Tomorrow, September 19, is International Talk Like A #Pirate Day. Since I'm teaching a class in #rstats, I'm coming to class in full costume.

For data to play with, I'm looking at this:

Who called them "soup magnates" when "bouillonaires" was right there?

I'm not saying people get into dentistry for the money, but I saw a Jaguar with the license plate DR TOOF.

Overheard: "I stepped on a snail in my bare feet and that's why I have this problem."

Henceforth, the word "scissors" will be pronounced "skeezers".

#Rstats has a built in dataset of #StarWars characters, but it is conspicuously missing Elan Sleazebaggano.

The real challenge in documentation / education is organizing the knowledge that's out there. A lot of systems seem to be documented by the equivalent of a garbage bag full of index cards.

Odd that a watch is a traditional retirement gift when one of the benefits of retirement is that you no longer have to care what time it is.

How would you get documentation for a topic in #rstats? You might try a question mark, "help", or various abbreviations of "documentation" or "manual". The one you want, though, is ... "vignette".

I appreciate language play, but this is cutesy to the point of opacity.

Me: Who played the stormtrooper who says, "... and I'll drop my weapon"?

Student: You?

Question from one of the new Fire Arts students: "Do you feel intimidated when people holding weapons form a circle around you?"

Nah, I could take all of 'em.

When doing math in the Phantom Zone, Kryptonians have to use KNEEL BEFORE ZODular arithmetic.

Trying out the Arkham Horror card game. I'm going to go down into the cellar alone. What could possibly go wrong?
