We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I love ASS minutes...especially long ones.
Uh-oh, one of my students is paraphrasing the teacher again.
Seriously, kids have to be reminded how much instruction and work can get done in just 15 minutes.
I am surprised this is from Long Beach and not from San Anselmo.
My dog has a really long ass
ooohhh he's just too damn cute!

I've always heard that studying another language improves your knowledge of English grammar.
Apparently not.
Life story- especially because I take German and it's the longest 45 minutes of my life. Funny find :)

o.0 he is pretty cute, isn't he? His friends aren't bad either :P

This is just so quintessential of school language lessons, people in my class always do well and always hate the fact they actually have to learn some vocab.
little known fact: ancient German measurements of time used several different types of minutes (much like the Eskimos have 100 words for snow)
the main ones were:
first the basic "minute"
then the "ass minute"
next the "hard ass minute"
followed by "long ass minute"
and "flaming long ass minute"
the longest being the "long flaming donkey ass minute"
(as well as some fraction minutes, such as the "half-assed minute". which was roughly half the length of minute)
Hmmm. I'm actually betting this note was written by the teacher.
I am a teacher. I've written this same note in classes FOR teachers, or in teacher staff meetings. Or during sermons at church. Pretty much any time I am forced to sit and 'listen' when it's boring. Kids and adults learn best by doing, not listening.
This could be read: We still got 15!
(never mind. My comment is lame-ass)
Wir haben noch fünfzehn lange Eselsminuten der Schule!
Gottfluch!
Heh. I put the phrase in babelfish, and got that, then re-translated back to English: long donkey minutes! Hah.
Well, at least it wasn't French class! Speaking of LONG.. German has really really long words. I don't speak German, but I think that when they want to describe something (add an adjective) they just make the word longer. I was reading the label on a loaf of German Stollen bread (yummy!) that I got over the holidays and it made me really glad I didn't have to learn to spell those long German words!
I think those sausage-shaped exclamation points could be Stollen bread, or maybe bratwurst.
Here's an example of long German words.. what Wikipedia says they call the Christmas Stollen: Weihnachtsstollen or Christstollen
What is this educational system of this country coming to? Everyone knows that this should read "We still got 15 goddamn long ass minutes of class."
@monkey - awesome!!
Monkey, what you wrote reminds me that Germans are NEVER late! No matter what they call it, a minute is a minute, and a minute late is not acceptable!
Colleen, you're lucky your classes are only 45 minutes. Try ninety.
But I quit Spanish (which is just as painfully tedious) and now take Latin. Best choice I've made regarding school.
At all ya'll in class... wow YOU are lucky! How about 8 hours of work? Now those are some god damn long ass hours!
Long-Ass-Minutes are better than Wide-Ass-Minutes
@Mary Shea
I wish my school offered Latin!
