« Nimrod Pride »

For those of you with testicles, you have seen the ESPN "Without Sports..." commercials. One of them features a small Michigan upper peninsula high school - Watersmeet Township High. Why? Their mascot is the Nimrods.

"WITHOUT SPORTS, WHO WOULD CHEER FOR THE NIMRODS?"

This is similar to our old high school rival, St. Francis DeSales High, who is affectionately and informally known as the "Fagrods." Well, to be truthful, it's something St. John's came up with and keeps to themselves.

Nimrod really means "hunter," and somewhere down the line, "nimrod" got in bad company with the words "nerd," "dweeb" and "spazoid."

The Nimrods may be the country's current favorite high school mascot, but when it comes to college, nobody tops Scottsdale Community College in Arizona. Their mascot?

The Fighting Artichokes.

People didn't believe me, but I finally found proof.

CHEAP AND TASTELESS (BUT HILARIOUS) "THE LITTLEST GROOM" JOKE OF THE DAY" This picture probably gives away the punchline, but this is the first time a driver has been used to play.... miniature golf.
