Butte High School

“Home of the Pirates”


Do they actually call themselves the Butte Pirates? That’s got to lead to some awkward moments during school cheers.









I know, I know, I should be working. But I had this juvenile urge to
see if Wikipedia had a butt
pirate
article. You’ve got to hand it to Lucene’s stemming algorithm:

Low point


At some point on Saturday night, someone asked me where I was in my graduate studies. I told them:

If grad school were the digestive system, I would be in the
duodenum.


What’s worse is that I don’t remember who received this tidbit, or,
for that matter, whether it was Carlos’s or Zak’s party where I met
them. I suspect the former, but can’t be certain. This isn’t due to
alcohol, by the way — I think it’s some sort of memory loss. Maybe
from ingesting too much Teflon from nonstick cooking pans. (I used to
use a metal spatula.)



What’s worse still is that “the duodenum” may be a bit optimistic.
