If confronted by anything that you want to defeat... smack it with an equally large boa!

Brought to you via being linked to another, earlier post of yuki_onna's. I decided to stick around a bit and read some more. Glad I did, because this is a classic.

Reminds me of sparkindarkness' HADDOCKS and HOUNDS. Ohh, lovely name for a band. Both. Equally Large Boa, frontlining for Haddocks & Hounds! Get your ticket now.

I need a snake to add to the anti-stupidity arsenal!

How about an ELB icon? That way you can use it like you do the hounds icon when referring to stupidity.

I'm damned proud of that icon too. *cheesy grin* Might have been better if I could've gotten a screen shot of the Python vs. Boa movie itself but... *shrug*

Feel free to scamper off with it.

OT: Can you do me a favor and tell me about a British school system concept? Tell me about prefects. What they do, how they are appointed, and all that stuff. I'm thinking of writing up something about starting an initiative/program here to utilize them in American school... Especially if I get into the TFA.

*HUGS*

This icon could help muchly :) I will ninja!

Ok, prefects are so very very very old fashioned now. You do occasionally get them in some of the extremely posh and expensive public schools, but really they're unheard of. I think they've always been kind of reserved to expensive boarding (or some non-boarding public) schools.

Basically they are older students who are given powers and responsibilities over younger students. They are used to mentor, aid in teaching and watch and even discipline younger students - and in some of the more traditional schools had younger students who acted as kind of servants as recompense for the extra responsibility. They can be used to watch other prep (study periods/free periods) help teachers in classes, roaving rule enforcers etc

How they're appointed varies from school to school, but usually they are chosen by the headmaster as promising examples and role models.

Thanks for the info!

I'll be sure to giggle first time I see you use the ELB icon. *___0
