wait, goole is from pella, iowa?!?

mh, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 22:14 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i grew up there, do you know the place?

goole, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 22:17 (thirteen years ago) link

I live in Des Moines, a good friend from high school followed his wife to college at Central, and they worked/lived at a motel there for a while.

There are some weirdo conservative things they ran into, like people scolding you for mowing your lawn on Sunday or post-dating checks written on Sunday so it would look like they weren't shopping on Jesus day.

A really nice coworker of mine is from Pella. He unironically has a Creation Museum shirt and coffee mug that I choose to ignore.

But I love dutch letters! Tulips are pretty cool.

Listen, mh, about the monks...

For one throb of the (Michael White), Wednesday, 25 May 2011 22:34 (thirteen years ago) link

Hah, there is contention whether the derivation of the city name has anything to do with monks.

Frenchies shortening/screwing up the name of a local Native American tribe is the most likely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moingona

Still trying to dig up high school photos.

I went to Lincoln High School. We were the "Railsplitters" due to Abraham Lincoln's widely known railroad days.

I was in orchestra, did a couple science fairs, and Academic Decathlon. I also had really long hair in a ponytail and kept to myself.

mh, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 23:03 (thirteen years ago) link

i was in acadec too!

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

― difficult listening hour, Wednesday, May 25, 2011 11:07 AM (3 hours ago) Bookmark

yeah each sport has a different name:

This has led to the current situation, where the basketball, swimming and diving, and tennis teams have retained the team name of "Rainbow Warriors;" the baseball team adopted the name "Rainbows;" and the football, golf, and volleyball teams have adopted the name "Warriors."

also hi DLH we dont interact much but i live in hawaii

The Arkansas Tech women's teams are the Golden Suns. They've got this nice vibrant logo and everything. For a team out of Russellville, Ark., it almost makes them sound exotic.

The men's teams, like the football team? THE WONDER BOYS.

Pleasant Plains, Thursday, 26 May 2011 00:48 (thirteen years ago) link

goole, did I know u were from Pella??? I don't know if I did! Never been there but as someone from the OTHER Dutch heartland, you have all my sympathies.

Academic Decathlon - never even heard of this! We didn't have it but it sounds like something I would have been into. Not only was I in orchestra but I also had a jacket like a letterman jacket, red with white leather sleeves, but instead of a sport it said ORCHESTRA on the back. Yeah. I was p cool.

oh Jesus, I was in orchestra, but never in my life would I have worn a letter jacket.

kate78, Thursday, 26 May 2011 01:36 (thirteen years ago) link

I know. But listen, I went to an all girls' Catholic HS. I had no clue what was cool and what wasn't until I made friends on the outside in jr and sr year by which point I'd def stopped wearing the damn thing. Oh it totally had my name on the front too.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Thursday, 26 May 2011 01:38 (thirteen years ago) link

It had a big-ass harp on the back too.

*hangs head in shame*

That 60's illustration on roxy's flyer is driving me crazy, I know I've seen it before. It looks very Beth and Joe Krush.

corey, judging from this photo and the ones on wdyll, you have aged perfectly.

mh, Thursday, 26 May 2011 02:57 (thirteen years ago) link

I'd agree if it weren't for the fact I'll probably be bald by 30 and completely grey by 35. Ah well.

That doesn't mean it's not still points perfectly stuck on a graph

My mother should probably have been arrested for abuse for dressing me like her clone. This pics kind of scares the crap out of me. I was a freshman in HS so 14. You can say I was a late bloomer. lol.
