G’day! Byron the Quokka here, interviewing a famous college sports personality who may become the first coach of Quokka University’s pick-up sticks team. I have to protect her identity, this is a confidential interview, but the picture’s okay because she’s in disguise. If I told you who she really was, you’d just plain faint. Still, nothing will happen till we can agree on her salary. Quokka U. doesn’t have a lot of money yet. In fact, so far, we have no money at all. But we do have a cool Latin motto, Ipso loquitur mannimota, and that has to count for something.
Oh, there’s so much to do! Who knew that setting up a college would be so much trouble? Well, we’re committed to the pick-up sticks team, we need a bunch of buildings and a stadium, we have to hire professors and somebody to clean up, and someone has suggested we might want to have a jacks team, too. Personally, I’m holding out for a Clue team. Professor Plum in the Lounge with the Candlestick!
And now, on to the next interview. Ipso loquitur, everybody!
And don’t forget the cafeteria! Every college has to have a cafeteria.
First the menu!
Fish sticks and cheap macaroni, all day, every day. 🙂
Ooh-ooh! Are you going to have a baseball team? And what does “Ipso loquitur” mean?
Search me! It just sounds cool.
Yes, it sure does! To be able to think of motto like that, those quokkas might be smarter than I am!! (*!*)
Ipso loquiter means “the thing speaks for itself.” Byron, you need to start a GOFUNDME page. Tell them you need to build a wall around the campus to keep the kangaroos out. And how about a swimming pool with a high dive?
Also good coffee.
