(This appeared in this weeks Benson County Press).
Isabel native Roger Smith of Minot has come to the conclusion that UND should change the nickname of its sports teams from the "Fighting Sioux" which is opposed by many.
(I'm sure some of you may have seen this e-mail that is floating around, but the ending has a new twist that is only appropriate). *Read until the end, you'll get a good laugh. *
He figures the UND Medical School might like the "Fighting Flu" or "Fighting Sinew." How about the "Fighting Few?" Animal lovers might go for the "Fighting Gnu" or the "Fighting Shrew" or the "Fighting Ewe." Plant lovers might like the "Fighting Kudzu," "Fighting Cashew" or "Fighting Bamboo." Frat guys would like the "Fighting Brew."
Maddock native David Hvinden asks, "Why not just change the spelling to the Fighting Soo, that way all the Bison fans could spell it too!"
Maddock native, Dean Aanderud, replies to Hvinden, "Why not Fighting Bison II? It does kind of rhyme and fits with the same general pattern of being a cheap imitation of what they have in Fargo."
How about that! *Funny stuff. *
