Why I Love Pearls Before Swine

Also inspired by the September 12th Education Week, wherein there's a picture of a Mr. Lloyd Thacker of the Education Conservancy wearing a jacket and tie, standing in a doorway, with the stem of his glasses tucked thoughtfully in his mouth, steel-eye gaze focused on you, the reader. You know, the kind of moment that never really happens.

And I'm not encouraging people to beat Mr. Thacker with a cucumber. I'm just saying that a good mug shot gets the point across equally well.
