The Fighting Sioux
When I'm in my car, I always listen to National Public Radio (NPR). Their discussions are usually interesting. Today I was listening to a debate between leaders of two different groups of Sioux Indians in North Dakota. The athletic teams of the University of North Dakota (UND) are nicknamed the Fighting Sioux. One of the leaders, Mr. Iron, was in favor of UND keeping the nickname. The other leader, Mr. Taken-alive, wanted UND to stop using the nickname. When Mr. Taken-alive was introduced, I couldn't keep my mind on what they were talking about for wondering how he got that name. I'm just glad I already had a last name or I could have been known today as Mr. Don't-take-that-last-biscuit.
