Some talented writing skills I think

I dunno if many of you've heard of this guy, Peter Nguyen. These essays are supposedly submitted to the teacher, who thought they were so outrageous he posted them on the internet. If that's the case I hope his teachers have spotted the kid's actually got a great way with words.

He's good!
-------------------- "She quickly stood up & looked down, the door on her shoe had gotten larger. Her shoelaces then quickly took hold of her hands, which caused her to sneeze. She spit on the puddle of liquid rice to her left, hoping it would release the toads from their chains. It did nothing. Desperately she bit into her arm-chair, hoping, praying the bird will hear her call. "Get the lock!" Sponny yelled. But was too late. The door had opened. She quickly grabbed her shoe & threw it, spilling & exposing the contents inside & relaseing those things."

nawp but close. It's more like Nu-gee-yen don't ask me why but that's just how those Vietnamese work.
I know a Nguyen. She's a bit of a succubus but she likes to get naked a lot so whatev.

I have a Vietnamese friend and i thought i remember him telling me that Nguyen is pronounced "new - yen"
I could be wrong though....But his mom makes some damn good food, and his house always smells good

That's what I initially thought but upon about 2 minutes of research it looks like there are several pronunciations for it. I didn't read all that though. Too long.

I know. I'm gonna be a teacher next year. Physics and Chemistry though. I think I'll be dishing out some essays in the hope I get something like this some day. It'd almost make teaching English worth it.
