Kinda makes a bit more sense when you consider that the school is in Sultan, Washington and it's address is on Turk Drive.

But also: Washington state.... redneck?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 52 points 5 months ago (3 children)

As an European, I can confirm that all Americans (south and north) are Yankee rednecks

As a Texan, I can't read goddamn thing between my wild diabetes eyes and rampant illiteracy

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 months ago

How can you afford wild diabetes in 2024? Even pasture raised costs an arm and a leg.

As someone from the east side of the state, it definitely fits. Friends joke that I live in West Idaho.

Outside of Seattle/Tacoma, very redneck. Get up to the mountains where they make all the meth and the cattle farms are pretty redneck too, but they have stripper coffee shacks nearby.

[–] Numenor@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Stripper coffee is where ladies strip? And there's hot beverages?

[–] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Pretty much hit the nail on the head right there. That's exactly what they are.

Does it though? Like saying the Germantown school mascot should be the Krauts.

Other Options:

Viziers

Janissaries

Genies

Bombards

Footstools

Istan-Bulls

Harem Girls

Mhmm

Wait, what were we talking about again?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 32 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I was about to comment how cool the name Bombards would be, but then I read the Istan-Bulls and sorry but you should be legally obligated to go with that name when it's an option, it's that good.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 26 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Better than their previous name: the Constanti-No-Bulls

[–] Poiar@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why they changed it I can't say

People just liked it better that way

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

And their fans are bull-stans then?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 5 months ago

Janissaries

When you want to make it even worse...

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (7 children)

People always expect Oregon and Washington to be super liberal but once you leave the city it's a bunch of hicks in the woods (respectfully)

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (4 children)

I don't even expect Portland to be super liberal. That city has a long history with the KKK.

Yes, if you're more than an hour from Seattle/ half an hour from Spokane you're probably in redneck territory

I believe it. Even here in California small mountain towns tend to lean heavily conservative

the fucking turks

If that's the face he makes while he's fucking then I think he's doing it wrong

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That's the face he makes when doing yo momma!

[–] ModernEraCaveman@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

nice, real’ classy

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

Maybe he's the one getting fucked...

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

Cuz, for some reason, he folds it in half before inserting it

[–] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 42 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks!

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

I don't think many actual Turkish people would be offended by this.

We had a boring enough mascot, but my highschool had separate black and white homecoming kings & queens... In 1998.

[–] scoobford@lemmy.zip 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that was illegal at the time...

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

They're usually done as private parties with invites required and off campus. That way you can't sue the school.

That's fucking badass

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago (4 children)

My small town's mascot was the Tigers. The next town to the north? Tigers. The town west of us? Their school shut down in 1997, but they were Tigers, too. The town south? Panthers. There is a town in the next county north that also is the Panthers.

Lots of big cats. No Cougars/Pumas/Mountain Lions, despite the fact that they're totally a native species. There was one town whose mascot was the Bobcats.

Imagine if Turkish people really existed. Wouldn’t that be wild?

Rival high school: the Greeks

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

Are they young? Do they dress in suits and chase Cloud Strife?

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Were you allowed to rock the Casbah?

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago

Would be amazing if Their mascot was Hasanabi
