yeah da raised brow. fuck that shit. i took a pascal class at motherfuck memorial comm college in b'more. i'd take a front seat & not write shit. teach couldn't tell a lambda from da mole on his face anyway. at the finals i finish first. the mo'fucker is like, 'well giving up already?' gave him mah look "if i didn't need ur fucking grade my ankle would be up yer fucking asshole by now, asshole'. to his credit the mo'fucker had enough decency left to fuckin' apologize. so i tell him he had a bug in problem 4 & went mah way.
