Mascot contest! (or something of the sort, ish)
Since the mascot commentary has proved to be at least amusing, I thought I'd start up a nomination contest for who thinks they have (or can name) the dumbest high school mascot...
Where I come from (in my country...lol), we have a lot of interesting mascots. Animals, random shit, and lots of Knights! Red Knights, Green Knights, Black Knights, Purple Knights (okay, I may have lied about the last two...)...my alma mater was the Greyhounds. Yes, the very threatening racing dogs...well, then again we were more noted for cross country and track than for any notable sport, ie, football (uh, eight-year losing streak, what? won two games during all four years that I was there?? yeah...), basketball...
However, despite the fact that I think the Greyhound is a silly mascot, I am not going to put it up for the silliest/dumbest high school mascot contest (and no, school pride has nothing to do with it)...
Instead, I nominate our neighboring high school (and rivallllllllllllllllllllll): Whitefish Bay. And their stupid Blue Duke. What is a Blue Duke???

Anyway. I have no homework anymore!!! I turned in the worst paper I've ever written today (I know, I know, I say that every time, but this time it's true! Seriously. There is no clarity. There is no point. It's kind of pointless. And no, Professor Blake, I don't want that paper back...)...and I had to put it in Courier New to make the 6-8 page mark (that's the first - and only - time I've ever done that).
And while I was turning in said terrible paper, I went to pick up my sem....
*taps fingers nervously*
She was nice enough to put them all in manila envelopes for us, but I was expecting a written out comment sheet so I completely overlooked the actual grade sheet (it was typed out and on top of everything else)...saw my critique of another paper (a thoughtful, clear critique - huh??? and I got an A on that...yeah, uh, right, I didn't even READ the other paper...sorry), and then the actual sem, which had no grade at all. So then, I finally think to look on the grade sheet and saw my grade...and then almost fell down the East Hall stairs in the process.
A-
A-fucking-minus! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????
I was totally expecting a B, B+ at the best...
WOW!
Yay me!!
So now, speaking of silly mascots, I'm going to a TimberRattlers game now!!
