Here's some lunchtime reading that I wrote as an example for my 10th graders:

Upon first contact with my dwarfed hand, the glistening bun softly crunches and gives way. The weight is unexpected yet well-balanced. I take a moment, anticipating the slightly seared beef seasoned with a blend of salt and pepper. The bacon retains its rigid form - crisp, a fine cut, waiting. Softened American cheese blankets the meatÃ,…meat resting on a bed of fresh tomato, lettuce and onion. I canÃ,’t hold back any longer. The flavor hits me before IÃ,’m even through the bun. The airy lightness contrasts with the blackened edges. I keep going. The juice of the tomato pools under my tongue while cheese and meat stick to the roof of my mouth. Everything tastes crisp and alive. As I chew, my eyelids slowly close and my head shakes back and forth in disbelief. A long exhale escapes from my nose. My eyes open and I see the medium rare inside of the meat begging for another bite. I continue to savor that first bite as my free hand instinctively reaches for three golden fries. The salad will have to wait.

That's a good idea. Here's a list of the quitters who have signed up so far - along with their contact page. Put your name next to an August 2011 member and send them a message of support. If you select a member to support, just add your name as if it were signing roll call.

I'm predicting a 70% overall HOF rate for the August 2011 quitters. Anyone want to help make this a reality?

What's a normal success percentage for a group?

Fuck normal. August 2011 will be extraordinary. You in?

of course. however, I am curious as to the average percentages over the life of this site.

PM an admin. I'm not interested in average.

sorry for asking. you threw out a number. I wasn't sure if it was low or high.

August won't be helped by passive aggressive dipshits. I think the word "extraordinary" cleared up the low vs high dilemma. Anyone else want to actively help August towards success?

100% success of those who are dedicated to succeeding is normal.

Everyone is an aberration.

Fact is, not everyone who comes here believes they can succeed. Some people come here predetermined to fail. They've failed numerous times in the past and are convinced that this is the norm. I want an army of quitters to convince these people that they can be successful quitters. I want them to believe in themselves before we have to track them down. I want to track them down if it comes to that. Most importantly, I want August 2011 to eventually do all of this without any outside assistance.

Not everyone is truly here to quit. Let's support those who are here to quit and help the people here to "try" or "attempt" see their potential.

And 24 of the 46 August 2008 members hit the hall. We were a very strong group, so I would consider 50% to be a high average for this site.

I'm in. Is there a method to your support plan? Like each of us grab a newb and follow his ass with a microsope to HOF? Not a problem with me, I'm doing it with a few other July newbs.
