Hokie....is that like a hoagie?

A Hokie is a member of the nation of followers of Virginia Tech. It comes from a cheer made up in the early 20th Century:

Hokie, hokie, hokie, hi!
Tech, Tech, VPI!
Sola-rex! Sola-rah!
Polytechs Virgin-i-a!
Ray, rah, VPI!
Team, team, team!

For the benefit of the college hockey fans in the audience, I offer Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's renowned "e to the x" cheer.

E to the x, dy, dx
E to the x, dx
Cosine, secant, tangent, sine
3.14159
Square root, cube root
Log of pi
Disintegrate 'em, RPI!

I am committed to this trip, now: purchased a new suitcase!

The other one is cursed (I am superstitious):

1. When in Rome, the Pope died

2. When in Israel, Ilan Ramon - first Israeli astronaut -- died in the Columbia crash

3. Left out of NY before 911, arrived in NY after 911

Meet the new "good luck" suitcase!!!

LOL ... sounds like a cheer guaranteed to get you a wedgie and locked inside your own locker.

I hope it is good luck. That's funny because the wife and I bought these for the trip as our carry on bags:

FarawayFriend · Jun 27, 2016

Is it mandatory to bring Eagle Creek baggage? Or will our good old Samsonites do? They look a bit battered, but so do their owners. And we have done a lot of trips together...

Well we are swiftly closing out June and heading into July. The months are clicking by. Way back in January we were months away (seemed like years), but we have inched our way forward and the light at the end of the tunnel, once a mere candle flame is now a search light..................Friends we are close !!! Soon the invasion of the "September to Remember" will begin ...............................War Horse were do we stand with the amount of members who will be there ? Is the itinerary final and completed ?

I look forward to meeting you all !! I will need someone to be the go between for me and Cash, as I will not be able to speak to him..............He has me on ignore here, does that carry on to Gettysburg ?..................lol

Any volunteers for the job ?

@W. Richardson Yes William the itinerary posted at the top of the page is our final. I think it's very impressive as it stands. I do have the spread sheet updated and I'm eager to add more names as the contact me.

We're getting close. This is starting to feel very real.

Aw, not for me!! This still feels like a dream and I don't dare to believe it will really happen lest I make the Gods jealous...
It will start to feel real when I see you all, hear your real voices, will be absolutely stunned that not all of you look like your avatars, maybe hug some (Be warned! Take cover if you don't want that!) ....

I've been told I look like a younger version of Stephen Colbert, so don't count on it! :tongue:

However, I cannot gurantee that I will be in a suit pointing directly at you with an American flag in the background at all times.

Yes, that would be pretty weird.

I promise I don't go around in sepia tones and tiny cute braids in my hair.

If you need me to stand next to Longstreet's monument to recognize me, we can probably find some time for that.

As I said, I will be stunned if you look differently!

Oh, I thought you would carry a lifesize model of the monument around with your outstretched arm!

As for me, of course I will collide with everybody, not to speak of any walls, doors or closets, as I will always have to walk with my head turned to the right and a kind of silly grin on my face (although the silly grin will come without saying. Sheer happiness, probably!).

Funny: I still have the exact same hairstyle as I did when I was 8-years-old. No imagination regarding such things as Avatars et al.

I look just like my avatar. Kewpie Doll hair and all

Well if that is so you will definitely be in danger to be hugged, LOL!!

Northern Light · Jun 27, 2016

My hair isn't curly and I will not be wearing this hat, nor will I have a bow around my neck, so I hope we have nametags!

Well it certainly can't be me! I currently have HIM on ignore and find it to be more peaceful here without dealing with a troll; we Southerners will just have to stick together - perhaps @Nathanb1 is a likely prospect for the unwanted job, considering her previous onsite experience as a Moderator!

I think it is time for all of us to sing the "Yellow Rose of Texas".
