Two recent, intentional Green Day references in articles I've written, just for the lulz.
The first: When I explained what a supplemental contract is for a teacher, I used the phrase "one who oversees curriculum development for a specific subject, such as English, math or science," not realizing at first I put them in that order because of Sex, Drugs and Violence. Then I left it in there.
The second: I used the term "safety in numbers" to lead off a story about a kids safety fair that draws huge crowds downtown each year.
So yeah, I guess they were both Sex, Drugs and Violence references. Whatever. I'm probably the only one in Sandusky who understood them anyway.
