Driving through a small town in West Texas last week, I noticed a high
school with a banner saying "Blurt High--Home of the Gorillas". First came
the rhetorical question, "Wonder what the cheerleaders' moves look like?".
Second came the thought, "What do they call the girls' teams? Lady Gorillas?
Gorillettes? Gorills?"
It was all over in a minute.

Ah, yes. A long, long time ago, I can recall a very strait-laced cousin
from Newport News blushing her way through that cheer.

Gorilla my dreams?
While at the mall in Dothan Alabama, I saw a group
of cheerleaders, in their cheeleader outfits. Acrossed
the front "Headland".
The Norfolk Virginia cheer
Cheerleader(s): We don't smoke
crowd: WE DON'T SMOKE!
Cheerleader(s): We don't drink
crowd: WE DON'T DRINK!
Cheerleader(s): Norfolk! Norfolk! YEAH!
crowd: g r o a n of disappointment

Very much, Chuck, tenjewberrymud. We were concerned about what those Texas
winds would do to the awning on our camper, but solved that early by having
it blown off in Illinois. Big Bend park was great, but then we made a
mistake by reserving at a resort just north of the park. (resort, hell-it
was an old ranch with wide spots in the road for campers) Then we recovered
nicely in the Davis Mountains. We'll be back

Now I think I understand why the Texas Legistature (for real) has introduced
a bill to make "suggestive cheerleader routines" illegal.

It's a good thing you didn't drive through Hutto. Their mascot is
the Hippo.
And then there's Pflugerville. Their mascot is the Pfanther. (Just
kidding.)
So did you enjoy the Big Bend?

Went to college at Oregon State University. Lots of lame jokes when we
played Univeristy of Southern California.

Hey! Ours too! Didn't it just piss you off when the opposing team and
their fans would goad you and yours by donning the hard hats with the
Fuller brush tacked on top? No matter how hard our guy in the giant
condom tried tickling the crowd, once the Fuller brushes made their
appearance all bets were off. The heated intercourse that ensued did
give one a pleasant afterglow on the way home though.

My favorite of all times I saw about 25 years ago. I was driving
through a town named Beaver Creek. Their HS football team was the
"Beavers." (I always wondered what they called their girl's teams)
They were scheduled to play the team from Cocke County, who were,
curiously enough, named the "Fighting Cocks." I passed by the local
bank which had one of those rolling marquees which read, "Friday Night,
watch our Beavers take on the Fighting Cocks." I still laugh out loud
when I think of it.

I like U.C--Santa Barbara (IIRC): the Banana Slugs.
