mighty hardy bomb cyclone bow down

November 20, 2024

bow down to Washington 

bow down to Washington

mighty are the ones 

who wear the purple and the gold

 

The lyrics tweaked only slightly over the 110 years since it became the official You-Dub fight song

 

Ye olde school 

 

UW goes back to 1861 

“Bow Down” came along in 1915

 

I’m not a real dawg, I just roll around on a purple & gold bathtub on Jerramy Stevens Way and Okanogan Lane the wrong way all day

 

You must have me confused with one of the four other 55-year-old bald neurodivergent electric ass Mr. McFeelys rolling around on purple & gold bathtubs…

 

You must have me confused with someone who gives a shit

 

You must have me confused with someone who went to work today

 

Waking up

on time 

normal time

hardwired

look at the clock 

the clock’s not there

flip on the lights 

lights aren’t there

eek out email

trees down all around

Sound Transit

shit show

trains are fucked 

two hours late

hurry up & wait

in the dark

can’t quite kickstart

circadian rhythms 

wielding weakass flashlight

but no coffee

don’t even 

think about it

say no go 

phone it in

call it off

call it

feel like shit

the morning after

Bomb Cyclone Day
