Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 03, 2012

I guess she IS a little young to know about teacher’s unions.

After yesterdays strp, now I have the same weird feeling.

If you didn’t have those three to four weeks making construction paper Santas you’d all be out on the streets being juvenile delinquents! So there.

I see.

I knew there was a reason why we make paper chain links counting down to Christmas in November.

News item – 300 more school hours added to 5 states to boost global student ratings. (and add union employees to fill time) .Haven’t they ever heard of Tokyo Cram Schools or tutors?.Parents pay to repair damage done to kid by inferior public education, grades shoot up, tests aced, and teen suicide rate skyrockets..

(singing)Oh, we’re goin off to college,To gain a lot of knowledge,That we’ll never, ever, ever use again.

p.s. PGlum: Short term memory goes to sleep. Data still misfiled in long term’s storage.

I don’t remember any slack time between Thanksgiving and christmas…

Those wacky North Koreans have found a unicorn lair!

Just heard they discovered a “Unicorn Lair” in North Korea.

“Unicorn” is a lousy translation of “Kirin”. And what they actually seem to have done is rediscover an old cave that used to be known as “The Kirin’s Lair”. Same Kirin, by the way, that the Japanese beer is named after.
