Well, it looks like 9 is all we're going to get, so I'll start us off. There were three teachers I thought worthy of going number one overall, but when it came right down to it, one movie got me thinking about being a teacher in the first place, and that teacher HAD to be my number one pick. Ergo, I draft John Keating, English teacher from "Dead Poet's Society" with my number one pick. GringoTex, you're on the clock until 7:10 tomorrow morning.
So? We aren't ruining any REAL kid's lives with our fictional faculties. Between movies and literature, there are HUNDREDS of teachers to pick from. Pick all of Zach Morris' teachers if it behooves and amuses you. It's all about the fun.
And with the Second Pick of the Fictional Faculty Draft, GringoTex selects: Ms. Burke from Robert Rodriguez' The Faculty. Can't remember what she teaches, but who gives a fuck! Letourneau Highschool, baby- you'll be beating down the doors to get in!
My thoughts exactly. I'm trying to think of good picks off the top of my head, but they just aren't coming.
Not being on the eligible-to-draft list from the beginning and too late to grab slot ten, I hereby establish an ABA-style rebel league that will offer ridiculously high salaries to any of your picks I deem worthy. Still, I'm starting with this guy (we'll also be using the red, white and blue [soccer] ball): DR. J!
With the 5th pick of the 1st round TSO selects: Freddy Shoop the PE teacher who can teach the dumbest kids English, takes his students on field trips to Six Flags and the zoo and throws house parties for his students at his pad on the beach.
Oooops, I didn't realize I was up. I'll post at some point today, but right now I have to go to work.
With the 6th pick of the first round, I select... Sean Maguire from Good Will Hunting, played by Robin Williams.
Wow. I'm up. I didn't realize it. Sorry. I'm usually quite quick! Anyway, for my first pick, the seventh pick overall in the Fictional Faculty Draft... Team Iceblink selects........................... Mr. Hand from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He refused to take crap from Jeff Spicoli and earned respect from a screwup just by doing his job... well, a little extra.
Actually, I think he taught psychology at a community college. Matt Damon wasn't his student, however, but was seeing him more for psychoanalysis. Still, he was a teacher, and was "mentoring" Damon enough that I for one think it's acceptable.
Dang, I was hoping to get him. But since you did, I'll fall back on my backup...which I'm amazed no one has gotten so far. Undoubtedly the coolest faculty member around, much cooler than any archaeology professor in the world... Indiana Jones
