When I looked at what temps often make on an hourly basis ($10-$15) I started thinking that's not going to be a good permanent solution for me. So it looks like I'll be applying for substitute teaching work with LA Unified, Burbank, and Glendale School Districts. Substitute teaching absolutely terrifies me. I know it shouldn't but it's less an exercise in teaching and more an exercise in classroom management. Something I've been traditionally "meh" at. But perhaps I'll just take a lesson from "The Substitute 2", and take down the teacher/student-run drug ring that operates in the basement of every urban high school with a Yo-Yo. That's right ladies and gentlemen, the protagonist in "The Substitute 2" inflicts bodily harm upon students and staff alike with a yo yo, an ancient Polynesian weapon.
"Weapon" legend
The yo-yo is sometimes cited as having originally been a weapon: according to one account the original yo-yo was "large with sharp edges and studs and attached to thick twenty-foot ropes for flinging at enemies or prey."[1] (this story is referenced in the film Octopussy, in which an Indian villain attempts to kill James Bond with such a weapon). No evidence exists to support this story, and some experts consider it physically unlikely since "once [the yo-yo] struck something, it would be nearly impossible to retract."[2][3]

I've been fluctuating between 85-181 visits per day, but today it's currently at 1,859. Man, that AOL is powerful.
Also, I cannot believe that you managed to reference "The Substitute 2."
