    Welcome to #WeirdEd! Tonight we're talking IDIC, Star Trek, tattoos, and probably also teaching at some point if we get to it.
  • MissShuganah Aug 8 @ 10:02 PM EDT
    Heavy sigh. Tweetdeck is acting up on me again. I can see my notifications but #weirded is not coming through.

    Not having tattoos is the new having tattoos. Only the real rebels don't have them :) #weirded

    #WeirdEd Before we get started why don't you introduce yourselves and let us know if your school year has started or how far out you are from kicking off
  • MissShuganah Aug 8 @ 10:04 PM EDT
    This alte kaker does not get the reference. #weirded

    Miss Shuganah aka Debbie. School year is roughly a month away. Day after Labor Day. Rahm tried to have us start in August and no one showed up. #weirded
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    It's on like Donkey Kong is just a nonsense phrase, used around anyone who has ever gamed. Luigi, also part of the Nintendo world, has, as of today, suffered a somewhat fatal setback. #WeirdEd

    #WeirdEd My tweetdeck column is having none of this tonight. What the hell
  • _SMasters Aug 8 @ 10:06 PM EDT
    #weirded no tatoos, have watched some of the original series on H&I via OTA (GREAT CHANNEL!). Love TNG, Voyager, DS9, and the reboot movie. Always tried to emulate the acceptance of the sci-fi shows. Also, agree about the infinite possibilities theme

    Trying hard to stay awake for #WeirdEd Volleyball has started and we have 1st teacher day Friday
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:07 PM EDT
    It is apparently Nintendo canon, as seen in a promo vid (the gif of which wouldn't load) that Luigi, Mario's brother, has apparently bought the farm. #WeirdEd

    #WeirdEd Chris from Brooklyn here. School hasn't started yet. And #Tweetdeck is acting up on me. May have to switch.
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:08 PM EDT
    This much? #WeirdEd (2nd try. different .gif)

    @jurassicalien left me in a mental processing state after his cliffhanger in #TalesFromTheLoop #Tabletop #RPG So, I'll try my best to keep up #WeirdEd Also Tweetdeck is being weird.
  • TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Aug 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd Right, well either we're really light tonight or twitter is being stupid because it knows we're not nazis or both. So let's get this show on the road.
  • MissShuganah Aug 8 @ 10:09 PM EDT
    Yikes! Now I get the reference. Thanks. #weirded

    Not just me, then. Home column shows all my posts, but #WeirdEd column is still stuck on 43 min ago.

    #WeirdEd Q1 Star Trek is a fandom that's under my skin. I do and think things that align with its philosophies without doing it on purpose. Is there a fandom for you like that, and if so what?
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd In NYC, we start up again after Labor Day, with students coming in the day after we do.
  • MissShuganah Aug 8 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    Me, too. I gave up. #weirded

    A1: If you're in education and you like Parks and Recreation, you're automatically my best friend. #WeirdEd
  • MsWelbergen Aug 8 @ 10:14 PM EDT
    A1. ditto with Star Trek (Next Gen), but also BTVS, and to a lesser extent, Firefly. #weirded

    #WeirdEd I'd like to try to have the logic of a Vulcan, the wisdom of Yoda and the spontaneity of a Time Lord. Logical and Brilliant it would be.
  • _SMasters Aug 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    #weirded A1: Star Trek: TNG, Babylon 5, Transformers (Autobot values) are the big ones I can think of right now. Try to do the right thing for the greater with every action.
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    Except when I'm driving to and from work. Then it's purely "Speed Racer". #WeirdEd
  • MissShuganah Aug 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    #weirded Tidbit: Leonard Nimoy once responded to me with his catch phrase , "{live long and prosper." One of my treasured Twitter moments.
  • TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Aug 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd Screw it, I can't get twitter to work at all tonight. Nothing is loading in Tweetdeck or the base twitter page. I'm calling the chat tonight. We'll try again next week
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    Do you aim to misbehave? #WeirdEd

    Awww.... It does mean I can rest earlier tonight though. Thanks, Mr. The Weird Teacher! #WeirdEd

    #WeirdEd I don't know what the issue is with the platform, but I'm not interested in banging my head against it tonight.
  • theMrMoulden Aug 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    A1 Doctor Who and Star Wars, but I don't discriminate any nerd/geek reference #WeirdEd

  • cjcrawcooper Aug 8 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    A1: I don’t know if I can call it a specific fandom. Maybe MASH? Laugh, be nice, break rules when you need to. #WeirdEd
  • shadow_uzumaki Aug 8 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd A1 Well, Uncle Ben's "With Great Power..." speech and Star Wars's determination against greater odds always ring true. There's also Gurren Lagann, 'cause sometimes, we just gotta Believe in the us that believe in ourselves and keep on going

    It took me way to long to figure out what #llap meant at the end of the first tweet of his I ever saw. #WeirdEd

  • johnwick Aug 8 @ 10:20 PM EDT
    A1 I have to say the wisdom of Captain Mal from Firefly tends to be one of my major fandom philosophies in the classroom. #WeirdEd

    #weirded thanks all who joined and participated. too bad tweet deck isn't working....i only use the basic interface :/ so it was working fine for me.... hopefully see folks next week (i might miss b/c beginnin days of school and all)
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:21 PM EDT
    Last time I refreshed the page, "Who to Follow" had 3 Star Trek accounts listed. This time it has 3 Star Wars. Maybe refresh again for Doctor Who? #weirded
  • MissShuganah Aug 8 @ 10:22 PM EDT
    #weirded A1 My impulse is to mention Barney Miller. Great sitcom. Also reflected humanity. Kindness. Compassion.
  • MissShuganah Aug 8 @ 10:22 PM EDT
    #weirded Kid O just had a seizure. She is OK now.
  • AwesomeSPED Aug 8 @ 10:23 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd A1 Does @Xtra_Mile artists count as a fandom?
  • mrburkemath Aug 8 @ 10:24 PM EDT
    I also occasionally have to work in a Liam Neeson reference, if someone casually mentions "Did anyone ever tell you, you look like --" #weirded

    Okay, I think I'm heading back to the DVR. Better A/C in that room anyway. It's been weird -- and not in most of the better ways, stinkin' tweetdeck #weirded
