Simon Rischling

It’s a bike...it’s a plane...no it’s Simon Rischling on a bike holding a plane!  Why?  I don’t know, his rationale is well past my cognitive capabilities, but so was his research paper (yes, the research paper he earned an ‘A’ on).  Simon’s research paper on militarizing police forces was so informative, persuasive, and fluent rumors have been circulating around room #207 that the National Organization of Police Chiefs wish for him to spearhead a major campaign on just that topic. Other tittle-tattle from the 207 speculates that Simon himself is his own high profile anonymous interviewed source on the topic.  Further gossip suggests that Simon in fact has a much larger document in which he specifically rolls out a major law enforcement militarized plan. Whatever hearsay is floating about, his research paper (and project as a whole) was off the chain and running free. Congrats Simon Rischling...English Geek of the Week

Kyle Baumann

Emotion...raw emotion. This instinctive sentiment is what one receives from Kyle Baumann. Upon handing back his research paper I said “Hey Kyle, good job. You were one of three ‘A’ papers”...then he wept, and wept, and wept. When the weeping was nearing creepy classroom interference levels I went to see if Kyle was ok, saying “Kyle are you ok?” He said “ I wan chu wa moo-moo gu-tu wa mi.” Then I said “Kyle, I cannot understand you when you are crying” to which Kyle replied “I huh-huh-huh wep na ya pi”. The we looked at each other awkwardly and he garnered an ounce of composure and said “This is the first ‘A’ I have ever earned on a paper”; my reply was “Well dude, the paper is nutty good...JIF P.B. Extra Crunchy Nutty Good and an ‘A’ well earn”.  Note to self, no more positives for Kyle Baumann because the flood gates opened again with “ You gaga ja bopa ‘Murica chee-chee 2nd Amendment ya fra na…” Congrats Kyle Baumann...English Geek of the Week!
