Thirdly, we now consider how easy it is to be a good editor:
1.Talk loudly.
2.Repeat yourself.
3.Explain everything with food analogies.
4.Unless you’re editing a chef. They often like weather analogies.
Secondly, speaking of weather, we have an update on our recent what-it-actually-feels-like exposé. Thanks to the annoying, persnickety investigators we’ve deployed to places like Eau Claire, Butte, and Truth Or Consequences, we report COLLUSION!
That’s right, your chipper local weather forecaster, with his or her "Let’s Go Bowling!!!" demeanor is actually skewing
the forecast with statements like, "A blizzard could knock out power in our viewing area for days!" And the power stays on, right? But you rush out to buy crap like milk and bread before everyone else does, right? That’s because the milk and bread factories are paying your local Barbie and Ken weather dolls to worse-ify the forecast. You heard it here first, folks . . . thanks to the incisive reportage you’ve come to expect from Flossophy Friday.
And finally, Firstly . . .
Better than editing and reporting COLLUSION is receiving a homicide intervention appreciation. THANKS to amazing comedic multi-lingual Richmond, Virginia educator, Elsa Woodaman.
Hey, Gang!
I love these and look forward to them every Friday! I have to say that this is the time of year when most seniors are accepted into college and feel the need to brag, primarily by venting their bile and trashing all things high school in their premature role as college students. As I remind them often, they are in the unattractive position of being jaded without the benefit of experience. Which is akin to an immaculate conception but less fun - wait, immaculate conceptions can't be fun by definition - my mistake! More like pretending to be drunk on virgin daiquiris. I knew the virginity card was in there
somewhere!
Anywhoo, on Friday, when I wanted to bludgeon a senior for being a dumbass, this email came along and it really toned down my homicidal urges.

This week is a big one. This guy had ambitions. One of them was to change America through music. He succeeded. Amazing. That’s hard to do.
