Mr. Connelly is my super-awesome AP English teacher. Since his class plays out like an anime/manga, I decided to put up some funny quotes/events here. If I have missed any, please add it in the comments! Thanks!
9/1/04:
- “blah..blah…Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. You might say: “Ugh, that’s a chic book!” but it really isn’t!”
- Mr. Connelly: “What’s the only one thing you can live off of for the rest of your life?”
Quayle: “Ham.”
Mr. Connelly: “No! Hamlet! It has all the things you need like ____(forgot what he said).” - Mr. Connelly: “If you ever degrade another student in my class then….ha, haha, hahahaha..” *starts laughing manically*
Rest of class: ….*sweatdrop*

“I don’t appreciate it when my students speak disparagingly of my colleagues” or something like that…that line was actually kind of scary.
Connelly: I’m an English teacher!”
Mike: Maxwell?
Connelly: “Ah yes, Maxwell! \aside{I have no idea who Maxwell is.}”
…i forget…then…
“Mike, why don’t you tell me who Maxwell was?”
“He’s the physicist who unified electricity and magnetism into a single force.”
“Very interesting (or something)
Lolol. When I heard 19th century and great scientist who changed the face of science or something. The first person I thought of was Einstein, but he was a 20th century physicist, so I went to Einstein’s predecessor, Maxwell. I mean, Maxwell is just so famous! Darwin never even crossed my mind ^^;;;. I thought Mr. Connelly was making fun of me or something ^^;;.
Yeah, that line was scary ^^;. He can be a scary person sometimes.
“In Shakespeare’s production of Hamlet, Hamlet stared at the skull intensely as he pondered whether to kill his uncle (or something like that). In this case, Hamlet seems to be looking off at a tasty sandwich.”
I don’t really remember any Connelly quotes from last year… and you guys have covered everything from this year pretty well.
Well, I do remember a few, like “Bartleby the Scrivener will blow your mind.” But they aren’t particularly funny.
Oh, here’s a sort of funny one: “James the first wasn’t gay. He was SUPER gay.”
“Your manner is simple and unschooled!”
Mr. Connelly: “Never say Hamlet in a production. It’s bad luck.”
Brandon: “Why is that?”
Brandon: “Why is that?” (He had to repeat himself)
Mr. Connelly: “….because it is!” *ominously*
“[Romeo and Juliet] just want to sleep together… I could go out in the hallway and watch that!”
“I haven’t seen that version [of Hamlet]… it was a long long time ago, and I was on a date.”
