To Know or Not To Know

You are in a room with no distractions. The door is locked, the walls are white. There is one chair on which you sit. On the table in front of you is a piece of paper.

The Author

I have some disturbing news to relate. It seems our dear classmate, Jake, is not what he seems. We all believe him to be a 13 year old, innocent, studious, and well behaved young gentleman. But this is just not so!! In reality, he is a very young looking, short, 42 year old spy....code name: The Author!! He has infiltrated our school with a very clever disguise. What I can't figure out is......why??

What is Jake's mission....and how can we stop him?!  

(keep it clean and school appropriate, boys!)

Ayúdame!!

Everyone needs help sometimes.  Write a paragraph about a time you needed help and what happened 

when someone helped you.

Craziest Day Ever

TRUE STORY:  One of the craziest days of my life happened when I was a senior in high school. I was working at the Hollywood Cinema in Appleton, Wisconsin, when my sister ran in and told me that our neighborhood had been evacuated because a train had derailed nearby! She was supposed to tell me which hotel our family was staying at, but she forgot and just left. Keep in mind, I had no cell phone and no way to get in touch with my mom.

After my shift, I had no idea where to go, so I decided to just hang out with my friends. We went to a midnight showing of a movie, and afterwards ended up going to a small airplane hanger off of the Outagamie County Airport. My friend Mark, who was a few years older, worked there as a courier pilot. He took my friend Ben and I up in a four seater plane, did a few zero G's, and even let me man the controls of the plane! We then flew over my house to see if we could find the derailed train. 

I don't remember if we ever actually saw the train....and I never did find out which hotel my family was at (I ended up sleeping over at my friend Angie's house), but I will never forget how incredibly free I felt while we were flying that plane.

Describe one of the craziest days of your life.

Halloween!!

You woke up this morning and realized that it's Halloween and you forgot to pick out a costume. If you don't dress up, Justin Bieber has sworn to make a personal appearance at your house and sing for you all day. Using only the items you currently have in your room, what are you going to be? 

The best costume gets to pick who Justin sings to at the end of the night.

Roadkill Pt. 2

Most of you expressed disgust when the idea of eating roadkill was brought up, but according to PETA, roadkill is a better choice from a health and ethics standpoint. It doesn’t contain antibiotics, hormones, and growth stimulants. It's the more humane option because the animals haven’t suffered through any of the horrors of intensive animal agriculture. In Alaska, people actually get on a waiting list to receive roadkill, and if it's not taken, the police give it to charities. Roadkill is fresh, organic, and free. 

Which is worse; eating pink goo at Mcdonald's, or eating a deer off the side of the road? 

Dinnertime??

Explain your answer.

**I am not advocating that anyone eat roadkill or suggesting that you try it, this is just "food" for thought.**

Roadkill Cafe

This is a true story about a restaurant that was shut down for bringing a deer that had been killed by a car on the road into the kitchen of the restaurant.

Some people have said that the restaurant owners didn't do anything wrong because the deer meat is probably healthier than the meat that is sold in stores. 

What do you think?

Creeeeeeep!!!

This is the creepiest thing I have ever seen. Describe a time you encountered nightmare fuel of this level.

Legion Lemonade Pt 2

Ms. Chetto, who has dedicated her life to the education of young minds, narrowly escaped a diabolical death plot perpetrated by her students this weekend while she tried to enjoy a much-needed break at Green Lake's annual Harvest Fest celebrations. After spending her last cent on supplies for her classroom, she encountered three of her students lying in wait for her behind a stand swarming with bees. "Come buy some lemonade!!" Sneered Austin with an evil glint in his eye. "Yes Ms. Chetto," laughed Jake. "Buy some lemonade from us!" Poor Ms. Chetto is known for her intense fear and fatal reaction to bee stings, and her students were well versed in tormenting her.  "I was stung five times on my birthday this year," said Ms. Chetto sadly. "I'm lucky to have escaped with my life, so I knew returning to the lemonade stand could mean the end of me....but I just had to help my students' cause!" With a tear in her eye, she made her way to the ATM, stopping briefly to check out some awesome jewelry on the way. She was determined to help her students even though it more than likely meant that this day would be her last! But thankfully when she returned, her students had scampered off to plot against some other innocent teacher, and her life was spared. She celebrated by eating some deep fried cheese curds. 

Should she have bought the lemonade anyway? 

Why or why not??

Legion Lemonade

Ms. Chetto went to Harvest Fest this weekend and no cash to buy lemonade from the Legion. This would not normally have been an issue, but she promised several of her students that were working behind the stand she would return and buy a glass from them. When she returned, her students were not there, so she did not buy any lemonade. 

Should she have bought the lemonade anyway?? Why or why not?
