That's right- I unearthed more weirdness than I could fit into one article. Thus, I am writing a sequel. You might be a member of one of these clubs. You might be one of the brave souls who wear Transformer costumes or engage in serious Medieval swordfights in the quad during lunch while the rest of the student body walks by with perplexed looks on their faces. Or you might just be the hopelessly bland, normal kid who ridicules them.

Regardless, weirdness abounds at America's college campuses. The following five strange clubs are but a sampling:

Princeton Mime Company, Princeton University – In an age where mimes have become an object of mockery, these brave students face their cruel world in silence… and with invisible walls, windows, and props and white face paint. It is assumed that this club suffers from an inordinate amount of communication problems and injuries resulting from collisions with imaginary objects.

Ichidan Live Theatre & Cosplay, Boise State University – For the uninitiated, like myself, cosplay is a craze in which fans of Japanese anime and manga dress up as their favorite characters and come to special events to show off their elaborate costumes. Apparently, even in the spud-loving heart of the rugged West, this movement has gained a group of devotees. This particular club performs anime-inspired stage plays (in costume, of course), attends cosplay conventions, and stages cosplay game shows. Naturally, the club members all have anime-sounding code names like Graal, Venom, and Cloud. Check it out: Ichidan.com.

Society for Explosives Engineers, University of Arizona – This club sounds like a blast (get it?). This dynamite (get it?) troupe is dedicated to educating students about careers in mining, specifically mining through use of explosives. In the process, they get to blow a lot of stuff up. They are a student chapter of the International Society of Explosives Engineers. Check it out: IcsRecruiter.com.

Yellow Brand Organization, UC San Diego – Judging by their rather cryptic website, this student organization is dedicated to combating technical ineptitude in all its forms. Uh-huh…

The Shire of Grey Gargoyles of the Society for Creative Anachronism, University of Chicago – This one is much like the Quill and the Sword in my last article in that it seeks to recreate Medieval life (i.e. swords, armor, feasts, minstrels, women with long, flowing tresses and low-cut dresses), but I had to include it just for the cool name. Check it out: Grey-Gargoyles.

There is a point to college fight songs. They get people excited for the big game, they create a sense of togetherness, and they attempt to intimidate the other team. Fans sing them in a loud and boisterous way; they are sung in school halls, in the car on the way to the game, and of course, in the grandstands.

Here is a list of interesting fight songs, but before you get angry with me for making fun of your school, remember that my alma mater is the University of Utah, and the first two lines of our "Utah Man" fight song are: "I am a Utah man, sir, and I live across the green. Our gang, it is the jolliest that you have ever seen." Don't you feel intimidated?

There are other songs like Utah's that fall a bit short of intimidation, like the University of Wyoming's: "He always sings Raggy music to the cattle as he swings back and forward in the saddle, on a horse – a pretty good horse! He's got a syncopated gaiter, and you ought to hear the meter to the roar of his repeater; how they run – yes run! – when they hear him 'a-comin', cause the western folks all know, he's a high-falootin', rootin, tootin', son of a gun from ol' Wyoming, Ragtime Cowboy Talk about your Cowboy, Ragtime Cowboy Joe." and Appalachian State's: "Hi-Hi-y-ike-us Nobody like us, We are the mountaineers, mountaineers, mountaineers, Always a-winning, Always a-grinning, Always a-feeling fine You bet, hey!"

While University of Wyoming students are trying to say "syncopated" and Appalachian State students are "a-feeling fine," you might be asking yourself what the word "Hi-Hi-y-ike-us" means, but you haven't seen anything yet.

Tell me if you know what any of these noises mean: From Texas A&M comes the famous "Chigaroogarem, Chigaroogarem," while Bowling Green makes its fans say: "Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Zoomba Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Ze Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Zoomba Ay Ziggy Zoomba Zoomba Zi"

University of Illinois students apparently get a little tongue-tied when trying to rhyme words with "Illinois," so instead they shortened their state name to "Illini" and added a few other interesting noises: "Che-he! Che-ha! Che-ha-ha-ha! Go Illini go! Che-he! Che-ha! Che-ha-ha-ha! Go Illini go!"

And then come the downright weird noises that take a strong understanding of phonics before you can pronounce them.

From the University of Pittsburgh comes: "Give her a grand old ALLEGENEE GENAC GENAC GENAC" while Roanoke College students sound a bit like donkeys: "RAY RAY BRACTY ACK ACK ACK" and St. Olaf's fans sound very unsure of themselves: "Um Ya Ya, Um Ya Ya Um Ya Ya, Um Ya Ya Um Ya Ya, Um Ya Ya Um Ya Ya Ya Um Ya Ya, Um Ya Ya Um Ya Ya, Um Ya Ya Um Ya Ya, Um Ya Ya Um Ya Ya Ya."

And what about the fight songs that are so grandiose that they make you wonder whether they're playing sports or quoting Shakespeare, like Boston College's song: "For Boston, for Boston, We sing our proud refrain! For Boston, for Boston, 'Tis Wisdon's earthly fane For here we are one and our hearts are true, And the towers on the Heights reach to Heav'n's own blue. For Boston, for Boston, Till the echoes ring again." and Fordham University's song: "Hail! men of Fordham, hail! on to the fray! Once more our foes assail in strong array. Once more the old Maroon, waves on high We'll sing our battle song. We do or die."

And while they quote Shakespeare, Purdue University sings hymns: "To Your Call Once More We Rally; Alma Mater Hear Our Praise; Where The Wabash Spreads Its Valley; Filled With Joy Our Voices Raise. From The Skies In Swelling Echoes Come The Cheers That Tell The Tale Of Your Vict'ries And Your Heroes, Hail Purdue! We Sing All Hail!"

Hope you enjoyed it! I'll sign out with a rowdy "Ride 'em Cowboys, E-E-E-E-YAH!" from Oklahoma State University.
