A good way to finish off Science presentations.
hahahaha, this is practically word for word how I ended my presentation this morning.

Step 1: Write about people who aren’t white.
Step 2: THERE IS NO STEP TWO.
You will very rarely see me curse, tumblypoos, but…but…I mean, what the fuck? How is this even possible? This reads like an Onion article.
To be clear, it is now ILLEGAL to teach de la Pena’s novel (which I’ve read and which is excellent) in schools, not because the book contains violence or drug use or massively unerotic blow jobs, but because it contains Mexican American characters. (The protagonist of the novel is only half Mexican, but apparently that is too Mexican for Arizona.)
That’s it. That’s the whole reason it can’t be taught in schools.
Unbelievable.
I get to conduct my own research over the summer!!!!!! And see The Hunger Games Tonight!
And I feel exactly like this:
Your life has only just begun.

Pat Prosey hugs her “daughter” C.C. while surrounded by her collection of over 5,000 Cabbage Patch Kids. She and her husband, Joe, keep them in over 6,000 feet of temperature-controlled space at their home in Leonardtown, Md. Watch the Proseys on tonight’s premiere episode of TLC’s “My Crazy Obsession, but first, read our interview:
You hang out with other Cabbage Patch enthusiasts. What’s that scene like?
Pat: If you’re going to be a grown person and carry around a Cabbage Patch Kid, you have to be a likeable person.
Joe: We’ve never met a bad person in Cabbage Patch.
Pat: Not other collectors. Of course, there’s been negativity, if we’re somewhere with Kevin. There will be people who will say, and we’ve had it said before, “My God, look at these people. They’re crazy. Look at all the money they’ve got tied up. Couldn’t they do something better?” Well, maybe I could have. We worked for a living. We have a roof over our head, food in our mouths. My daughter never wanted for anything. I’m not hurting anyone, I’m not doing anything illegal, and I‘m having fun.
Here be the type of folk we have in good ol’ Southern Maryland. Tempted to watch this.

I gathered all of John and Hank’s answers (with their respective questions) from their Reddit AMA on Saturday, January 28, 2012. I didn’t edit any of the text, I just bolded the usernames.
thesoundandthefury is John’s account-both John and Hank posted using it. Sometimes they identify themselves in their answers, sometimes they do not.
I thought this would be a good idea so that people didn’t have to search through the whole thread for John & Hank’s answers. It’s a lot to read, but it’s worth it. There are some very interesting situations!
