The Bainbridge Island high school seniors were busy painting the roads with celebratory “Spartans” and “2009″ graffiti this past week. Most were pretty benign, but this giant cock-n-balls showed up at my intersection, complete with “SPARTANS” down the shaft, what appears to be pubic hair, and a rather detailed ejaculation (off-camera). At first I was offended. Ha ha ha, OK no I wasn’t. I’m still laughing about it because apparently, as Sarah frequently reminds me, I am 12. But what does she know?
I have it on authority that the BI Spartans lacrosse team may be the driving force behind the expressive cock-n-ballses and the road graffiti barrage. The story goes that some of these rascally lacrossers even have cock-n-ballses shaved into their haircuts. They are pretty good I hear, having gone to state tournament something something, so I suppose they are entitled to their genitalia symbols.

Yeah, it’s pretty ‘pumped up’ to be graduating I guess…

Speaking of high school graduation, I just came home from a weekend in ‘Natchee for WHS graduation ’09. My nephew was graduating this year.
It was so odd to realize that it’s been 17 years since being there myself. The biggest difference is that the ceremony was held at the Apple Bowl, so no blazing hot packed-to-the-gills auditorium.
I can’t remember which faculty member spoke at ours, but Mr. Benner spoke on Friday night. I can’t say it was very impressive. I guess if he had been one of my teachers or if I was 18 maybe I would feel otherwise.
One of the acts was a band made up of 5 of the graduating seniors that played Europe’s “Final Countdown”. It was horrendous. It was kind of a bummer because overall the ceremony was nice and subdued, and they were such a joke it threatened to turn the whole thing into some sort of comedy act.
Overall I’d give it a 6/10.
8/10 for nostalgia’s sake.
And for the kicker, it’s a hoot to see Kory Kalahar standing up on the podium as the assistant principal, congratulating the little hoodlums for making it through 4 years at WHS. I think I’m gonna go to the 20 year just to get him to smoke some pot and record it for his students

Kalahar is the assistant principal now? That is really, really making me feel old. Holy key-ryst.
