Get the finlay norton mug.Emperor Norton (1818-1880) was a resident of San Francisco and self proclaimed Emperor of the United States and later on was the Protector of Mexico.
Born in England in 1818, Norton would spend most of his early years in South Africa. He would then move to San Francisco in late 1849. Norton then became a trader and real estate speculator, and was also one of the wealthier residents in the city. However, he became destitute when he attempted to corner the rice market.
Soon after, Norton decided to proclaim himself Emperor of the United States. He issued various edicts which included dissolving the US Congress, building a bridge in San Francisco, and creating a “League of Nations”.
Soon, people treated Emperor Norton as if he were an actual emperor. They would formally greet him, accept his own imperial currency, and even the Police would salute him.
In fact, the King of Hawaii, Kamehameha V, would recognize Emperor Norton as the sole ruler of the United States.
Emperor Norton was also considered a very progressive man, attempting to peacefully stop an Anti-Chinese riot. He was also very friendly by those who met him.
Eventually, Emperor Norton would pass away on January 8th, 1880. His Funeral was paid for by the Pacific Club, and 10,000 people showed up to pay their respects.

"… he had shed no blood; robbed no one; and despoiled no country; which is more than can be said of his fellows in that line".

Get the Emperor Norton mug.Norton high school is one of the most atrocious high schools in all of Massachusetts. People here make fake rumors and start shit with just about anyone to receive attention, all because they can’t stop putting coke up their nose. The teachers are cool, and teach kids well academically. The bathrooms are a vape hangout and also where lsd is taken. The pride rock is where people get drunk like their life depends on it and claim it as their personality trait. Most students here can barely make it into a community college never mind a good league school. This is the place where people should not attend high school.

Get the Norton High School mug.Norton High School-
A small town in Massachusetts who thinks it’s elite and outstanding and very known. When realistically, most people in mass have never heard of it, and if they have it’s known as snortin norton. That’s because of the kids in this high school who do blow and pop pcp just about everywhere or anywhere they get the chance. The girls here all mess with taken guys and use their pussies as a personality trait. The guys here use their one inch pinch as a personality trait and beg girls for pics and lie and say they had sex with girls who want nothing to do with them. This high school also had an “ Eiffel tower” book about girls who had a 3 way with guys who don’t wash their chodes. This high school also gets drunk at pride rock and vape like their life depends on it. This school sucks at football. This school is a joke.
