Something Smells Fishy

By Neal McCluskey

I don't know if a sushi robot is really a necessity for the Los Angeles Unified School District. I strongly suspect it isn't, but I don't know enough about the state of modern chef-ing to say for sure that it isn't a must for culinary arts instruction. Even if it is, though, this story stinks of bureaucratic incompetence. If truly necessary, you'd think some sushi teacher somewhere would be screaming "where in California is my CAL Roll 9000!?"

On the other hand, if no one noticed that the LAUSD Jawas failed to drop off their Roll2-D2, why the heck was it ordered in the first place?

Something just doesn't smell right here.
