April Fools

Ha Ha, we got you. Ok so maybe we didn't, but it is only because here at A Cage of Words we care for our readers and we don't want to deceive you. Maybe we don't always get the quotes exactly right, or sometimes details in our reporting are slightly changed to protect the guilty, but for the most part we tell it how it is. This is the completely biased and generally poor written quality you have come to expect from us, and we don't want to disappoint you by pulling some big April fools prank.

I would like to congratulate Chis on winning the Peacock Feather Tournament at Midstates. I like how in his post Chris stepped up and took responsibility for his part in the loss of the Baggo tournament, it reminded me of a Saved By the Bell episode in Season 2, which aired on September 29, 1990, production code 6336, entitled Driver's Education where Fearing that Kelly would rather go steady with Slater if Slater learned to drive first, Zack plots to make Slater fail his driver's test. This leads to Slater having an accident in the practice car and a locker falling on Kelly. When she realizes who was behind the crash, she makes out her injury to be worse than it really is (Thank you Wiki). I think the turning point in this episode was when Slater said to Mr. Belding, "I was in the seat, I will take the heat." I pray that one day the current AC at Camp Gray will be able to learn the lesson of assuming responsibility for ones own actions that our good friends Slater and Chris taught us.
Thank you Slater, Thank you!

I know I when I was in 7th grade I learned this lesson from Mr. West who made me write 175 times: I must assume responsibility for my own actions even if other influenced me. It was also then when I learned to hate math and developed the foundations for what would later become my ability to understand logical consequences.

Also just in case you fly a lot you might want to check this out, you never know.

Keep up the fight

Did this post make me happy? Yes - I laughed out loud.

Did this post make me angry? Yes - How come I didn't think to use a Saved By The Bell reference in my blog?

You da man.

Thanks for that last tip. I will print it out and keep it in my pocket on the flight to Chicago.
