Okay, here's Sc0lr Boi. Note: I changed parts of the song around (new lines in italics). Even though I'm not a tomboyish rocker from Napanee, Ontario, for this post it's still her narrative.

Me too. She's the puppeteer responsible for holding Missouri's public school's hostage and putting conceal-n-carry and other crap before the budget. This year, Pete Kinder's the big jerk, with Ken Jacob not far behind. (You might beg to differ about the SMS bill, which in mind was a wasted week of d...

Not sure. I thought I'd nominate some young blood, but as long as the coach selected is involved with their team (as opposed to the possibly collapsed program at BSS) I'm happy.

Liberty's Unnoficial Rule #1 is "No Singing." They started that with just me, then when half the team was involved in choir, it now applies to the whole team.

FYI, Rule #2 is "No Scholar Bowl Romances," but it always is broken.
