Didn’t he once claim to having been a teacher? ---

> [@madmonk28](#): > > Didn’t he once claim to having been a teacher? I remember he did once, but other times he was just the janitor. (ETA: that isn’t meant to denigrate janitors. I once was a janitor myself. But a janitor is NOT a teacher, even if you’re (or should I write your?) working for a school). ---

I think he actually claims he was a substitute teacher. He claims he lives in Kansas, and Kansas requires subs to have a college degree, though I’m not sure if that’s necessarily a four-year degree. IF he really was a sub (_big_ if), he wasn’t necessarily used much. Teachers tend to avoid subs who are complete imbeciles if at all possible. ---

I live in Kansas, and it is a 4-year degree requirement to be a sub. I don’t know the situation this strange year, but in recent years most of the larger school districts were begging for subs, and would take most anybody who signed up. ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > I live in Kansas, and it is a 4-year degree requirement to be a sub. There is no educational requirement to be able to print out a “diploma” on a cheap ink-jet printer. The only requirement is some minimal experience in forgery, misrepresentation, and lying, skills that he seems generally well acquainted with. Unless I’m confusing him with some other imbecile, I think he claimed he was a high school science teacher. There seems to be a major disconnect between the ability to teach science at any level and his demonstrated level of stupidity, lending credibility to the ink-jet printer diploma hypothesis. Also to the alternative “totally making it up” hypothesis. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > He started [this one](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ordered-to-quarantine-or-risk-arrest/925166) in The Quarantine Zone. Is that what you’re thinking of? I’m not sure what the point of that one was, but then, with Urbanredneck, one is never sure. Is he upset that if you have COVID, you should quarantine? Or maybe it’s the “…quarantine or face arrest” bit, which he helpfully included in the title. After the monumental effort of five seconds of Googling, I found that the penalty in Kansas for violating quarantine is a fine that ranges from $25 to a maximum of $100. But I’m surprised that Urbanredneck didn’t suggest that in Kansas, if you violate quarantine you are stood up against a wall and shot, since Kansas has a Democratic governor and therefore socialist oppression. Of course, in the spirit of the game show _Jeopardy!_, Urbanredneck would have posed that assertion in the form of a question, as he usually does. ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > He slept with his teacher. Problem is, he was being home-schooled at the time. Even more sadly, since they were starting him off slow, with just the basics (like “sit” and “stay”) he was being home-schooled at the time by the family’s Labrador Retriever. ---

He is far and away the most annoying and totally worthless poster here. He never says anything funny or interesting. NEVER. All he’s capable of is dropping very lame right-wing talking points in the form of aw-shucks village-simpleton questions, worded in a way that I have no doubt _is_ his actual internal monologue. I can’t recall him doing ANYTHING interesting or remotely relatable on a human level. He’s just an empty shell. ---

He is a moron AND full of shit…not a good combo. I don’t go into his threads because they are always filled with stupid shit like confusing “ticketed” with “arrested”. He JAQs off so much, his palms are completely hairy and he was the real life inspiration behind Mr. Magoo’s eye issues. ---

Their is no song equivalent in the north to “Dixie”. Which was so good the Union made a parody of it. Watch “[Dixie - Union Version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvjOG5gboFU)”. Nobody sings a song in the north glorifying what they did like in the song “[I’m a Good Ole Rebel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5EHpok66SU)”. Where is a song such as “I’m a good Ole Unionist”? Some others: I dare you to watch the video to this song “[The Irish Brigade](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ot7amDyqbY)” and not get just a little confederate sympathies. Or the song “[Johnny Reb](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZxMDZ3TdZM&list=PLRTYQ42fb3tCC6M7sn2BJAacp3XpeWwT7&index=5)” by Johnny Horton. Wat… And of course Apex Troll @Velocity started that thread.
