MR. CROZE-ISMS
*Mr. Croze doing "The Doubler"* 
"Radius!" 
"RADIAN!" 
"Let's play Farmer in the Dell. Get the 'x' to stand alone!" 
"Zorro! He makes the sign of the Z!" "But Mr. Croze, Mr. Croze, pie are not squared, pie are round!"
"We had to say 'a cubed' because if I said 'a a a' guy walking down the hallway thought I was hailing him."
"So once upon a time there was this clown, his name was Mago. And all the little deviants up at Phelps would try to sneak out with their quarters during lunch time and go get some snacks at the gas station. Well, this was against the rules so Mago would go up there and he'd say, 'hey, tell me the sum and the difference of two numbers and if I can tell you what numbers your thinking of then you have to give me that quarter.' And by golly he'd get it right every time and take those quarters."
"Just do a Rueben."
"Once I had an exchange student from Japan, her name was SohCahToa. Her father had named her that so she would always be able to find the angles and side measures in a right triangle."
"On the board I can see, 'y=mx+b'. How divine that the equation of a line can be remembered so easily."

"Negative-ism"
"That's refrigeratable...for the trash!"
----------------------------------- MR. CROZE'S "QUOTE(S) OF THE DAY" 
"Be careful--that stuff is powerful for the eye."
"Do you remember this? Sohcahtoa's brother? Oh, he likes that cis, the Mexican."
"Mr. Croze, this board has a permanent scratch on it." ~Becky
"We'll put that on on the bottom when we send them back." ~Mr. Croze
"Just using this chart I could tell you that the cosin of 45 degrees is the square root of two over two. The sin of 45 degrees is the square root of two over two. Aren't you impressed, Ben?"

"Did you master every language of the world?" ~Steve
"Just the mathematical parts." ~Mr. Croze
"Am I a nice spiral drawer or not?"

"2 to the fifth power, Jason? 32. I knew that one, he didn't."
"Oh, I'm sure. I know these people and they know they better not cross me."
"Why don't you just take the 83PLUS and leave my poor advanced algebra class babeless?"
"What's wrong with your TI-92? Does it bite you?"
"That's what they're doing under my great eye."
"If you make that any smaller it's going to melt into the axis."
"Anneli, negative fifty. That's where I hang out."
"I'm sure he needed some cosin and tangent for that." ~Sarah
"Of course. You need mathematics to move anything." ~Mr. Croze
"Let's do some rose petal curves. For you who said I never gave you flowers on your birthday."
"So 6 gives us 12 and 3 gives us 3. What the heck is going on here?"
"Well, you're going to say, 'it stopped. Why?'"
"There we go! Once, twice, thrice!"
"It's a kind of a picture because your window's so large. Whoo-hoo! A line!"
"And they'll say, 'who marked up the wall?' And I'll say, 'I don't know, but I saw Jason over there.'"
1/7-"You've got to do a lot better than that to look better than me, Ben. Especially on a Monday. That's gonna cost you."
"BONUS! Repeat, Micheal! Repeat!"
"Oh, so you want your foot in it?"
"I'm tired so I'll just do the fourth power."
"So I showed you how to do this the long way. Here's the shortcut. Don't you like it?"

"I don't quite care for this coming in late business."
"Sara's only been in here a minute and she already has 116 bonuses." ~Mr. Croze
"I think that's because she's from Deer Lake." ~Steve
"No, it just happened." ~Mr. Croze
"I think I should get another bonus for correcting your mistake." ~Sara
"Ooooh, down a hundred bonuses." ~Mr. Croze

"Okay, got some negative points coming."
"I never talked square roots again after that."
"Wait a minute, we'll se if they SMOKED me."
"I think there's a rose petal for you ladies and a limacon for you...snails."
