h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was waiting for some sort of defense today in the W. C. when the *dare I say it* brutishly ignorant Supervisor baselessly referred to
A. the guide as a simple e-mail program and
B. threatened to revoke my privaleges

You should have jumped in and said something smart like, "the base meaning of the universe is 42" or rattle off a "Your Momma is so fat..." joke.
Oh well. I guess if you call down the thunder, you must also reap the whirlwind. So, any suggestions as to how I should covertly continue my Guide activities? Sure I could do it from home, but where's the fun in that?

I thought the high school allowed stuff like the Guide and personal research before school started....at least that's what Vidmaster tells me. I know the junior high doesn't...grrr.

Wll, I guess I'm no I got caught posting to the BFG thread

Just what goes on at the BFGs? I've never been by.

Oh, you know. The usual. Drinking, violence, mayhem, s, more violence, pillaging, , violence, , sillyness, more , mayhem, , , and a touch of banter.

I would have said something about how the guide is not email, and how we're using it for a collaborative research project about something or other with a bunch of people overseas, except that explination wouldn't really work with your posting involving violence and s. Next time, though...

I don't know about continuing guide activity at school. Maybe you should temporarily switch to goo (even though it looks like poo), and just post to academic type threads, thus making Mr. Stone leave you alone. Or something. I've still been using it, and nobody has said anything to me.

Well, let's start with what we do know... You are still using the Guide, and have not been been bothered at all. When I use the Guide, I am mercilessly harassed. That sounds like a distinctly discriminatory practice to me. Maybe I should slap the school silly with a of a lawsuit. I could lobby the NAACP, but I'm not black. I guess the ACLU is out because I'm not 18... I guess that only leaves the NAAWP, but from what I've heard they are loosely affiliated with the Arian Nations and World Church of the Creator (skinheads in other words...) They probably wouldn't be the best option for me, as I have publicly defended minority rights...
I guess I could force the school to give me freedom of speech and expression, but everyone knows that high-schoolers' rights have been consistently denied by the Supreme Court... A regular attourney is too expensive. Any insightful legal advice? I guess I could always shut up and go back to my

How about turning the monitor away from the WC supervisors...

Too easy, Vidmaster. That's just too simple.

You could try choosing a computer that gives you the best view of any approaching supervisers--or do they place the computers so that it's impossible?--and always keeping a minimized window on a really serious entry/conversation that you can display when the supervisors come near.

Or you could just develop a really fine sense of hearing. My brother and I are so experienced in playing computer games at unapproved times that we can sense our parents' car from a half-mile away. Maybe that wouldn't work in such a confined space, though.

We could move to the other side of the room, by the mirror, but that would leave us vulnerable to being supervised through the mirror.

Just do what I do: Have about 6 windows open at all times, and switch between them so rapidly that the supervisor doesn't know what the heck you're doing.
