1. Inform them about Marx’s little skin condition. Yes. Boils. Marx had boils all over his body. That’s probably the most important fact one can know about Marxism, that right there. Announce that your new favourite quotation is “The bourgeoisie will remember my carbuncles until their dying day.”
2. Bring red velvet cupcakes to share during break. Because, you know, red . . . communism . . . right? The cupcakes will also cause your professor to remark that eating cupcakes while talking about commodity form makes her feel sneaky.
So, yeah. Pretty good seminar today, I guess.
Why can’t my musicology seminar be filled with people like you? Why can’t I eat red velvet cupcakes? Why can’t I make more intelligent, or at least *interesting* comments in said musicology seminar than “I dressed myself”?
I would make cupcakes and bring them myself, only my culinary arts tend towards the savory, rather than the sweet.
Perhaps a lemon rosemary roast chicken will make them love me more. Yes, yes, that’s what I’ll do.
Ya know, our prof brought in snacks on the first day of Community Psych, and then the rest of the class continued that and everyone took turns bringing snacks into class. We even continued the tradition to the next level Community Psych class since most of us in the second class were also in the fist class. That’s how my chocolate chip cookies came to be known as “Community Psych Cookies”. I think every class should include snacks. People feel more relaxed and conversation feels more organic when everyone is distracted with deliciousness.
I brought one of those packs of mini-donuts that you can get at the grocery store today to Contracts and then I didn’t share. People had to spend 3 hours over prime luncheon hours watching me eat them.
It was delicious.
@ Corwin: that is just plain eviLLL.
