Because my school wasn't this cool.

When my brother was a senior he got to dress up as a cheerleader. This is the day I learned he could do a mean back hand spring. My 8 year old self was very impressed... Hell, my 23 year old self is still impressed. When I went to that very same high school ten years later... no powder puff. lame. But even our powder puff (when we had one..) was nothing like this awesomeness.
