Cider Press Hill

Avast me hearties

Arrr, it’s one o’ those thin’s, you know, not ha’in’ your camera with you when you mightily need it.

This mornin’ I was startled out o’ me reverie when I saw t’ huge black Jolly Roger flyin’ proudly over t’ high school. (it replaced t’ state flag and really, how could we *not* notice it!). I mean, t’ thin’ was huge and flappin’ gently in t’ breeze. It created quite t’ little traffic jam on t’ street below.

Well, aye, thar was a reason for it. Today be Senior Prank Day and lad did they pull pranks. Last night it took them roughly 2 hours t’ clear every desk and chair out o’ t’ entire high school, lug them up t’ the football stadium, and design a huge skull and crossbones with ‘em.

They also forked t’ fore lawn and parked their cars on t’ sidewalk so that thar was no place t’ walk except gin’erly between t’ fork tines. Interestin’.

Then, thar was t’ vice principal’s office which they decorated with 300 paper cups o’ water on his floor so that t’ only way in t’ his office would be t’ pick up t’ cups as he went—Aye, otherwise step on cups o’ water or kick them o’er. Gar....

Me thinks thar war a few other pranks pulled as well, aye, but I don’t know what they war. I hope they all be allowed t’ graduate after today.

In any case, t’ senior class went dressed as pirates today and they’re all talkin’ like pirates and breakin’ into t’ intercom system roughly every 20 minutes with tunes from Pirates o’ t’ Caribbean. I’d reckon nothin’ much be bein’ accomplished up thar today.

But it’s tradition. And se’eral o’ t’ intrepid staff members were on hand last night t’ make certain nothin’ too untoward happened.

Aye, tis’ good t’ be a pirate.
