HOW TO GET THE NICKNAME "BATMAN"

PrintWe used to have a substitute teacher in high school whose name was Mr. Luhrs. Mr. Luhrs would write "sub:Luhrs" on the board, take his seat, and then calmly explain to the class that they were to sit in their chair, be quiet, and work on their assignments in the class through the class period. He also mentioned that he was unafraid of writing discipline reports if someone felt this was asking too much. Mr. subLuhrs, as we all called him, would then reach down to his hearing aid, turn it off, and hide snoozing behind a newspaper for the rest of the period. Once the newspaper rose in front of his face, the following things happened:
1. A dice game broke out in the back, usually overseen by some black guy named 'Trell.
2. Two rednecks immediately began brawling in the corner.
3. Five students left the school completely, never to be seen again.
4. Someone would make out with the big-haired, acid wash-wearing girl we all referred to as "Roll-A-Ho," whose real name we've long since forgotten.
No, Orson did not attend Nuke 'Em High.
With the usual authority gone, order evaporated at the first opportunity. This might be what's happening at Wisconsin, where the old silverback Alvarez's retirement has brought the more "dynamic" types out of the woodwork to challenge the new order of Bret Bielema. First Booker Stanley got the boot; now fullback P.J. Hill brandishes a bat in a dispute in a dorm. Bielema should suspend him for overkill, since the fullback on a team should be able to take anyone on the team on in a fight, much less a paperweight undergrad down the hall in the dorm.
Pending the details, Wisconsin makes a strong appearance in the race for the Fulmer Cup.

I like the stiffness of the poof up in front also.
You can hold on like a rodeo clown and she still can’t shake you until you finish.
That’s what we call an angry Pirate. arrrrrrr

If I’m not mistaken, the top right hand corner of the Nukem High poster shows the phrase “Readin, Writin’ and Radiation!”
In which case, it immediately earns Top 5 slogan status in my book.

Orson/Stranko:
I’d be more than willing to keep a spreadsheet for the Fulmer Cup (don’t tell my employer!). Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

What if your real name is Batman? This kid is the high school QB of a Notre Dame wide receiver commit. The highlight tape is hilarious. “Batman rolls right.” “Batman is flushed from the pocket.”

I don’t get it. It’s not like they come here for the nightlife. It’s frickin’ Wisconsin. Why are all the crazies flocking to the farmland all of the sudden?

it’s not really all of a sudden. that school has been ranked among the top party schools in the nation for some time now. i believe they are defending champions of the title. you can only imagine the debauchery that occurs there on an hourly basis.

Man, what’s with all the reprobate footballers at the hippie schools? Wisconsin’s been thugged out under-the-radar for some time, we all know about Colorado and you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a JUCO at Cal.

Who among us did not know a black guy named ’Trell in high school,holding impromptu freestyle ciphers in the bathroom about getting his dick sucked behind the lunch room?

Have you ever been to Madison? By city ordinance, there must be the following three things on every block west of the capital: one, a bicycle store; two, a restaurant that boasts serving the best sausage and cheese in Wisconsin; three, a brew pub or liquor store.
I worked with two coaches who did their undergrad degrees at Wisconsin. Although both were there at separate times (1940s and 1990s), they both told the essence of the same story: drink drink drink, blah blah blah, drink drink drink ,and then something stupid happened usually involving the snow that starts falling in October and ends in April.
Great town otherwise.
