  <description>Did you ever have a ready-to-retire teacher who was pretty much done with the bullshit? In this episode, I tell four quick, funny stories about some weird assignments I was given during seventh and eighth-grade religion class, my equally odd responses to them, and whether they were due to a poorly conceived curriculum, or just because the teacher was wrapping up her career.

  <description>When is something an homage to source material, and when is it plagiarism? I explore this line, plus fan fiction, junk drawers and the time I came this close to winning a contest.
