I finally tempered my mild case of exhaustion with a weekend full of sleep, and lovely it was indeed. Whatever ominous dreams usually disturb my slumber were quickly forgotten. This morning I did not even have to rise early to frantically prepare for class, as today was a film-screening day. We spent our time studying one of contemporary cinema’s finest masterpieces, pens poised to jot down the life-changing revelations that would come as lines like the one quoted in this post’s title boomed out of the classroom’s surround-sound system. A good time was had by me, at least. This was followed by yet another nap, some productive meetings with students (and proud we are of all of them), and now, now! I am on my way to procure a drink. I’ll let you guess what I am ordering.

I would have loved to have taken your class and been enthusiastic to do a paper based on the alluded-toward film.* I would have even turned it in ON TIME.
Also, how did Mr. “No-R Rated Films” feel about this?
*Film alluded to? Alluded film? Obviously, I would not be getting anything better than a C+ in your class.
Dude.
WHATEVER you are ordering…make it a double!
S– alluded-to film, maybe? I will find out what Mr. Prudish Moviegoer thinks tomorrow. If he finds that movie offensive, I will utterly lose faith in the Youth Of Today, if ever I had any to be lost, anyway.
C– El Duderino!
O– Oh, I did. A few times.
