Who is going to welt the whelps??

Fellow Alums,

The time has come. Homecoming is just around the corner so let's get organized for the Alumni vs. Students Football Game. We must unite to put the whelps back in their place! Are you with me??!!!!

If you are planning on being at Homecoming and are interested in playing in the football game, please send a quick email to [redacted] so I can start coordinating with Student Life regarding the details of the game and so we can coordinate amongst ourselves to assure victory by the old(er) guys.

Semper Defeati Studentuses, ; )

C-

No, I don't miss Latin.

Actually, I (The Heart) made up the titular alliteration (Is it also an assonance, due to the Es, and is it a true alliteration since W and Wh are actually different sounds we just don't really recognize them in English like they do in other languages, say for example, Arabic, which I am starting tonight after taking the summer off to rot my brain, not The Brain, who is very wonderful, to have fun, and I could also note that the appearance of "amongst" in the missive prompted me to research the supposed controversy in usage as propounded by The Brain, Ceil will be happy to note that I looked in both the OED and Bartleby, which are reputable sources, but nothing conclusive could be ascertained except that due to euphony "among" is more common in the States, and I do know this is a run-on sentence, more like paragraph, and if not then what is it ?) for this post.

No, I do not miss Latin either.

To C and his Es, I cannot wait to see ya'll. Go Old Guys!!!

Because lunch for the Black Dragon is just like that sometimes....

The following was conducted by email, more than a year ago. While I was cleaning out old messages I found it. The Black Dragon, The D5 Coaching Lady, and I very much enjoyed the exchange.

Invitation ~ The Black Dragon

Ladies.

Insomuch as it is desirable to beat the horde....
And in consideration of the lunch hour almost upon us...
And upon the further urgings of my stomach.
I do hereby propose we convene at 11:30 to feast right heartily.

Humbly, (and hungrily)

The Lady Counselor of Admissions
