The Watercooler, as always, is the best thing you will see on the Internet today, mainly because it is the best thing I saw yesterday, or since the last Watercooler at least. There is, however, the possibility that you will see tomorrow’s Watercooler today, in which case the best thing you saw today is not today’s Watercooler but a future Watercooler. You may think you read that yesterday, but that was actually your future self trying to warn your present-day self that you would be reading this… again.

Today’s special edition of The Watercooler features something a little different. Usually for Halloween, people like to dress up in all kinds of super-neat costumes. This is my suggestion for the hot costume of Halloween parties this year: German school teacher. You will be dressing up by dressing down.

Very slightly not safe for work, but that’s why The Watercooler goes up so early.

What you just saw was a crappily shot cell phone video of a German school teacher (as in a teacher in Germany, not a teacher of the German language) playing ‘Truth or Dare’ with her students at some kind of assembly. Had this been the case in my high school, I would probably have felt more inclined to attend. This is the type of sacrifice teachers should be making to get kids interested in learning again.

Do it for the kids! And, you’re welcome.

Think you have something that could be Watercooler material? Send it to dlandis@ripten.com. If your submission gets featured, you will win a prize package full of pride and accomplishment.

SeasonedSalt on November 1, 2008 1:54 am Ha, I dress as a German school teacher everyday. Tomonoatmeal Cookigaki on November 1, 2008 8:09 am Cookigaki is starting to really approve of Seasoned Salt. Cookigaki wants to know how big Seasoned Salt’s boobs are and if she wears leather… and if she has any ties to ninja. Answer me or else Cookigaki does not approve! RSS feed for comments on this post.
