Cut to today: A student comes up to track practice with his blue shirt unbuttoned, white shirt showing underneath and moving in this odd and spastic way.
I move quickly, "Hey [student], this isn't 'Weekend at Bernie's' so fix the body and button up!"
Come on! "Weekend at Bernie's!" That brilliant film about the two dudes whose boss dies and they make it look like he was alive and wa wa wa.... Who quotes that these days besides Jonathan Silverman???? (snaps if you remember him)

He didn't get the joke and I was pissed....but also very smug because damn- that was clever.
Right?
Netflix!
You probably should have shown it in class. I mean come on, our students would thoroughly enjoy Bernie's reaction to music. Ass bumps to the beat first, he rises, etc.
