lol high school

nah you guys are right! those are the steam vents on kilauea.

brian is half-fijian. i just have alarming hair.

I KNEW IT I WAS EVEN GOING TO SAY IT LOOKED LIKE THE BIG ISLAND BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO EMBARRASS MYSELF

nothing says the big island like a hole in the ground

nah much love for my island

where did you grow up? i lived in hilo for a couple months after high school

i bounced between the big island and oahu when i was a little kid, but eighth grade to graduation i was in hilo, so hilo.

go inappropriately nordic viks!

that is cool that you lived there! for such a remote place a lot of people seem to have spent a little time there.

yeah i sorta knew a couple kids at college who had grown up there. its a cool place!! i watched a lot of movies at the cheap theater. and smoked a lot of pot.

hilo!

only other things on the checklist really are 1) get dangerously drunk at boiling pots and 2) drive to kona, turn around

i tried hitching to kona once but i got stuff thrown at me so i turned around

so hard, being white

i have read that anti-white bias is a problem

it's not really a problem. it's just a noticeable thing from time to time.

it's really more a class thing cuz the japanese kids get it too.

oh i wasn't even talking about hawaii! i was just referring to that times article max linked to in another thread.

oh whoops! i get asked about this by a surprisingly large number of (white) people, and it's weird because haole-resentment is a thing, just like you'd expect it to be in an imperial colony with a mostly-native underclass, but it's not really a serious thing and a lot of people on the west coast ask me about it in hushed commiserating tones like they think people are being lynched and it always weirds me out/makes me uncomfortable and then i feel guilty for making whatever jokes i made about it.

(your post would not have been one of these even if it had been real though)

yeah, when you posted i figured you must have gotten that kind of question before. i know very little about hawaii tbh.

hawaiian sociopolitics are way more interesting than i thought they were when i lived there but that'd probably be true no matter where i was a bored teenager.

your HS's shameless theft of NFL intellectual property is inspiring to me

i never liked being a viking and then i went to college at portland state where i was STILL A VIKING

everywhere, that's where i'm a viking

vikings are sort of a creepy mascot; sorry minnesota

at least it makes some sense up here!

youve never heard of the infamous viking raids of hawaii i guess

Hahah the Whitehall Vikings had the exact same mascot/logo but in West Michigan. Is there only one set of HS logos in the WORLD, like one wildcat, one anchor, one viking, one...whatever. I know that it's the same everywhere, I KNOW it, and yet whenever I see that damn viking, I get a little shock of recognition.

youve never heard of the infamous viking raids of hawaii i guess

source of much of the anti-white bias

was thor heyerdahl a viking in some sense

xp anchor?

I mean at least Reeths-Puffer got to be the ROCKETS:

follow up: did thor heyerdahl go to hawaii ever

Oh sorry, I confused Montague's mascot (a wildcat) with their fight song ("Anchor's Aweigh"). I guess no one is The Anchors lollllll.

haha my high school football team really should have been called the anchors

there was a rural HS near me built near a freeway called, sadly, "I-35 High School". their mascot is the Roadrunners. it's even in a town, technically!

just as long as they use jonathan richman as their fight song.

i don't know for sure but i kind of doubt it

omg I-35 high school. those poor kids.

the university of hawaii teams used to be called THE RAINBOW WARRIORS and sort of still are, but they replaced the rainbow with a stylized H ft. hawaiian iconography and allowed each sport to choose their own name and there was this huge complicated fight over it between 1) the university, 2) hawaiian activists opposing the use of the iconography and 3) football players who had been complaining for years about being called the rainbow warriors

i went to a quaker school and our mascot was a quaker

i went to a quaker school and we didnt have a mascot because we didnt have team sports because we didnt believe in competition

a quaker is not a v compelling mascot for competitive contact sports, i mean

xps feeling your oats then were you

that was in middle school though. in high school i went to public school and we were the tigers, because we were in princeton.

terrible

xp

I went to school in a town named after a particular animal, and the school's mascot was... that very same animal.

ok this doesn't actually have the img of my HS's logo but

mascotdb.com??

well when I played hs football there was a push to change the team name to the "earthquakers" so

this is way butcher than it was when i was in school

haha "little dutch"

it sounds like a mob nickname
