attack of the 50 ft berzelius

i was good. i did not dismember the party kids. i merely pointed out to them that they'd spelled 'debauchery' wrong on the sign they'd put up pleading for donations, and then i was on my way. i heard the two bickering as i walked off: "i TOLD you it had an A!" "what? whatever. wait. it has an A? where?"

(my frustration did break loose in lab, though, after an hour-long derail from the kid who hasn't come to class sober since september. but even there, all i did was point out that his argument basically boiled down to "wah! but there are so many books in the world and they're hard to read, and i can't bullshit with science like i can with philosophy!"

which it did. sadly.)
