My High School mascot was a Ram who was frequently “ramnapped”. We had squads of guys who protected him by moving him to various farms in the area between games. My family's farm was one of those hiding places.
Nate
This colleague went to a school that was first built to train Peace Corps volunteers on a hillside in Vermont. But they didn’t grow up to be the kind of anthropologist that goes to distant places
Daniel
Decoupage, the art of gluing colored paper cutouts onto an object, is this staffers form of communicating their creativity into a pair of old heels.

Chelsea
My elementary school had Pandas for a mascot after the National Zoo Pandas Ling-Ling and Hsing-Hsing who were pregnant.
Scott
This person studied at a school that was built on an old estate, so some classes were in a building that was originally built to be the stables. Reusing old facilities is a pretty good cost-saving measure.

This AAA staffer studied in Dublin, Ireland, where you can take a double-decker bus to class. You get a pretty good view from up there
Katie
Picasso has nothing on this staffers giraffe paintings
Katie
You have to analyze the true meaning of the saying “They can burn”, when this staffer attempted to make a coffee-walnut cake using a blender instead of a stand mixer.
Palmyra
Their dog is truly a member of this coworker’s family: when they leave her alone, she gargles like she’s trying to speak words.
Ashley
My high school boosted having oil derricks and a retractable floor in its gym over the swimming pool, but it is best known by its zip code.
