My new friend, Pancho Villa.
Today, I’d like to tell you about the battle of Pancho Villa. Not the one you would normally think of, though. This has nothing to do with Mexico, or Zapata. This is about the kid you see standing above in the picture.
As I was walking to 6th period yesterday, I see, in the sea of kids in front of me, an obscenely large sombrero bobbing and weaving in and out of kids. Naturally, my “WTF” instinct kicked in, and I followed the kid to get a better look at him. Here’s the spy shot i caught:
Pancho Villa spy shot.
For all intensive purposes, seeing as I don’t know his real name, we will call him Pancho Villa from here forward.
The story goes as this: Apparently, Pancho Villa had a Spanish project he had to present today, and his teacher told him if he dressed up for the presentation, that bonus points would be rewarded. This apparently piqued Pancho’s interest enough to make him want to go out, find a ridiculously large sombrero, and a mexican poncho, and don his ridiculous ensemble to school, all day. The best part, however, is that apparently his partner had already presented for both of them earlier in the week, while he was sick, therefore rendering Pancho’s entire outfit completely unnecessary, yet still absolutely hilarious.
So I want to say, thanks for the laughs Pancho Villa. You made my Friday just THAT much funnier.
School
As anybody who’s ever lived in Texas knows, football games are the single biggest event of the week for 95% of high school students. It’s the one time when it doesn’t matter who you know, or who you hang out with, everyone comes together and has a good time. It doesn’t matter if we win, or we lose, because chances are we had just as much fun either way.
In the 1st Half. When we were winning.
This past Friday, we had our biggest game of the season thus far- the Westlake-Bowie game. The once-undefeated Westlake Chaps had been 0-3 so far this season, so everyone was in high hopes that we’d win the game. People came out early, we tailgated, you know, the whole nine yards. It was your typical Friday night football blowout. Except for the part where we lost. 49-35. Yeah. They hadn’t won a single game this season. And we lost to them. We should just give up now, yeah ?
But never mind the football game now. It’s time to talk about something a little more interesting. Whataburger. For some reason, someone decided a few years ago that Whataburger would become the designated hang-out for kids after football games. This descision is one of the stupider i’ve come across, seeing as the cumulative capacity of the restaurant is 89 people. We easily surpassed that, when half of the Junior and Senior classes all crammed into the tiny booths. It was pandemonium. Or something like it. But on the way home, I came across the most ridiculous song. Ever. The Salmon Dance.
