Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 01, 2012
Transcript:
You're next, Nate. Thank you, crowd! Thank you! For my report, I was assigned the topic of...PAUL REVERE! He was born in Harvard, Nebraska on January 7th, 1938. When he was 20 years old, he and some friends started a band. At first, they called themselves the "Downbeats." But eventually they changed their name to "Paul Revere and the Raiders." On stage, for no apparent reason, they wore Revolutionary War costumes! Weird, right? Anyway, my favorite song of theirs is called "KICKS"! And it goes like this! *Ahem!* That oldies station you listen to all the time is killing my social studies grade.

Paul Revere and the Raiders was the name of a musical group several decades back and what Nate made his report on instead of the revolutionary war hero Paul Revere which his report should have been about.

Was it Paul Revere and the Raiders who came out with “Kicks” first or the Monkees?? Either version is good.
Happy New Year all!!

The other guy, ghostkeeper, was Dr. Samuel Prescott. The only one that actually completed the ride as planned. And he was not even supposed to be part of it.

Good one! Like the time Nate couldn’t give an oral report on the Lincoln-Douglas debates because, try as he did, he couldn’t locate a person named: Lincoln Douglas. And at the end of his “report” the class APPLAUDED!! (Godfrey said: CRIPES!! Haw! HAW!!)Ya hit this one outta the park, Lincoln !! Thanks!!

So do I. In fact it’s in the stack of LPs I’m uploading to my iPod. Too bad it’s Mono not stereo. Anyone remember Monophonic?

The oldies station is not killing your grade, your refusal to research is.
