ThunderSquids!

Man... Mr. Meeks says the darnedest things. I was walking down the hall at School and it was especially cold that day (it even snowed for a bit) and Mr. Meeks walks right beside me. No 'hello'. No introduction. He just starts walking by me and out of nowhere, just interjects: 'It's so cold outside. This morning, it was so cold, I saw a dog stuck to a fire hydrant.'
Maybe it's a weird thing now but I lol'd. And he'll do that. He'll walk up to people and ramble off whatever's on his mind. Sometimes he just makes corny jokes. Like, this one time, last year, I had just taken a super- hard Geometry test and he came up to me and was all like, 'What does an acorn say when it's grown up?... Geometry''. Crazy bastard... I love 'em.

Anyhoozle. My School and two other Schools are having to consolidate in the near future, so we had to vote on what our colours and mascot should be when we consolidate. In fourth hour, before we voted, everyone was just rattling off ideas for what our mascot should be. Wipi and Channing got on a computer and looked up random mascot names and they named a few weird ones but then they mentioned 'The Orphans'. Seriously. That'll sound really bad if we get beat in a game and the opposing team is all like, 'Alright! We beat the Orphans!' Think about it...
Anyway, when we got to sixth hour, it was time to vote. At the top of the page, we had to choose four colours- first choice and second choice. At the bottom of the page, we were given a list of mascots to choose from. We had to choose one mascot for first choice and then at the second choice, we could either choose another mascot or submit our own. For the second choice, I simply wrote 'Thunder Squids'. Is that not hard- core?... It's not?... Oh.
After everyone voted, our ballots were taken up and right as mine was being taken, I thought 'Thunder Thighs' would have been awesome. But it was too late...
I'm sure you're all wondering, so, this is a Thunder Squid (I drew it for you):
