Dutch shoes are not on there.
I think the closest would most likely be the spanish or italian one...

[Tragic_Comedian]

So, tomorrow's celebrity day at my school...

Any ideas on who I could be?

is there anyone you kinda sorta look like?

If not, your choices are Charlie Chaplain or Charlie Brown as a ghost

Charlie Chaplain might not be a bad idea.

Why are you quitting your job?

Sorry about the delay. School all day, you know...

Anyway, answering this question, it was kind of... a lot of circumstances that gathered in a really short time.

I talked to my boss about two weeks ago and told her I needed to work less hours, because I wasn't paying enough attention at school due to the work. I wasn't making my homework or studying at all, and I told her so. She told me it was ok, and I'd only work on weekends. So it was ok at that time. Then, last Monday or so she told me that her boss had made some arrangements, and she'd become the manager in other store, and the new manager would bring someone from his own staff, so they didn't need me anymore, particularly since I was going to work a lot less now.

So, I got what I wanted (kinda), and the store got what it needed, or so I hope. So that's how things are now.

I'm only waiting to know when I'm going to be payed.

Right. In lieu of Cat-Muffin week month, I'm making a new holiday:

Shas'aia Week!

In which we Shasinate our avvies, signatures, etc. . .

All who agree, say "Aye".

*Crickets chirping*

Right. . . I'll just leave. . .

That would actually be an intresting idea; have a week in which we apply peoples traits to our avatars. Though after going through Catmuffin, Then Shas week, Then Magtok week our half metal, villanous, Flying, Dual-wielding Catmuffins wouldn't be so unique.

[Quincunx]

Alright.
Enough of my DSM.
And to steer the topic away from the most hated of musicals.

Need quote for yearbook.
At this point, I'm stuck between John Donne, Andrew Marvell, Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman, and Francis Bacon.

Specifically?
I got nothin'.

It'd be better to attune your ears for a week to the banter in the hallways and record something that'll remind you later of school, not of some dusty dude who never seemed to show up for classes.

[Tempest Fennac]

That sounds awkward, RS. (Good luck on getting paid soon.) My acne has been a lot better since I started at university. Judging by how it also improved during a holiday a couple of months back, I'm guessing that the hard water in Lincolnshire wasn't helping it for some reason.

That would do.

"See you ad here."

I used to be quite athletically inclined. I represented North Tyneside in the under 13 400m. Kept up athletics for until some time in year 10, when I got really into chess, and all forms of physical exercise just kind of dropped out of my life. Apart from walking.

Lol at youthful Geordie lemming emulation. I presume you were drawn into it by the spurious glamour of the annual Great North Idiot Herding (unfortunately we no longer drive the sweaty, Deep Heat-stinking livestock over the cliffs at Marsden)

Congratulations on your eventual discovery of the joys of inertia. You simply can't beat the rush you get from remaining stationary while idiots lumber themselves into an early grave. Rain, wind or shine you'll find me trying to beat my personal best for TSNR (time spent not running).

Dutch shoes are not on there.

That's coz Dutch shoes use carpentry measurements, rather than cobblers'.

Charlie Chaplain might not be a bad idea.

Yes! Go as the famous slug-balancer. It's that, or you must go as Gorgeous Georgina, the Forces' Sweetheart ("Meeeeeeeh!")

I know we shouldn't comment on the spambots, and instead just report them. But...
*double-take*
...it appears to be Christmas.

originally i thought a newb was committing threadomancy, then i viewed it's mesages...

does anyone know if a spambot has passed the turning test yet?

and how would we know if it had?

Not really. It was more just, I run really fast, my PE teacher gets me to represent the school, moving up to larger areas through a couple more contests at Gateshead Stadium I keep coming second to the other guy from my school, we represent North Tyneside and come 6th and 7th. And he beat me by a second in every race
Great North Run is too long for me, and also requires effort for the applyings and whatnot.

This is the point where eI admit that I don't know what the turning test is.

[bosssmiley]

This is the point where I'lI admit that I don't know what the turning test is.

Thereby also revealing the shameful truth that you know not Google.

Turing Test

ION: squid-tables. Do want.

[randman22222]

Ugh. We've just started basketball in PE. It's disgusting, I don't like it.
And I'm 6' 4"... I can nearly dunk a ball... But I still hate basketball.

Everyone's telling me I should try out for the team. Despite having just seen me epically fail at it. So I just smile and nod, and say nothing. While my thoughts are... negative, to say the least.

Now volleyball was pretty fun, but doing it on the school's team doesn't appeal to me. If we had a sailing team, I'd be on. Or an archery team. But that won't happen for a thousand years, if then.

And I wasn't even on SMEE's conversion chart. My feet are too darned big.

Turing Tests....*shiver*

I had enough of those at university! I was happier not knowing about them...now they haunt my sleep.

Why, did you fail the Turing Test?

[banjo1985]

No actually, they were just a big part of a Simulation module I took in final year. We had to make sure our model type thing worked the same as the thing we were modelling would in real life.

Safe to say, it never really worked for me!

Athletics is the bane of every schoolchild's life. Very, very few children actually enjoy athletics.
And noone likes the 100m sprint or the 1500m. We'd just walk the 1500m. Or just jog it very slowly.
As you can see, my friends were highly unmotivated in the sporting arena too when it comes to the drudgery of athletics.

E Lang Girl Lecturer's away again. Still had to work on the commentary I finished exactly one week ago and handed in.

[SDF]

I always screwed around in gym. Despite being awful at things like football I was one of the best at hockey. (I lived in MN before moving to Idaho... in my town of ~8000 we had 7 hockey rinks. Here we have 2, and only 1 you can go to skate on. Here is a city of 200,000+) When we did the mile run I ended up racing my friends as fast as we could backwards around the track... I ran distance track and played midi in lacrosse. My high school was a big sports school, we won state in football and lacrosse my senior year.

[Cristo Meyers]

I hated athletics all throughout high school, went out of my way to avoid P.E. classes in college. I was never athletically inclined nor did I have any desire to be so.

Which, of course, in a school that pretty much centered all life around football, meant I was even more of an outsider.

[Tempest Fennac]

I hated PE as well (it became even more pointless when we started our GCSEs, so I never did anything). I was never very good at it, and we never did anything that was particularly relevant to real life. (I don't like any sports at all.)

[SDF]

I enjoyed gym sometimes. I am in adequate shape, I'm not ripped or anything I have a medium frame and am pretty tall, though. I prefer to do things like hiking, and rafting to football. My uni has an amazing football team, but I've never even bothered to go to a game in my 3ish years here. I even get tickets for free. >_>

[Cristo Meyers]

I'm not in bad shape, once I get my book finished I'll start working out again. As for PE, if we'd actually done something moderately interesting I might have enjoyed it more. It was basically basketball, football, or...well...yeah, that was about it.

But then again my idea of moderately interesting is swordfighting (as in two handed long swords, not fencing), so I can understand why they probably wouldn't want to do something like that. I wouldn't trust some of the people I went to high school with with a foam padded waster...

Truth. But at least sports gives the thick, or otherwise unhandy, kids something they can excel at:

"Maybe you can't explain glacial moraine formation, or paint a watercolour, or weld a circuit, or light a stage; but at least you can hoof a ball into a net. There's some small pride to be had in that, I suppose."

Eggy liked rugger, javelin and shot putt (slightly sublimated warfare).
All other school sports sucked.

[Dallas-Dakota]

DD likes adrenaline pumping and dangerous sports.



Yeah, most notable sports that schools will never ever do.

[Lyesmith]

I don't mind PE, per se.
I'm just a workshy little git.

Also, I'd rather do swimming. I kick ass at swimming.

[Oregano]

Then you have. really. really. really big feet.......

Think I'm totally wrong then, but I remember some form of shoe size uses ridicolously high numbers. I assumed it was European.
