Marilyn Chambers is NOT my former algebra teacher.

    Today, I pulled the mother of all "Rickyisms." If you are not familiar with "Rickyisms" then your reform school assignment is watch the following clip and fall madly in love with a Canadian television show, called Trailer Park Boys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR3QHoqfhX8 There is not much more in the world that I dearly love than this show. However, for those who have hang ups on swear words, it may not be for you.
     Anyhow, while discussing graphing in my Algebra class today, my professor had asked who my instructor was last semester. Now, I don't know if it was because I left all my between class snacks at home, and hadn't eaten anything all day aside from a squeezy tube of cherry yogurt. I don't know if I was just "excited" by all the "hot and lusty" terminology that is associated with algebraic graphing; i.e., x and y intercepts, slopes, rise over run, etc. Rawr! All I do know is that I will be in Reform School for a very long time, as my reply was not Marilyn Hewes, but Marilyn Chambers. Yes, that would be 1970's porn queen Marilyn Chambers of "Behind the Green Door" fame. I said this, out loud, in a classroom, of thirty people, and then immediately turned eighty-five shades of scarlet. My professor and a handful of the older students clearly knew who she was, judging by the reactions. I'm sure the youngin's of the class have at least googled her by now, and I'm sure I will go down in the annals as "that porno lady," or some other sophomoric label... and I'm still just a freshman.
