Homecoming Week/Hate Week
|
|
Next Friday, our high school football team plays its last game at our school. This is the "Homecoming Game". By unwritten law, the opposing team must lose 62-0 or something horrible like that. The entire week is "Homecoming Week". Our National Socialist-Jesuit uniforms (white buttoned shirt, navy pants, and the school tie, oh BTW they are all copies of the same garment, you can't come in with your own pants) are temporarily suspended. You can wear whatever, though themes are suggested. (and promptly broken.)
However, as in the book 1984 by George Orwell, it soon descends into a complete bashing of the other school, sort of like Hate Week. During the Pep Rally on Friday, the other school's mascot gets beat up.
Homecoming Week: Teaches your kid to be a good Commie. And remember, Big Brother is watching.
And then, the senior play. They conduct a play, which is humorous, usually portraying teachers, and the school in some sort of crisis as the enemy team sabotages something, which Our Mighty Wolverines rectify.
This would be good if not for the racism.
Our school, being based in Miami, is predominantly Hispanic, and I am no exception. However, last year, we played Crescent City High. The "villains" of the last play were four white kids in overalls acting very...how can I say this...hickish.
Erm...isn't that racism?
Am I a genius, crazy, or both like Plato?

The gun katas. Through analysis of thousands of recorded gunfights, the Cleric has determined that the geometric distribution of antagonists in any gun battle is a statistically predictable element. The gun kata treats the gun as a total weapon, each fluid position representing a maximum kill zone, inflicting maximum damage on the maximum number of opponents while keeping the defender clear of the statistically traditional trajectories of return fire. By the rote mastery of this art, your firing efficiency will rise by no less than 120%. The difference of a 63% increase to lethal proficiency makes the master of the gun katas an adversary not to be taken lightly.
