I should have lettered in "botanical studies," but ah... All of the "research" was in combustibles and inhaled, and there wasn't much left of it, except for some resin and scrapings... :D

It's so gratifying to know that we all lettered in something, JB. I knew TNCR was a great place.

I was actually my school's chess champion. Getting expelled probably knocked some luster off of that.

What were your high school colors, R2? I had the misfortune of attending a school that thought orange and black was a good idea. Every school event, including graduation, looked like some sort of pagan pumpkin cult ritual. Ugly

Our letters worked differently. We had to have a combination of academics, arts, sports, and service. I made the sports section by "managing" the boys basketball teams. (Take that as you will. Heh.)

Oh shush - that I actually did legitimately! Student Council, organizing 30 Hour Famine, organizing the blood drive and can drive, serving as the Student Rep on a Community Council, etc etc.

It was only the sports category that was sketchy.

Well, you certainly put in a lot more service than I did. Community service was the best I ever did.

Yes, Jim's sister sent us four African statues, with exaggerated features and straw hair.

First of all, they are ugly as sin. Second, who would think that someone would care to dedicate space in their house and have to pick these up to dust underneath them. I have enough things that don't have a shelf or a drawer.

I wasn't going to say anything but later in the day he told me that we're going to take them to the Salvation Army. I was so relieved.

I lettered in track, indoor track, and band.
Where are those letter jackets?? Who knows.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

I could have lettered in wrestling. Unfortunately, I kept getting suspended for fighting. Now if they would have given out letters for brutal street fights, I might have made varsity! :lol2:

And yeah.... The last big fight I got into, I ended up with 30 hours of community service, plus having to attend an "anger management class." :rolleyes2: :rolleyes2: :dead:
