First paragraph was interesting, though! ;-) The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Of course, the spelling is different Marshall and Marshal. But close enough for the average hilljack, of which I am one! Of course, since the school is named after Chief Justice John Marshall, they could the Justices, the Federalists, the Continentals, or even the Marbury vs. Madisons! ;-) [The student yearbook there is called the Chief Justice.] The different spelling of Marshall and Marshal reminds me of a Marshall graduation that I was at as a faculty member. At the graduation, they had marshals who were in charge of making sure folks got seated and generally keeping order. They had little badges that said "Marshal." One parent was overheard saying to one of the marshals, your badge has the school's name spelled wrong!

Kind of reminds me of a time that I was at a store with my parents in junior high, wearing a t-shirt for my school wrestling team that I was a member of. Someone in passing pointed to my shirt and said "oh, you play wrestling?!"

I mean there are the Akron Rubber Ducks and Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs.
