As a graduate of Texas A&M, I am very familiar with the customs and traditions of the school. I've had my suspicions that Choc went to the school in the past but today confirms it.
The traditional nickname for a freshman at Texas A&M is "Fish". Does that sound like something that would interest a cat?
TAMU maintains its own vet school and dairy cattle herd/with dairy. Free medical care and free food.
Now today's banner shows Choc saying "Meow Damnit". As everyone knows Meow in cat translates as howdy. The phrase "Howdy Damnit" is the traditional greeting of a "fish" in the corp of cadets to a "non-reg". For the unintiated, there are no people more non-reg than IW members.
Now I want to know. Did Choc graduate?

And I just though Choc was related to Catbert or something. But cadet training makes sense .... You went to TAMU huh? I graduated Norwich, MCV. We called our freshmen (officially) Rooks, but more often Rocks (more appropiate [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] ) Of course "Hey you" was popular too ....
