Man, remember when school was just going out and having your mom teach you which fruits and berries were edible and then in the higher grades which ones were fun?

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

We had all that poo poo in PA too. Things were just wilder back in the 80's/early 90's with what you could do in school. In third grade my art teacher let us do linoleum carvings under the stipulation that we not narc on him if we accidentally stabbed ourselves. A few of us naturally stabbed ourselves (me included) nobody snitched, and I made a dope-rear end bird print. He also let us use spray paint sometimes, which we got to pull straight out of boxes in the back of his rusty panel van. I ran into him like 20+ years later while working at an art supply store and he was still the dopest motherfucker in town. Shoutout to Mr. Siebert, you were a true king among men.

Overhead Projector is the only one I've had experience with, middle school through high school.

I think it's pretty school dependent, aside from overhead projectors because those were everywhere until, I dunno, 2003?

For most of the other stuff I remember clear cutoffs between them being common and absent, and upon reflection that's when I changed schools. They're all things that are most likely seen by kids born in the mid to late 80s.

This clip is from the TNG VHS boardgame but the actor also plays the Klingon character Gowron who's in a number of good episodes.
Here he is talking about the eyes

I can obviously infer that the guy is a shapechanger, but why does it break with the format and have Mystique change into him? Maybe I'm overthinking it and its just "hey what if two shapechangers".

And is he really only in a single episode? I've seen a lot of that character over the years.
