    Dough! Don't be so crusty. Given the characters here, it was baked in this thread would start.

    A popular cheer when I started school (a little engineering school in Atlanta) was:

    Differential Y.
    Differential X.
    To hell with differentials.
    We want sex.

    The visual was the male cheerleaders each cradling and pretending to kiss a female cheerleader, with the female cheerleader fluttering her feet in enjoyment.

    Apparently, it was a cheer that had been around a while.

    Then, one year, the cheer was gone. The administration decided it wasn't appropriate.

    Pi Day is just a fake holiday created by math companies to sell more math.

    North Avenue Trade School is where I learned about and regularly patronized the largest burger joint in the world.

    Very geeky. Reminds me of the intramural softball team I was on in college, the Infrared Sox. (We were all physics and EE majors).
