Gah, The calculus test was brutal. It'll be a freaking miracle if I get a D. Luckily, the class is early on in the day. The rest of my stuff is a joke. History? Already know it. Spanish? Fácil. Language Arts? A joke. And last but not least, Art. Basically, this might as well be recess. The teacher just tells us to draw and we do almost whatever we want. Not only that, I share this class with all my friends and Steph. Though she seems a bit late today. Nevertheless, the other three morons were at our table. These guys, Adam, Mike and Dom...oh boy, where to start? These guys are like a bad sitcom. Hilarious in it's own horrible way. When i walked up and grabbed a chair, they were all like "Heyyyy!" This is gonna be crazy...
Mike: "Been a bit, man, what's goin' on?
"Nothing. The gangwars held up something."
Dom: "Ah yeah. Freeze and his snowmen tearing shit up."
Adam: "About damn time Freeze lost. I was freezing my ass off with that damned arctic weather!"
Mike: "I was making spears from sticks and stones ready to hunt some caribou."
Dom: "You gotta be kidding."
Mike: "No shit I'm kidding. I'm not a caveman."
Adam: Really? You got hair like one."
Mike: "Dude, fuck you!"
Adam: "Lighten up, man. We know I'm not one to talk."
Dom: "Yeah, hence the hat. Seriously, how many detentions do you have because you wear it in class?"
Adam: "I lost count. Still, ain't the worst thing I've done this year."
Mike: "No shit. What was that you just blurted out in the middle of study hall? 'I have the weirdest boner'?"
Adam: "Yep!"
Dom: "Seriously, what the fuck? Why'd you say that?'
Adam: "Just to make everyone laugh."
Mike: "I've met 12-year olds more mature than you, y'know that?"
Adam: "Oh, I'm immature? Hey Tim! Take a look at fartknocker's sketchbook here!"
Oh god. This is gonna be stupid. Adam handed off the book to me and I opened it up, ready for virtually anything. What I got was....rather skillful drawings of boners. How charming. let's see, we've got giant monster boners, boners in knight armor, spaceboners...oh lord, is that a boner dressed like superman? I shouldn't be laughing at this. But yet, I am. I kept skimming what I'll now call the Encyclopedia Bonetannica, until a familiar voice made me shut the thing faster than I could blink.
"Hey guys!"
Adam/Mike/Dom: "Hey Steph..."
"What'cha got there, Tim?"
"Just Dom's book. Here ya go man.."
I quickly handed back the book back to Dom. Man, that was WAY too close. Thank god Steph didn't catch me looking at boners. While I gave a sigh of relief, I saw Adam lean in near Steph, and whispered just loud enough that I could hear what he was saying. His eyes met mine a few times as well.
Adam: "Hey babe, why don'tcha leave this nerd behind and go with a REAL man. I'll be behind the school. Eh?"
We all laughed. Me, him, Steph, everyone. Adam usually does this as a joke. He never means it. he's just here to make everyone laugh. Dom and Mike aren't that different. They all get along with Steph just great too, so it makes our lives much easier. Speaking of Dom and Mike...
Mike: "Boys and...uh...girl, i think we should consult the paper I found in my dad's trash bin last night?"
Adam: "You get your stuff outta your pop's trash? That explains alot..."
Mike: "Here's a rusty pen, go fuck yourself with it. Anyway...."
Mike took out a newspaper and flattened it on the table. It was the frontpage from a few days ago. On it "ROBIN AND SPOILER FOIL CITY BANK ROBBERY". Hehe, I remember that. Me and Steph stopping Roadkill's group from draining out the bank.
Mike: "Hell yeah, Robin doing what he does best!"
Adam: "Kicking ass and chewing bubblegum!"
Dom: "Don't know about the bubblegum, but kicking ass? Hell yeah."
Adam: "Dude, how much of a beast do you have to be, to be a kid, and fight with goddamn Batman?"
Mike: "A huge one. Remember when him and Batman took down the Jokerbot on live TV."
Dom:" Dude I saw that! Bad-fucking-ass!. And then there's his girlfriend, Spoiler."
Mike: "Hey, she can roll with Robin, she's gotta be a badass too, right?"
Adam: "She's kinda cute."
I looked up at Steph. She was looking back at me with a smug smile. Hell, I was smiling too. We kept listening to the three raving over our costumed personas. So, our best friends are also our biggest fans? What more could you ask for?
Usually I try to be a good student and pay attention and do my work, but it was Friday, and I just really, really really could not focus on anything that made me feel as stupid as calculus-based physics does.
“You can't teach calculus to a chimpanzee. So just share your banana." -- John Rachel
Poppycock!
For every epsilon banana (ε > 0) there exists a delta banana (δ > 0) such that whenever Ιx - xₒΙ < δ then Ιf(x) - f(xₒ)Ι < ε.
Which is the Limit function, the cornerstone of Calculus. If only John Rachel had considered that two bananas are required, easy-peasy.

Cuthbert wasn't participating in a We're Here outing today, but we were watching a comedian on YouTube talking about conspiracies. I hadn't heard of the "Benadryl Hat Man" conspiracy, but we thought we could create a photo depicting such a sighting.

STROBIST CALCULUS in a little pocket book ....
Hi folks,
have you ever wondered, how to calculate with HSS flash?
How to use gang light?
How to calculate with ND filters?
How to compare continuous light and flash light?
How to adjust an exposure with/without a light meter?
How to calculate with Guide Numbers?
How to benefit from the Inverse Square Law?
>>> Here you go, it is for free: :-)
I made this little pocketbook with RockyNook to say "thank you" to my trusty readers (and to say hi to all the hopefully will-be readers.:-):

I hope, you enjoy and share this little pocketbook.
Cheers,
