The 17 Bottles Of project began with Urs and Sig and a bunch of other people in 1999. Unfortunately, the original, in a blue spiral notebook, has vanished. It was a fun project, though, so we're starting over. Hopefully this one will be a bit harder to misplace.
2011 UPDATE: Word on the streets is that the J.Mo. has located the notebook and has it in her possession. We'd love to see it some day...

Jesus, I hate Faulkner. Does your student write in stream of consciousness? I would give him a big fat F. One of my students yesterday just made up words because they didn't study for the quiz...that was funny. He got a 0, but it was still funny.
No, but he does write long and convoluted sentences with about 20 clauses, all of which read something like "O, tis true I engaged in such boyhood follies, but only occasionally, and only...."
I'm with Erica on this one. I think you have to at the very least earn the right to be pretentious. At the freshman level it's a bit uncalled for. He's testing you.
Don't worry -- I know. He got "check minus" in every category when I evaluated the rough draft of his last paper. He skipped the next class after that, I suppose because his pride was so wounded. But...he came back (late for class, even) and stayed after during the next class period to talk about...creative writing workshops. It was odd.
