Unless I misread that, I really feel sorry for Dragon Lady. She taught both of her half credit classes at exactly the same time.

Oooo. It must have been like Intro to Hebrew Underwater Basket Weaving! I mean, after all, all the students were the same.

Is the Hebrew style of basket weaving very different than the usual method?

Dragon Lady · Post by **Dragon Lady** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 1:14 pm

Well, yes. The Hebrew style is based post-Joseph in Egypt and pre-Exodus. Thus, the Hebrew style uses freshly cut reeds from the Nile. It specializes in making baskets water-tight enough that you could place a baby in it and place it in a river and not fear that water will enter said basket.

Then, while we weave our baskets, we sing songs like the Hebrew Alphabet song, or I Am a Child of God in Hebrew. We randomly put our baskets aside to play games such as Blood Bath or Hebrew Family Feud.

Really, you only get a half credit of each, so there's not a whole lot I can teach you. (I actually feel bad for the students. They still have to come 5 hours a week to get one credit.) But we will have fun nevertheless. Except when Portia tries to drown me. Hopefully not in the Nile.

C'mon, Dragon Lady, I might have a mental breakdown, but I really don't think I would try to drown anyone.

Thank you, Humble Master, for making me look like a crazed psychopath! :D

(Secretly liking any attention.)

So, did I hold my own? I'm anxious to know.

Against the might of HFAC?

No man can withstand.

Whoops. One of Dragon Lady's classes was supposed to be on TTH. My bad. But obviously the Hebrew Basket Weaving class is proving possibly more popular than the separate classes.

Obviously it is possibly more popular? Wha?

After reading your response I briefly thought that I probably should have said "it obviously would have proved more popular, based on Dragon Lady's description of the combined class." But then I realized I wrote that story, so I stand by what I said.

I much prefer them both at the same time. Then I have total autonomy as to which I teach which day. Really, it's all about control.

Portia... I'm not the one who said you tried to drown me. Blame Humble Master. I'm the victim here.

Don't forget she was his 13-year old COUSIN bride. It was a normal occurence in the South then, but it was scandalized thanks to the British Tabloids.

No joke, if you're drowned in the Nile. ;)

Oh, I can't really blame Humble Master . . . I deserved it. haha

Yeah, I was going to add that, but it turns out that they weren't first cousins (as I'd always assumed), but first cousins once removed. Which makes it (marginally) less creepy . . .

I'd say that being first cousins once removed makes it even creepier. That means that she was his cousin's daughter.
