of poets and pirates

The other day I was talking about high schools having tough names for their sports teams. The Lilac Lassies turned out to be fairies. Well, tough representatives of fairies, at least.

Luckily, I found some more fun high school team names to tell you about!

Johnson High School has the Atom Smashers! How cool is that? Do you know how hard it is to smash an atom? It's hard. I tried to do it with a hammer the other day, but it wouldn't smash. So I ate a pistachio instead.

Williamsport, Pennsylvania has the Millionaires. While they might not SOUND scary, they can hire people to scare you. With all their monies. Or they could convert their millions into quarter rolls and throw those at you. Those things hurt like the dickens.

What is the "dickens," anyway? Should a team be called The Dickens?

While not "The Dickens," Sidney Lanier High is also literary. They are THE POETS! That's write! The Poets! They'll quill you into submission! The pen is mightier than the sword. When it's a laser-pen! Or a poison-tipped pen-sword!

I hear their cheerleaders write great cheers, but only English Majors get the insults to the other team.

I'm off to brush up on my Frost insults.

Enjoy Everything.

the fighting fairies

I was driving around New Hampshire this weekend and came across West Canaan. I didn't actually stop there, but the town seemed pretty cool. Then I saw their sports team. The Lilac Lassies.

What does that mean?! That doesn't sound mean at all! I thought team names were supposed to be tough! Or at least have some sort of animal that can attack in SOME way.

WELL! Lilac Lassie is a pattern for a fairy. I guess there are different types of fairies. And they all have different designs. Lilac Lassie is one of them.

Fairies are pretty awesome, but they are usually sweet and don't attack people.

Unless you're a Lilac Lassie from West Canaan! Those fairies know how to BRING IT!

I wouldn't mess with them. They actually picked my car up while I was driving through West Canaan. And not with magic, either. They only used their crazy muscles to do it. It was awesome!

So next time you have to play against a team of fairies, watch out! They'll probably take you down AND make fun of you. They are RUTHLESS.

They also carry large bludgeoning tools. So...yeah...they'll knock you out.

I'm off to find a fairy.

Enjoy Everything.
