Mission accomplished

30th April 2004

I just want to report another successful day perverting the minds of America’s youth.

I took a substitute teaching assignment today. Little did the school district know that I didn’t take the job for the paltry $78.50 they pay for a day of babysitting kids while they watch educational videos.

I took the job for the opportunity it gave me to distribute the Master’s materials.

I successfully handed out “Podkayne of Mars” and “Starman Jones” to two different students.

I also convinced one of these students that if he was *really* into sword and sorcery, he should check out “Glory Road.”

Soon, all will be converted!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
