For those of us sitting around bored and tired of scrolling through hundreds of comments without the benefit of the z key working properly, I bring you this open thread. Like any other, there is no theme; we'll just go where the conversation leads us.

I know that this isn't close to 75 words yet. So I'll add the alma mater here.

For the glory of old State,
For her founders strong and great,
For the future that we wait,
Raise the song, raise the song. 

Sing our love and loyalty,
Sing our hopes that, bright and free,
Rest, O Mother dear, with thee,
All with thee, all with thee. 

When we stood at childhood's gate,
Shapeless in the hands of fate,
Thou didst mold us, dear old State,
Dear old State, dear old State. 

May no act of ours bring shame
To one heart that loves thy name,
May our lives but swell thy fame,
Dear old State, dear old State.
