Mr. Rau, my everything teacher in High School. We went to a small school and he was also my neighbour, so I knew him really well. He taught me English, French and Math. He was just so comical. He would sleep in English. In French he would sing and play his guitar. He made up his own songs about French verbs. In French, he demonstrated masculine and feminine by saying in a falsetto: "la fenetre" and opening the window, then in a deep voice "le mur" and walked into the wall. The point was feminine things were dainty and you could interact with them easier than masculine things. He speaks about 5 languages fluently. He had the best stories about touring Europe and North Africa when he was young--actually, all his stories were hilarious. He could arm wrestle the high school boys and win, walk on his hands and do the flag off the doorframe. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Tweedie, my History teacher for my last 3 years of secondary school. Only 5'3", but fierce enough to keep any class in order. She didn't teach me mere facts. She taught me how to study, and then get what I had learnt down in a coherent form on paper. How to construct an argument so that you will convince your reader. (And thus how to demolish an opponents case.) This made me a complete pain in the behind to my other teachers as I practised showing up the fallacies in whatever they were teaching, But it won me several debating prizes in my last year, and a rapt audience whenever I got up to speak. 2 hours ago, haldir said: February 27th Question of the Day Furry, scaley or feathery friends - Show us a picture of your family member.

I've missed work twice due to weather, snow and ice (though I wouldn't really say I missed it...). Friday my car was completely encased in ice from the freezing rain, roads too dangerous to attempt heading anywhere.

Not sure why he was my favorite, but I remember his name so that must mean something. 9 hours ago, haldir said: February 27th Question of the Day Furry, scaley or feathery friends - Show us a picture of your family member.

You all have seen Molly before, so here's a pic of Dixie, our elder Labrador who came to live with us when a breeder decided not to breed her (she is super sweet and loves being an indoor house companion): And one of her with Molly: 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator TaleSpinner Posted February 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hello GTKY peeps, We currently do not have a quisitor lined up for the month of March or May. If any of you would like to become a quisitor and take a month, please PM me, and I will get you added to the quisitor PM. Also, I am sorry that I have been absent here of late (hence this message coming at the last minute) and will continue to be so through the spring as I have limited time for forum posting due to my Bones 6 sculpting workload. Thanks, Andy 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 To possible new folks, this does take a couple extra minutes each day, but is really quite simple. Make up a list of questions on ANY topic in advance then just add to the list as you think of things. Have your family and friends help you think of the questions. Go get a burger with the idea of getting their ideas. It is fun for everyone. Plus if you run late or need help we have it available. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
