NC loved it so much we adopted it.

I think it's a good list for discussion. I'm not a big fan of absolutes, though.

U. Repeatedly punch GP Pad with the opponents school name on it

So punching your own GP is OK??

Sure, it's not taunting if you're punching your own logo (note the similarity to E.)
