Okay guys, class evaluations are coming up. I know you guys are not planning on doing these, so while you are sitting there doing nothing, imagine this: There is a big whit field of snow. The only thing that is peeking out from that snow and two eyes, the eyes of a baby seal. Each day you don't do your evaluations a little snow melts, and soon that baby seal will be exposed for all the hunters to find and club to death. So, every time you don't do that class evaluation, I want you to think of this. Dead. Baby. Seals.

At any mention Costner or his movies, this prof launches into the story of how when they were filming Field of Dreams his wife got a tiny role, and Kevin Costner made a pass at her during the 6 takes of filming that scene. He likes to add that when she came home her slovenly husband was sitting in his boxers drinking a beer watching a baseball game. And she went to their room and cried.
