Is it 1950? Where's Joseph McCarthy?

Is this the Joseph McCarthy Scholarship fund? This was a stipulation in the donor's will, so maybe they died in the 50's before communism was viewed as a failed ideology (or at least in my view). I thought about applying and using the evidence that I hate soccer as proof of my capitalist tendencies (there are no such things as ties). Anyway, I just thought this was kind of funny, and I haven't seen language like this and wondered if this was common in the 50's and 60's.

It's Official, Rob Loves Goats

I love the fact that despite the fact that I am going to turn 30 in a couple weeks, my friends still find the time to perpetuate a joke from high school on each other. See if you can find out Rob's dirty little secret, now known to the nation. For those of you not in the know, Rob went by Bobby for about all but 4 months of his life, which is of course when we met him. To this day, I think we are the only ones that call him Rob. For whatever reason he decided he liked to chant "Let's go goats" instead of Colts, and obviously this was because of his love of goats...
