Struck by Lightning Page #3

- No!

I don't want any fatties on

the back to school night page!

I don't want to expose

my grandchildren to a bunch of

obese sophomores...

by body is sacred.

The celibacy club.

It's time that we're treated

like the treasures that we are.

And, five, six, seven, eight!

There was the drama club.

Always written, directed,

and produced by scott thomas.

Okay. I've been

giving this a lot of thought.

Meryl streep as mama rose.

- Thoughts? Thoughts?

- Yeah, it's done.

Hugs. Hugs.

[Sighs]

And then the athletes.

Boys,

can you freeze fire?

Hot stuff,

can you freeze fire?

Yes.

Well, um...

have you seen the movie

the last airbender?

No. I sleep with girls.

Oh. Um,

well, you know...

in certain dimensions,

yes.

You just

completely blew my mind.

Can i get a close-up

of your bicep?

And of course,

worse than detention,

the writers' club.

Hi, malerie.

I wrote another

short story for the chronicle.

Great.

Let's hear it.

It's um...

this one,

i think you're gonna like it.

It's probably my best one.

[Sighs]

Call me ishmael.

Some years ago,

never mind

how long precisely...

malerie.

Did you really write this?

No.

You saw right through me.

[Sighs heavily]

I'm a complete disappointment.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

I mean, writing takes time.

Your own words would help, too.

But i can't think of

any ideas myself.

Like,

i have no imagination.

All god blessed me with

was this flawless complexion

and really good

table tennis skills.

I'm like, asian good.

How do you do it?

I...

uh, well, i don't...

don't try to find the ideas.

Let the ideas find you.

It's one of the most

amazing experiences.

You know, finding something

to write about or uh...

realizing something

for the first time.

It comes out of nowhere

and then it just hits you

and it's all

you can think about

and it goes through your body,

and it tries to escape and, and

be expressed

in any way possible.

I mean, it's uh...

- it's a lot like um...

- lightning.

Yeah, yeah.

Exactly.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

Well, don't worry.

You'll find something

to write about soon.

[Intercom] attention

student council members.

There's a meeting

in the activities office.

They only have these meetings

when they think i've gone home.

The joke's on them.

I never go home.

Yeah, either do i.

'Cause home is overrated.

So is m&m's world.

Seriously.

I often fantasized

about various torture methods

i would rather

have been experiencing

than sitting in a

- student council meeting.

- And i'm happy to report

that there will be

enough trailers and trucks

for all the clubs

to have floats

at homecoming.

It was run

by our student body president
