[Imagine Emil’s surprise when he checked the network and realized his favorite teacher - and by “favorite” I mean god damn annoying is 1) on the network 2) an undercover cop. Soon enough though, the surprise turned into pure devilish joy. He found some very interesting videos a while ago, and the only downside of “Mr. Locke’s” departure from school was that Emil missed the chance of sharing them. Well, now he has his chance, on the network no less! What a great turn of events.]

this week one of our members returned after losing his echoes
some of us only know him through the network. others know him through school or through the police force
but whether we know him as richard locke karl aurion or both there are many things about him we don’t know

for example not many people know that before his glorious career as a cop and his stint as a fake school teacher karl aurion tried something completely different - a short lived music career! i’m happy to tell you that i’ve managed to put my hands on some rare footage that i’m about to share with everyone

(consider this a welcome back gift mr aurion everyone should enjoy your angelic voice)

[There are a few videos embedded in the post. The first features a 15 year old Karl and band performing this song. Young Karl is wearing long 80s hair and pants so tight they look drawn on. If anyone has any doubts about his identity, the AURION on the back of his tasseled leather jacket should make it clear. It’s written in rhinestones and sparkles quite nicely. Karl is giving a very poor impression of David Lee Roth - he was clearly going for sexy, but mostly he looks drunk. The video ends when Karl trips over the mic cord.

The other videos are pretty much the same, with different songs. Sometimes instead of a jacket, Karl is wearing a terrible 80s t-shirt. Sometime he has a bandana. Sadly, his movements don’t grow more graceful.]

nice right??? shame he gave it up
there’s more here [A link to a youtube channel] but i collected the best ones here if you still wanna take a look i recommend the oldest ones

[Because the later videos are actually good.]

EDIT!! i've been informed by a trusted source that mr aurion still has the jacket: Keeps it carefully dusted and cleaned and everything. He counts all the rhinestones in that "AURION" every morning to make sure none of them have fallen off. Paid $580 for it to be costum made. The inside is lined with rainbow paisley.

that's precious isn't it??

[Thank you Danny.]

If this year is any indication, does it seem petty to worry about more mundane things? Or would one consider it a breath of fresh air, as it were?

To think, there are parts of the country where the school year is already over. Divine luck, it seems.

[Commiserate with him.]

Though, on the other hand, I wouldn't be in academia, with all that that entails, if I didn't like it.

In any case, whether you take my whining with a grain of salt or not, the poet was wrong. May is the cruelest month.
