Thursday Open Thread
Welcome to your Thursday open thread. I’m busy, so I’m counting on you to tell me what’s going on.
Just stopping in to say hello but Buzzfeed published “50 Reasons Why The World Is Definitely Ending On Saturday.” This made the list at #1.
While we’re waiting for the World to End, here is a very cool thing to piss off the teajadis in your office:
The *Long Form Mug* or a Tee Shirt! hahahahahaha

Jesus h. Christ, I may have to rethink my opinion of this part of the state. Or it may actually complete validate it.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MORE!~
Bill Colley Tweet (from the twit) today
“9/12 Delaware Patriots meeting at Millsboro FD, 7:00 PM. Guest speaker from GOOH. Recommend attendance”
So, what EXACTLY is “GOOH”/ can you scrape it off your boots??
can you chew it?? should you swallow after?? will it get you elected?
this just gets better and better..
@donviti – I would say they are trying to compete with Sussex Tech
Maybe they will hire a Republican State Senator to PIO and be Liasion for them too??
and not inform the voters they have the job sewen up….during the primary.
donviti – Pick your slack-jawed jaw up off the floor. Three Sussex districts have voted to raise taxes recently. Laurel is building all new schools, Bridgeville is building a new high school and Seaford is going to add on to its high school. We ain’t as backwards as y’all thunk.
Aoine – They’re absolutely trying to compete with Tech, using the sincerest form of flattery. Unfortunately, it’s about a decade too late. Perhaps even more importantly than just having the resources, Tech now has the reputation of being the school where the smartest kids (or the kids with the smartest parents) go. It will be hard for Seaford or Bridgeville (which is also planning an “academy” system) to truly compete. All they can do is try desperately to shore up their brain drain by playing a me-too game.
P.S. I think this is GOOH: http://goooh.com
DV – you also forgot that Cape passed a referendum to build the new high school. Yeah, we do like to educate our kids in modern buildings.
OK – so I checked out GooH.com – thanks for the link donviti
so the question is:
why is politics the only job where people (recently, the right-wing nuts)want to fire the folks who know how to do it and have made it a successful career? and install rank amatuers in their place?? that do not know the art of compromise and persuasion.
There really is a drain to Sussex Tech, they have done a good job recruiting the best and the brightest from around the county – but then again, when you have the best kids, the involved parents and more money per capita in your school that other schools, how can you fail?
Can any of you insiders answer a question about Senator Katz, he of the enthusiasm for school consolidation? Did he go to Delaware public schools? Do his kids?
you know, eventually, those kids down there are going to educate themselves. It’s going to be at their own peril down there. Education is a bad thing
DV – you also forgot that Cape passed a referendum to build the new high school. Yeah, we do like to educate our kids in modern buildings.
MJ,
Isn’t cape sorta…you know…not really part of slower lower?
