it's that time again...

that's right. the time of year for beating heads - rather, one head, mine - against desks, walls, tables, really any hard surface. behold these opening sentences for a compare/contrast paper:

"The two photographs or the two art piece that I choose where "The Flagellation of Christ" by Samuel H. Kress Collection. And I lost the other title of my other choice but I guess I'll have to do without."

or this title:
"There Alike but Different"

as mr. mb said, "i think that's a line from The Matrix or something...it's trying so hard to seize the dynamic tension of paradox, but instead is settling for the depressing vagueness of dumb."

I laughed a lot with this post - I especially love Mr. MB's commentary. My personal favorite as a TA was the student who actually wrote in his paper that we should spank the terrorists.

Holy Crapoli! Please don't hurt that pretty head with all that banging.

ahhhhh. soul-crushing, but artless. it's going to take all of your humor and humanity, but you will get those grades turned in. i believe.
