Ever possibly ruined your project...

[Hyper Nerds Eat Cookies]

...just so you could get some laughs? It's a risk but I do it all the time for a project. I think I get points for laughter.

Really. I do that.

EXHIBIT A:
create your own country from the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and/or Europe. I got with my best friend and we took over the whole world, except for Morocco and those countries we couldn't pick. We called it Unicorn World, and it was a dictatorship. All the major cities and stuff was some random word like Shplee and Shplue. Once upon a time in its history, 2 three-year-olds took over Unicorn World (when it was smaller) and after winning a war against the rest of the world, celebrated with alcohol. Every New Year's Eve, we held a holiday called "Burn-A-Nation Day" where we would burn a country to the ground. We did it to Morocco in 2012 so they would think the world did end. And we also did it to Chad for some reason I don't remember. Then we did it to Canada, because (since we live in Texas, mainly) you never hear of anything going wrong in Canada. Like, you hear of wars in Afghanistan, but nothing in Canada. Our motto was "The happiest only place on Earth." We also had a national anthem to the tune of My Country tis of thee:
"My Unicorn World
Sweet land without liberty
Of thee I sing
Land where everyone cries -- OF HAPPINESS--
Land where everyone dies
From every mountainside
Let dictators win!"

We got an A on that. I feel accomplished.


EXHIBIT B:
In the credits for some math thing, I wrote this:
"Awesomeness by [my name]
Awesomenesser by [partner's name]
Awesomenessness by [other partner's name]

This whole freaking powerpoint by [partner's name], [other partner's name], [my name], Microsoft, and Bill Gates.

Special Thanks to Billy G. for inventing Microsoft Powerpoint 2003.

Special thanks to [friend 1's name] and [friend 2's name] for doing absolutely nothing but asking to be in the credits. A message to you: You didn't really think we would put you in here, did you?"
I got a perfect score. I feel even more accomplished.


Have you ever taken the risk of a bad grade just so you could have fun with your school projects?

I'm too chicken. emo But it sounds totally fun from your point of view. Great job to you! 8D

One time in Highschool, I was in the Health Academy (vocational program) and my first class was Medical Terminology. I had this real a** of a teacher, she was so stupid, the Seniors knew more than her and she was under the belief every single student she had was out to get her (to her credit we did all hate her). Her idea of teaching was to put a 20 word vocab list on the board every Monday and then test us on them every Friday. That was it! We had a week of nothing to do but study flash cards. Everything else we needed to learn for next year we had to study ourselves.

So one day she decides to something different and tells us to write something using all the vocabulary for that week. Her exact words: "an essay or short story or something like that"

Now my friends and I were pretty pissed at her at this time. We had worked hard all year qualifying and raising money to go to the state HOSA competition, spending our own money and making our own chocolates and cookies to sell (because she refused to get candy for us to sell) only for her to tell us she is quitting in the middle of second semester, right before the competition so we couldn't go! (Subs were not allowed to lead trips and chaperones can't go with out a teacher) (and she wondered why we hated her)

So we decided to be smart asses and pun the words to make a crazy short story. We had Mr. Geri Actric and his girlfriend Su Pine go see Dr. Osha, ect. . .

It was a funny story and everyone loved it (even our English Teacher next door was laughing!) Except the a** teacher who instead of talking to my friends and I about the story, called my mom in for a conference! I was a (almost) straight A student who never got in trouble and she wanted to talk to my mom just about the freaking story! Even my mom was upset because she had to drive all that way and back, and I live an hour away from the school, just to be told the teacher didn't like my story!

At least the next year, the new teacher used the extra money to get us all tickets to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures since the competition was in Orlando. whee

I feel like such a pansy because I've NEVER done that gonk
Hm..........one day twisted
Maybe I'll do that in English....maybe (simply because my teacher is a preppy biatch)

Aw....Canada?! I live there gonk
(And all the bad stuff going on is related to our government ripping us off, still being England's b***h and being stuck with SOCIALISM!!!!)  

[Harley91594]

I've never done that. Maybe soon because I'm about to start English and everyone says the teacher I'm going to have is a [(*insert every bad name under the sun here*)]. We do something called Scene-Offs in her class, which are like skits based on whatever book we are reading in class at the time. Maybe we'll do a parody of her in the Scene-Off, heheheh... twisted  

[Denkou Soshiatae]

Well the only time I can remember doing that is...
Once in drama class we were put into groups to write andperform a 10 minuteplay about bank robbery. I wote the whole thing andat the end, once the 4 theives had been caught, I put:
He B?
Yeah
DONT DROP THE SOAP!

yeh thts the cosest I have ever gotten!
I am kind of a pansy...

Not a project, but once I had no clue what the answer was on a quiz. It was over part of some book we'd had to read in class, and it was like "Why did so and so do this?" Instead of trying to make an educated guess or leaving it blank, I went on about Harry Potter, haha. I was like "So and so did this owing to the fact that the famous Triwizard tournament was taking place and Filch had been enforcing school policy more strictly than usual..." on and on about everything and anything from Harry Potter, haha. The teacher said she had fun reading it, but she didn't give me any of my points back. xD
