I googled to confirm, and apparently we got a less silly (but still a little silly) "college song" after I graduated. Huh.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Do y'all KNOW your college's alma mater? I know...the TUNE to mine, because I was in the pep band and we had to play it. But I don't think anyone but some few people in one of the choirs knows the words!
Please, when else do you get to say "swift Potomac's lovely daughter"? Of course, I probably only know it because I was in the bicentennial class and it was played all the time that year.

Actually, we usually sang it in our heads as "Hail to Georgetown alma mater/sacrifice your sons and daughters/pay us thirty thousand dollars/each and every year..." :) I'm sure the price has gone up since...
But when you have such a silly fight song ("it's been so long since last we met/lie down forever lie down"), who needs silly alma mater?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Are you sure that's the fight song? And not, say, the hookup song?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Bennington had no alma mater, or fight song for that matter, or school colors or sports teams. We did have a gamelon orchestra with handmade instruments and a contact improv dance troupe, though. We put the artsy in artsy-fartsy.

TJ's indian masala burgers are delicious but not at all like a burger- more of a delightfully junky spiced patty.
Yay! I bought these, as well as the Morningstar tomato and basil pizza burgers and the Morningstar breakfast sausage patty as well.
Oh, and here's my college fight song lyrics--talk about inane:
Ring out, Ahoya, with an MU rah-rah
MU rah-rah
MU rah-rah-rah-rah-rah
Ring out, Ahoya, with an MU rah-rah
MU rah-rah for old Marquette!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ha, I can sing out my alma mater's song and the drinking song.
The first of Kenyon's goodly race
Was that good man, Philander Chase
He climbed a hill and said a prayer
And founded Kenyon College there.
Then...
Come, classmates fill your glasses
Fill them with sparkling wine
And we will drink a toast to
The Class of '99
Classmates, come gather round
With ties of friendship bound
Shout out in u-ni-son!
Ninety Nine and Old Ken-yon!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Can someone get a copy of CSI and edit some scenes to super slo-mo? I need to send it to bon.
I note that no one has volunteered, you lunatic.
