sounds like my interests as well ………. who wanna collect underwear anyway ugh

Nerds are so lovable.

Sounds like a civilian defense.

Letter jackets are SO cool.

Hmmm, wonder which Chess piece is on his jacket? ☺️

Chess Master Dan.

That is actually extremely cool. ❤️

If they had a philatelist club, he could have got one with a stamp on it.

And the cat sleeps.

Really. My school had jackets and sweaters. Athletics warranted a block letter and non sports a script letter. Being in band and orchestra, it was script for me. But we won more competitions and stuff than the athletes, so while they had their block letters we also had stars and patches and stuff. Even third place in Rose Parade was a big deal. And first place two years later was even bigger.

I went to a brand new high school in 1960. The art teacher picked our school colors. Muted red and grey. The students voted on a mascot name. Dragons won. Then there was a revolt. Unfortunately some of the kids thought it sounded like a gang name. We were 25 miles north of Chicago where street gangs were a big deal. There was another vote and Warriors won. I’m still disappointed.

The exact same reason I drive the car that I do… lol. It works! Nobody wants it.

Pro tip: If you have no interests there’s nothing to steal.

I really wanted a Letterman jacket but I only had a Leno jacket…

They have the cutest weirdest conversations. Lol
