but without my alma mater
your alma mater wouldn’t have a fight song
so
yknow…
That’s crap, yo. We’d just have another school to make fun of.
What other college/university in this country has a fight song that’s in 3/4 time? THAT’S RIGHT - NOBODY!
3/4 time? Wacky.
yep. It’s a WALTZ.
Ours was written by a guy who wears leiderhosen and fronts the Smilin’ Scandanavians. So he didn’t write us an oom-pah song, but he did semi-officially dub us the Fighting Cornish Game Hens — that’s worth something, ain’t it?
Ok, any article about college rivalries that doesn’t mention the oldest & best (Harvard-Yale) is not one I can take seriously.
Cause I’m an elitist! Yeah!! :)
whatever kiddo
you guys FEAR carleton
that’s why we’re in the fight song
you need to pump yourselves up to feel better about things
like the fact that we got the better of the two hills
oh, please. You’ve got the slum hill. The town is bleeding into all the edges of your campus like a disease. You’re like a diseased pustule.
We’ve got the big hill all to ourselves, but feel free to keep dreaming.
oh yeah
m’bad
it isn’t a 2 mile hike to town from my hill
being so close to town is totally a disadvantage
especially in winter
in minnesota
right
my hill leveled off at the top
so you didn’t have to walk uphill
BOTH WAYS to class
you could drink in the open on my hill
you’re right
my hill blew
what the hell was i thinking
All right, Ernie, if you really want to get into this …
What the hell were you thinking? That’s what I’m asking myself. Having our own space - not having the little townie skater kids constantly wandering in - not having to deal with town traffic - and yet still being able to GET to everything easily … to some of us, this was a good thing.
Plus, none of us had to walk up or down hills to get to and from class, because the dorms and academic buildings were all at the top of the hill. Did you ever actually walk around my campus, or are you just making this shit up?
As for the drinking, since YOU all were so open about doing it 24 hours a day, and since your campus was so “open” to “everyone”, we left the constant public drunkenness to the Carles. We were just fine with going into town to drink on the weekends, and then taking the bus back to campus. That way, we didn’t have to deal with all the noise and the puke and the passed-out people all over our campus, but we could still have a good time. I mean, I’m sure you enjoyed the vomit and the constant haze of pot smoke. I’ll admit that it was a nice place to visit, but not for one moment did I ever want to live there.
The fight song for my college (Cornish College, founded by Nellie Cornish) goes a little something like this.
Ahem.
CORNISH, oh CORNISH
An artist’s dream come true!
Nellie, we will do you proud
And to our arts be true!
CORNISH, oh CORNISH
We love you with all of our hearts,
So go out there, Game Hens,
And Fight! Fight! Fight!
For the Cornish College of the Arts!
