"Go Greek"--Headline of the Year |
|
Fayetteville has a good-size Greek community and, every year, the Greek Orthodox Church has a "Greek Festival" as one of their two fundraisers. (Their other fundraiser is "The World's Biggest Spaghetti Dinner.") Over the years it's grown into Fayetteville's major civic festival--more people go to it than to the Dogwood Festival.
Anyway, it was this past weekend. The paper had this huge writeup on it in the Friday "Weekender" pull-out, where it was the cover story.
The headline was "Go Greek."
Please tell me they didn't know what that means...

6. I've heard about you fraternity boys... |

Oh my...I've got to tell you this little customer tail....
This was about two days before Fayetteville State University opened for the fall term. This very large man dressed in a FSU Broncos t-shirt visited my department and asked if I could "shape" a 2x12.
"Shape?"
Yes, shape. He had this 8-foot 2x12 sitting there, and he'd drawn on it a very rough outline of what appeared to be a canoe paddle. "We lost the fraternity's Greek paddle and we need a new one for initiation."
These fucking morans were going to cut a fraternity paddle out of a fucking eight-foot 2x12. Talk about consecrating the bond of obedience! "Thank you sir, may I have another?"
(I sold him a saber saw and a rasp and told him he should have the initiates carve the new paddle themselves. He thought that was a GREAT idea...I was actually joking, that's a bit like having prisoners build the lethal-injection gurney.)

7. Reply #2 notwithstanding... |

...I thought that's what the OP was referring to as well. I'm a 26 year-old male, and I've never heard of such a thing (maybe it's before "my time"?). :shrug:
