High School Flashback

I came across a picture this morning that caused me to have a flashback to high school days.
The picture was taken of a man that is protesting something that does not include bad taste, a low carb diet, or improper grooming techniques, but does seem to be protesting correct spelling (it is spelled M-O-R-O-N). ANYWAY, this takes me back to high school because I used to have this crotchety old volleyball coach as a health teacher. Of course, being the kiss ass that I was in high school, she was not crotchety to me, and I liked her just fine. Her favorite phrase (when a student said or did something stupid, or when the class was collectively bad) was "Get a brain". She would always say this phrase. I also had a friend in high school whose name was Elese Moran before she got married a few years ago. Elese was extremely ditzy in high school, and she owned it. I distinctly remember a group of us walking through the hall one day and Elese did something that was classic Elese (it escapes me now), and Coach Nelius was witness to it. Of course Coach's response was "Get a Brain Moran". We all had a good laugh at Elese's expense, and she took offense for about 10 seconds and then started laughing too. It is a good memory. That is the reason I lost my shit when I saw this man and his poster. Of course, the only people that can appreciate this are my former high school classmates, none, of which read this blog (except or a few of them and I know who they are...yay Rooni). Below is a picture of my friend Valerie and me with Elese at her wedding. God Bless!
