Random, Thoughts, X,XXIV

When I went to a Bama messgae board a few yrs back..
Here's a typical thread from the Alabama message boards (FarmAnimalsOnly.com)

"Roll Tide"

"I just got released from prison. Parole Tide"

"Congrats Roll Tide"

"Where is bamawriter? Scroll Tide"

"I gotta register my 9 year old for 1st grade. Enroll Tide"

"I'm going to go vote for the pedophile Roy Moore.
Poll Tide"

"I'm about to shower with my brother. Pole Tide"

"I'm jealous. Roll Tide"

"I'm going to Clemson message board. Troll Tide"

"My brother is giving me a prostate exam today. Hole Tide"

"I seduced my sister away from my uncle. Stole Tide"

"Just found out even when you get divorced, you are still brother and sister. Loophole Tide"

"I can still dip with no teeth. Skoal Tide"

"Auburn sucks. Roll Tide"

For Vince Young....

1. You got a lower score on the Wonderlic test than a Chia Pet. Work on that..

2. If it wasnt for volunteers from Tennessee, Austin would be home of the University of Northern Mexico at Austin. Remember that.

Seeing this reminds me that I actually use this in class, usually with ninth graders. I have them take the test. Then there's a website of what athletes made. They have to pick an athlete (any sport) who made an identical or lower score and write a short, non-plagiarized 2-3 page biography focusing on the achievements of that player. Then they present it to the class. They seem to enjoy it. Sometimes they'll come back and say something like "Hey that was my dad's or my uncle's favorite player." And sometimes it will be a current athlete they like, so it doesn't seem like "learning."
