Bear does what?

I observe a very diverse middle school classroom in Sioux City, Iowa. To give you a glimpse of the diversity, I thought I would share with you the names of two of my students.

Thomas Bearcomesout
Cinnamon Flyinghawk

After discovering names like these, only something like "Paprika Beartakesdump" will impress me.

Until tomorrow!

Oh Johnny Weaseltickler, when will you stop this dutch pretending and embrace your Native American Heritage.

P.S. It was prophecied long ago, written in ancient runes on the cornerstone of Dordt College:
"Ending the April month, in the 2nd Cycle and Five, an entry will be born to save all blogkind, bringing with it a time flowing with milk and honey as only before dreamed."

It is nearly time Johnny can the mighty blog I have heard you speak of be the fulfillment?

What about Cloud Dancing, the all-knowing mentor to Sully in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman? We all know that Sully wouldn't have been half the man he was without him.

And who can forget Chief Henry, the influential tutor to Zack Morris who helps him find his roots? It's tough being a track star and a loyal Injun at the same time.

I forgot about Chief Henry; he was great--talk about a good Indian name. Didn't they catch him smoking a roach? No wait, that was someone else. But seriously, everyone knows why the Chief was so chill.

Im glad you brought the bear taking a dump subject up. Over Spring Break while hiking in the woods, one of my fellow hikers and I stumbled across a young woman squatting behind a log, peeing. At first I thought it was a brightly colored bears, and thought "Shoot, there really are Care Bears!" But then we she embarrassingly pulled up her pants and ran away I knew that my search for such a mystical animal would continue.
