I'll have you know at "AaMCasSoWMS" we are proud of our halls smelling like wet mice and our art work is wonderfully accepted by the local cats. And our mascot is a big white mouse that we drench with water every now and then during our football games.

Shoulda done it with jello. Way more interesting. This just seems like a waste of water.
