I was a track manager my freshman year and I was the most worthless one EVER! Anyways, I was supposed to be filling up the huge water jug for the team but I accidentally fell asleep in the tent so he dumped all the ice into that jug on me and said, “Mornin’ Sunshine!” :]]

Best track coach ever. It was May 2006 (I think I put this on our senior yearbook) and we were at Track practice, running sprints in the hallways rockin’ out to Twisted sister as always, anyhoo I went into the bathroom to take care of my business. This was a weird time in my life, for some reason I always had to pull my pants all the way down when using the urinals, so I’m there humming and whizzing when low and behold Mr. Ramondelli walks in stops dead in his tracks stares at me, I feel like a deer in front of headlights, nothing is said for 10 seconds. He puts his hands on his hips, a grim appears on his face, he shakes his head and says, “This is why I don’t use public restrooms” and walks off. Ahhh I’ll never forget him during track meets, walking around with his shorts way too high and his old timers hat. Good times.

God damn, Kenny would sure stir shit up in Mr. R’s class..
I forgot about that.

Thank you. :)

Or some of the ridiculously racist nicknames Mr. R would have for me..

Those were good times, for sure.

The first was that he showed us Holy Grail. You are automatically categorized as awesome for introducing Monty Python to high schoolers. Second, he showed us an A&E biography of Jesus, which really sort of catalyzed all sorts of subversive thoughts about religion down the road (maybe he wouldn’t have liked credit for that, but as far as I’m concerned it was a positive thing).

Other fun memories of that class are him teasing Griffin for being “light on his loafers” (which is maybe a bit homophobic, but damn did he deserve it) and him saying Hillary Clinton would never ever get elected in New York.
