A group of Shorewood students went to the nearby OCB (Old Country Buffett) for a celebratory meal. It was there that they met the OCB's mascot, a guy in a giant yellow and blue bee costume. After causing several small children to cry in sheer terror, the mascot approached our table in eerie silence. As he neared, the smell of dirty children, cheap whiskey and forgotten dreams clung to our nostrils. As he shuffled up to us, we began to fully appreciate the shabbiness of his smuged and dirty costume. The Bee's gleefully shining plastic eyes belied a sad inner soul, a man who was once so full of life, now yearning for another chance at wasted potential... After minutes of uneasy yet hilariously enjoyable communication with the Bee, John Teske valianty offered forth his yearbook for the Bee to sign. Curiously, the grimy bee snatched up the yearbook and shuffled quickly past a row of crowded tables to a back room. Minutes later the Bee returned, solemnly handed John his Yearbook, shook all of our hands with his cartoon-like mitten-hand and bade us farewell. Once the Bee was gone, John opened the yearbook and read the Bee's now-infamous message: 

Congratulations.
