Guy next to me in coffee shop explaining how he plans to scam professor whose class he’s skipped all semester.
It is my class.

@grazmike Update #1: e-mail strategy session devolved into discussion of The Walking Dead Season 6 (verdict: “weak”)

@grazmike Update #3: after conferring with one another, they decided to hit the gym before doing anything else. So, that happened.

@grazmike Once had a student never attend, emailed me panicked at midterm & final. Both times I offered him a chance to talk, make a plan /1

Jen Golbeck (@jengolbeck) December 09, 2025@grazmike Never heard from him. Until a year later when he emailed .../2

@grazmike "As you know, I received an A in your class yet my transcript shows an F. Please correct this immediately. I'm up for an award" /3

Jen Golbeck (@jengolbeck) December 09, 2025@garrick_s @grazmike I told my dad the story when it happened and he laughed and said "Good for him! That takes balls!" :)

@grazmike @KevinMKruse this beats the time one of my Princeton students emailed me too sick to come to class./1

Neil J. Young (@NeilJYoung17) December 09, 2025@grazmike @KevinMKruse 10 mins later I ran into him in student center playing pool. He saw me, offered up a weak cough, & a sickly "hello."

.@grazmike this is way better than the time a student (at another U) tweeted an offer of $ to anyone who could summarize my book for her

Benjamin L. Carp (@bencarp) December 09, 2025@grazmike Almost as good as when a student called me an asshole...because my office door was closed and he didn't know I was there.

Thanks, Nerdy Wonka! Hope you’re having a relaxing holiday season.
:)
My daughter teachers at U Of M. She appreciated these! :D :D
This is why I teach 8th grade. They don’t have a chance or the nerve to “skip” class yet, LOL.
Student teacher relationships have gotten more fraught in the age of social media. Beware!
You a little lonely in here, JF? ;)
Pretty quiet isn’t it MP? :-) must be supper time. or everyone is out shopping. :-)
I was for a bit. Hope all is well in Seattle!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years Nerdy, hope all is well with you and yours. Thank you for all you have done for us on TOD this past years we are all very grateful.
Congrats on 1st Judith. Woot.!!
Thanks, Roberta! Haven’t snagged first in ages.
Evening and congrats Judith…from a burnout “swabbie”.
Thanks, Yardarm. Happy Kwanzaa!
That’s lovely, YA! Happy Kwanzaa!
Happy Boxing Day, TODable TOD Community.
My second stop at TOD since Thursday evening.
I hope all had a Wonderful, Peaceful, Joyous Xmas! :)
It’s going to be tough to try to catch up.
Congrats to all the Gold, Silver and Bronze :star: winners since Xmas Day ;)
That’s pretty amazing, and long overdue.
The Globe is a Lot Smaller.
More to the point, with Internet ans Social Media, the World is paying Attention.
OMG The world is watching the American idiots.
The good news is that the World has also been watching the American President.
At least they know all of us aren’t as dumb as Trump.
It’s The Hill…….. a GOPer Mouth Piece.
And Mark Knoller I hope he and his family are having a WON-DER-FUL time
Thanks to Trump and the media, I expect more of this to happen. Because if anyone knows how to be terrorists it’s the racists white man.
Yep! Pathetic that too many of these creeps claim to be doing God’s work.
What the rwnjs don’t get.
Rainbows seem to like our president. :)
Hope yu had a great holiday. I was just thinking the same
Thanks, Pf58. I’ve had a great Xmas season! In fact I was just playing online scrabble at Pogo. Hope yours was a good time as well.
Yup. Mother Nature is an O’bot! :)
:) She is showing her appreciation for the concerted effort PBO and his admin have been making re the climate. You finished feeding your face all kinds of ‘forbidden’ xmas foods? Also too, Hopef, isn’t this around the time you “pig out” on that twilight zone stuff?
Reminds me somewhat of the Biblical quote accompanying the ‘heavenly’ light that shone on another deliverer….
‘This is my Beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased. Hear ye him!
This is from last year’s vacation where the Obamas were staying on vacation.
Consider these things in the coming New Year.
Especially since abstinence works so well. …NOT! Just ask spokeswoman Bristol Palin who just gave birth to her 2nd out of wedlock child from different fathers.
People are so clever.

The toons are great, AMK-especially the last one about the military industrial complex. Love the style, too.
Sounds truly wild in Texas - stay safe any TODers out there
Moooooooooooorning!
