1. To summarise: If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit :) n/t

3. Bwahaha!

I'm going to pass that statement around at work. Our company bullshitter is flaring up again (he's kind of like herpes) and it will be well received by many.

2. The website is quite interesting.

I just wish they had everything in a format that was easier to print up so it's readable.

4. Equivocation

No cat has eight tails. One cat has one more tail than no cat. So there exists a cat with nine tails

I love taking comm classes.

8. I teach the basic intro class

The high school kids can take it for college credit. Intro to comm theory, interpersonal comm, public speaking.

I have my Master's in Comm.

9. I loved my public speaking class.

One of our assignments was to make a speech advocating something controversial, so we got speeches on: chemtrails, fake moon landing, terrorism can be good, children should be spanked, and I did no free will. It was a hilarious week of school for me.

I think interpersonal comm should be a paper writing class. My interpersonal class was so easy, I didn't learn as much as I wanted, but a lot of the info is really good. To be fair, I did take it as an online class, and I learn best in a classroom setting.

10. I like teaching public speaking

Been doing it for 25 years. Yikes.

We do papers for the interpersonal part. Watch a movie and then apply some of the theories. I also have them watch Survivor and they post online--communication analysis of what was happening, what they could do better, what they did well, that kind of stuff.
