Ollies Follies '08


Last weekend and this past weekend were a compiled event called Ollies Follies, last weekend they had the class competitions in flag football, softball, sand volleyball and dodgeball. Also there were "Wacky Games" which included a girl riding piggy-back to a guy that had an egg strapped to his head while the girls tried to break the egg by slapping the guys on the face with a fish. So this entire week I practiced a dance to Vanilla Ice put together by my dear friend Morgan. Throughout the week we had practices with the part of the Junior class involved with the Variety Show (which is a class competition dealing with putting together a video/talent show)... the whole thing for our class was a 5 minute video and then a 7 minute talent show part. Our video had our President Dr. Bowling, Dean Woody Webb, Prof. Dr. Jay Martinsen, and Craig Bishop posing as a boy band "Red Street" since our colors were red. The video was hilarious and the dancing part we did was by far better than the other classes. The theme of Ollies Follies this year was "Through the Decades" and our decade was the 90's which was perfect since we all lived through the 90s. So some of the dances included were MC Hammer "Can't touch this", Cotton-eyed Joe, Ice Ice Baby, Woop There It Is, Everybody Dance Now, Fresh Prince, and of course, NSYNC "Bye Bye Bye". The Variety Show was awesome, all of the classes were standing up clapping for our performance.... However... when the results came in we came in 2nd to the Sophomore class! It was pretty disappointing, however, to make the night that much better my sister (a senior at ONU) got engaged! So the loss at Ollies Follies didn't even matter anymore =)
So overall a good first full week of classes has gone by to end with a great weekend coming in 2nd under the sophomores but in front of the seniors... and my sister's engagement! Great weekend! Check out the pics :)
