Sounds like a writing assignment....rob the bank....THEN, students write about what happens next.
Sounds like no one was hurt. Thats good.

Leave it to you, Jane, to enrapture them with parallel structure. I could be standing on my head, singing the "Star Spangled Banner, hair on fire, smoke spewing out my ass, and folks would still be checking their watches!

Yea...right down from my neighborhood and I found out about it when i got to work at 11:30 PM and opened up the now outdated newspaper. Talk about oblivion. Oh wait...I was in Bloomington all day. Yea. That's it...that's wy I had no idea. Wait...were those "that's" supposed to have apostrophes...lord, now I am conscious of my puctuation when I comment. I think I am OK...That's is actually That IS, not THATS as in many THATS! OK, I'm good.
Checking on the GAL thing btw!

I have forgotten more than I ever knew about commas and apostrophes. If I misuse them, please forgive me, huh?
It is probably a good thing you didn't know about the robbery. How could you teach or they learn if you knew that was going on?

Speaking of comma placement, what is the purpose of the third comma in this sentence? "A guy wearing a bright orange sweatshirt, a ski mask, carrying a bag of loot, disappeared into thin air." It seems to be there only to separate the subject ("guy") from the predicate ("disappeared") which, according to Sister Mary Flagellation of the Nuns of Perpetual Pounding, constitutes sufficient grounds for her to smash my writing hand with a 2 X 4. Is that also the purpose of the comma in this sentence? "I don't think it's a coincidence that the children who grow up in households wherein there are no books or music, are generally the kids who end up in the slow class at school."
Sign me "Confused".
