If you celebrated Cinco de Mayo with some tacos, tequila or by wearing a sombrero, you're a racist insensitive oaf. At least according to an e-mail sent by some "Latino" organization at Northwestern to all students and signed by the anglo el presidentes of the group. Some students actually from Mexico don't agree.

Umm.... maybe they was going the Producers route with this play. Do something so bad that they would have to close it early.

They take Nazi stuff very seriously. As I understand it, it's illegal to own a copy of Leni's Triumph of the Will.

Speaking only for myself: I've heard enough about Joe Theismann's prostate to last a lifetime.

It sounds like PE has changed a real, real lot since I was in high school. We actually had physical "education" back then (you know, when the wheel was still being rounded and we used chisels on stone tablets to do our homework by firelight or the full moon). We had three-week rotations through various sports, individual and team, and they actually taught us the fundamentals.

Gymnastics was a real hoot, as on the last day of the three-week session we had an actual meet that was scored using real criteria. Most people were coming in like 1.6, 1.8, a few people got above 2.0 on an apparatus or two. that was HARD stuff.

I learned enough in our three-week session on wrestling that I actually made it to the semi-finals in college in the intramural wrestling tournament (of course the fact that I dropped three weight classes on the day of weigh-in by running around for an hour wearing sweats in a heated room probably helped too, as I was a good 12 - 15 pounds heavier than anyone else I met, including the guy who pinned me in about 30 seconds in the semis).

My high school track coach, who beat Jesse Owens in the low hurdles in a Big 10 conference meet (and had the film to prove it) used to tell the story about a knock down, drag out Golden Gloves boxing match with some dude. He lost a close decision, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. If he'd won, his next opponent would have been Joe Louis. Thank you, Lord.

Kids understand where they fit in. The smart ones. The good looking ones. The athletic ones. And they find their place. And it tells you more about this whiny babe than it does about dodge ball that all these years later she's using it as an excuse for the various disappointments in her life. Sort of like the "recovered memory" movement of a few years ago. Fat, unmarried, unhappy middle aged women had the perfect excuse for their sorry lives: although they didn't remember it, they had been sexually abused as children. Voila. It's not my fault I'm a loser.

And the ones who don't fit nicely into one of those categories? Where is their place in your mind?
