    Glee is an absolutely fantastic show

    This is awesome...

    And on the fifth day of spring the sun came out over western Washington, so Bellingham Christian School rested.

    The private nondenominational Christian elementary school on Wednesday canceled classes for a “sun day,” which can be a rarity at this time of year in the gray, soggy Pacific Northwest.

    "Good morning students, parents and staff. Yes, It's a Sun Day! Wahooo. That's right, school is CANCELLED today due to good weather! Enjoy!" Principal Bob Sampson wrote on a page on the school's Web site. The page also features a picture of him in a T-shirt and shorts giving a thumbs-up from the seat of his year-old Suzuki 450 motorcycle.

    Sampson said the school, which serves 183 children from preschool through eighth grade, didn't use up any snow days this year due to an unusually warm winter so it could afford to give teachers and students a break due to sun.

    "In Washington we often have soggy winters and spring. We all love the sun up here. Sometimes we cancel school due to snow. So one day I thought, if we don’t have any snow days why not do that for good weather?" Sampson told msnbc.com by telephone from the school, where he was helping mind the five kids whose parents apparently didn't get the spontaneous day-off message in time, or who needed day care.

    Sampson said parents were surveyed and they thought it was a great idea.

    Lindsay Tkacsik, who works as an officer manager at the school and has fourth- and sixth-grade daughters enrolled there, was among the enthusiastic approvers.

    "Our kids and staff work so hard all year round. Snow days sometimes are a challenge to accommodate, but kids always enjoy them anyway. When we don’t have one in the winter sometimes it can be a fun treat to do this instead," she told msnbc.com.

    Tkacsik's plan for the unexpected day off: Pack a picnic and take the girls to the Greater Vancouver Zoo in British Columbia.

    Sampson said Bellingham Christian has done this once before, a few years ago. He announced this year's closure Wednesday morning, when he saw that the forecast met the school board's requirements for such a cancelation — clear skies and at least 63 degrees. He sent e-mails to parents Tuesday night to give them a heads-up on what was likely to happen.

    "It's been great in creating a positive climate. The kids look forward to it as well as the teachers, and we still have required number of hours we need for accreditation," Sampson said.

    "There are so many negative things out there in the world. I think it's important to work hard but also to let kids know that kids can have fun and adults can have fun. It's just a positive thing."

    A wonderful idea.

    ~

    Except ... "There are so many negative things out there in the world." ...

    Why did that need to be said? Does he really think that? I realise it's likely just a throwaway comment but it struck me as very odd.

    Ok, I didn't know Glee so I looked for it on youtube. I am now making arrangements to inflict pain on you all. Except for LoR, because he has style, class, taste and already a date with brake failure.
    I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
    I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
    Which is what I am

    Silly lolli - expecting you to watch a program because you like it.

    Hm. I take it Glee is something that the GF watches and you sit nearby with an expression of superior disdain on your face then?

    Don't blame me! I've already made my feelings known on the program. I initially only spoke about the Journey song.

    We both think it's shit, she watches all the other shit on TV though (eg. Hollyoaks, Eastenders, Cock Wank (Gok Wan), 10 years younger). I don't have a chance of watching what i want on TV until around 10pm. Even then i get moaned at because while she sleeps i'm watch things like Mock the Week and laughing to loud for her liking.

    Oh and the channel 'Dave' =

    FACT!

    LIES. You pretend you don't like it, but secretly when nobody is watching you practice all the dance moves.

    Yep, I probably watch Dave more than any other channel. Top Gear reruns .... QI ... Mock the Week ... what else does a man need.

    Glee is actually brilliant... I def. had my doubts at first, I fought and fought and then I finally saw a few eps and was hooked it's not just cheese, it's a great mix of drama and comedy and entertainment, and Sue is probably one of the best antagonists ever shown on TV

    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    I do it to provoke baby Jesus into committing terrible crimes so as to expose him to his followers as the crook he is. That said, I haven't yet lied in this thread

    Good point! Believing in the validity of the false information you repeat does kinda mean you're not lying, at least in the ethical sense. Right?

    He once told me that anyone who likes House would love Grey's Anatomy, and that I should watch it. I watched three episodes of Grey's waiting for it to get good. Three! Minx is a filthy, lying rat bastard, and I will never forgive you for what you did to me Minx! NEVER!

    I may have been fibbing there, but that wasn't in this thread

    Final shot of happiness... warm, gooey, super-chocolatey (90% cocoa + cocoa-powder) cinnamony chocolate cake with amarula, cold milk, sweet company =) and pay-day. and tomorrow I may just decide not to go to the lecture and just have a lovely day instead so the big question is... Band of Brothers, or The Wizard??

    The Wizard isn't as good as The Knight, but it's still among the most lovely books Gene Wolfe has written
