8 years old.

hmm, I had an open minded english teacher that left this year for similar reasons, and has cofounded a publishing house. Wonder what Kobasa will be up to, sounds like a "real" teacher.

actually azal dude is super skinny and has a beaky nose.

i think he's been ousted from jobs before, so he probably has a plan.

 

[azal]

I really want to see that Rambo cartoon now.

haha on Friday I announced to my classes that they were having a SPECIAL GUEST in class that day (it was the guidance counselor, talking about...guidance stuff, I guess).

Upon announcing it, in three of my four classes, at least one student shouted excitedly, "Is it Mr. Kobasa??"

They were pretty disappointed when the boring ol' guidance counselor walked in. She couldn't understand why.

 

[chupe666]

call me an asshole too, but i completely agree with his reasoning for not putting up a flag, and find it sad that a supposedly similarly faith-based school would not back him up on that. i mean, even the pledge he was accused of not supporting has the phrase "one nation UNDER God", not over.
