this tag from Judar reminds me of a high school French class story
duck bastard
so I am a small and tiny freshman who thinks French instead of Spanish is a totally legit language to learn that will definitely come in handy later
duck bastard
(note: i lived in Vegas at the time, where French sure wasn't going to be a common thing)
duck bastard
so beginner's french class
duck bastard
One day, we're separated into groups for a little group project: make different games that are also little French vocab lessons!
duck bastard
Everyone would test out their game in their group first, and then go around to try other people's games
duck bastard
What my group made was simple (they were all simple, because beginner's french, but still) and just Charades
duck bastard
you know, silently act out the thing until someone gets it
duck bastard
So we drew cards, acted the word out until someone spoke french
duck bastard
it went fine with the girl in the group. it went fine with me.
duck bastard
Then we got to the guy in our group
duck bastard
He struggles, not having much luck in getting his meaning across.... before he glances over to check where the teacher is.
duck bastard
and then, very carefully, reaches into his backpack
duck bastard
Pulls out a pen first
duck bastard
and then a lighter
duck bastard
and tries to set the pen on fire
duck bastard
> Girl: 
duck bastard
> James: 
duck bastard
turns out he'd drew the card for "to melt"
duck bastard
our teacher did not catch on that we'd almost set something on fire in her class
GAY SHEEP
lmao I'm glad to remind you of this, so we got this story
