--------------	Happy Bunny sez:
We are the Cardinals. Um. We Think. What, you may wonder, were FLAGs like as children? Behold the evidence left by the U.S. high school children of 1947. These future FLAGs of America seem to have needed constant and forceful reminders just to remember what school they attended. These children would grow up to place American flag decals on clean, flat surfaces everywhere. As kids, however, this effort of self-remembering took the form of carefully codified Yells of Recollection: Who are you? We're Cardinals We're Cardinals We're C-A-R-D-I-N-A-L-S Cardinals I'm sorry; who are you? C-C-Car D-D-Din A-A-Als CAR-DIN-ALS Cardinals C-C-Car D-D-Din A-A-Als CAR-DIN-ALS Cardinals Car-Din-Als Cardinals Rah Yeh Cardinals Ah. And you're from...?

Please -- won't you give generously?

He may reply: I am parakeet. (Ask an L.S.U. fan at a football game: Who are you? He may reply: I am a tiger.)")
