  • Shocker seen in Belize bar . . .

    One of my technical support engineers just got back from installing some equipment on a Belize airlines aircraft (Country East of Guatemala) . Said the temp and humidity was brutal.
    Stopped in to the local beach pub to get a brew and check out what was on the wall (under the beer ad).
    Said he had a great time explaining what a wheat shock was and therefore a WUShock. Natives thought he was crazy. (Actually, he is. . .)

      Here is a pic of WU on a ballcap (currently sitting in overwatch in my son's room) about to get after it with bad guys on a long range desert patrol in Iraq circa 2004-05.



      Who else has pics of WU around the world?

        For years both Geology and Anthropology ran field schools in Belize. Some of the faculty have retired down there.

            Been there a few times, it is hot and humid. The natives laugh at us gringos because we want air conditioning..If you go to Wet Willies bar (Ambrigris caye) you will see a Cowtown Ballroon tee shirt on the wall. A gift to Robert the bartenter and mgr from me.
            I have come here to chew bubblegum and kickass ... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

              I just returned from two weeks overseas. Was sitting at an outdoor cafe in Nimes, France, wearing a standard-issue Nike WSU Polo with "Wu" on it. Being surrounded by French-speakers, the last darn thing I thought I'd get would be recognition, but astonishingly enough, had two people in a matter of 30 minutes recognize Wu and comment on the shirt. Small world.

                How did they say "WU" en francais?

                A physician called into a radio show and said:

                              Vacationing in the lake of the ozarks and staying at the four seasons,fellow in the elevator said nice shirt as I was sporting my favorite shocker shirt, I turn around and see he's wearing a swomo tee. Long story short after a few drinks at the bar is swomo is a sleeping giant and WSU is a coaching change away from becoming drake. Lmao
