The Pen-Gnaw

Shortly after I heard another one, it was clicky, but not. I looked around me to locate the source of this annoyance. And I determined that it was emanating from the mouth of a student two rows behind me. His mouth was wide open, and a pen was hanging out. He was gnawing on his pen like a teething puppy on a chew toy, completely oblivious to the annoying sound he was producing that filled the room and my ears.
First of all, if you want to put your pen in your mouth that's your business. Okay? But I guarantee you, unless you dip that thing in alcohol every night, I wouldn't bring it near my mouth. Just think for a minute. Where do you keep your pen? A pocket, somewhere on your backpack, maybe if you're really neat in some sort of zip-lock-type bag with other writing utensils. Now think, have you ever, ever, ever dropped that pen? Or hell, put it down directly on a desk? Then it's dirty. Hell, it's dirty from the point you altered the seat so you have something to write on, touching something that hundreds of people, many of whom probably don't wash their hands, have touched. Then you go ahead and grab your pen, and stick their dirty hands right in your mouth. You dirty motherfucker! And he's gnawing on it, dirty, dirty, dirty. Whatever. What really gets me is that I can't tune it out. It's this random annoying noise coming from some random obnoxious kid that doesn't have the manners or cleanliness to keep foreign objects that aren't food out of his mouth (presumably like a mother would tell their child, or you know, someone with common sense would just know). After an hour of this, it finally drowned out, perhaps he finally decided to take notes with it, or perhaps he choked to death. I don't know, I don't care.
For those of you who are friendly with your pens like this savage beast, think of your health before putting that pen in your mouth again. Think of your loved ones, who you share your mouth with (with the kissing and the like). And then, think of those around you, like poor me, distracted in my learning environment. What valuable nugget of information did I miss out on directly because of your filthiness? You mangey beast!

I missed the Seventh Game of the Stanley Cup Finals because I was doing laundry. However, I did phone-a-friend and find out the score was 2-1 with 3:07 to go in the Third Period. Poor people-who-are-fans-of-Calgary (Calgarians? Calgarites? Flamers? Canadians?)
I'm chugging along through my Tom Clancy novel, just 265 pages to go (out of 1027). If only I could be any-kind-of-productive at work. So much time,so little productivity. It's unbelievable. I have nothing but time, but I can't get myself to do it. Test on Friday and another on Monday. I'm not all that worried.
I've looked at various trivia for a couple of movies on IMDB.com. I've read a multitude of reviews of "The Scout" starring Brendan Fraser and Albert Brooks (Einstein- teehee), which I watched last night with Mari. Or should I say Mari watched with me. I own it on DVD, I was just wondering what random, other, vocal-type people thought. I read all the Lakers-stuff on ESPN.com, along with the things that interested me on Page 2 and 3 (other ESPN things). I emailed my sister three times, in response to one line questions she sent me. I answered a single phone call, and helped one, or was it two? people with job-related stuff. I ate lunch.
Today on Saved by the Bell. The gang are going through Driver's Ed with Mr. Tuttle. Slater is soon to turn 16 and get his license. He goes out and buys a car which the gang-sans-Zach help him fix up. Zach is worried about Slater stealing Kelly away from him.. as usual, so he concocts a plan to get Slater in tons o' trouble so that he will be unable to earn his driver's license before the turn of the century. Zach masterminds a plan utilizing the voice imitation skills of Screech to set a trap for Slater. Zach moves the driver's ed car into position outside Belding's office, in the only hallway in the school. Slater happens by, and ends up behind the wheel as planned. However, Kelly is on her way to Volleyball practice when Slater offers to give her a ride. Zach tries to get her to stay out of the car, so she won't get in trouble with Slater, but as it happens, Slater crashes into the lockers just outside Belding's office. They all run off leaving the crash site. Belding is out for justice and when all is said and done, Screech rats Zach out to the gang and Zach's plan completely backfires as he is removed from the driver's ed class for the year. But, lucky for him, Kelly admires his noblity as he takes responsibility for his action, and remains in their relationship.
More in a bit. Customer! He walked away unsatisfied. Life's tough for Meteorologists I guess.
Saved by the Bell: Where are they now? Because I'm truly that bored.
Elizabeth Berkeley (aka Jessie Spano): In November 2003, she married Ralph Lauren's nephew (Greg Lauren). She's been in a number of under-the-radar movies since Showgirls. And was supposed to start on Broadway in April 2004 in a play with Richard Dreyfuss entitled Sly Fox.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar (aka Zach Morris): He and his wife, Lisa Ann Russell had their first child earlier this year. "Zach" can be seen weekly on NYPD Blue as Detective John Clark Jr. (which is funnnnny if you're a Tom Clancy fan)
Mario Lopez (aka Albert Clifford "A.C." Slater): Was briefly married to Ali Landry (you go AC!!) Mario can currently be seen on the Animal Planet show "Pet Star." He's an amazing dancer and has been in a few movies since the end of Saved by the Bell, as well as "The Other Half" kind of like "The View" for guys.
Lark Voorhies (aka Lisa Turtle): She was once engaged to Martin Lawrence. But is currently married to Miguel Coleman. She currently manages her production company, and has done acting in movies and soaps since her graduation from Bayside.
Dustin Diamond (aka Samuel "Screech" Powers): Last I heard he was working as a stand-up comedian. But apparently he participated in Celebrity Boxing 2, defeating Ron Palillo (Horshack from Welcome Back, Kotter). Screech has spunk! Nothing on marriage, but apparently he dated Candace Cameron (Growing Pains, motherfuckah!)
Tiffany (-Amber) Thiessen (aka Kelly KaPOWski): Was a main character on the tv show Fastlane, had a recurring role on Good Morning, Miami - and is "currently" dating Brady Smith.
