Get the baphomet mug.Bapolics are found mainly in South Louisiana, where as they are known to say, "We have both religions here - Baptist and Catholic." Bapolics are mixed-religion families. A Bapolic may have Baptist parents but Catholic grandparents or great-grandparents. Or they could have one Baptist parent and one Catholic parent. They could be Catholic with a lot of Baptist cousins. These people are still family and do interact with each other.
My mother was Baptist but enough of a Bapolic that she could whip up a little chapel cap to wear to a wedding Mass out of a net onion bag and some artificial flowers. This was back when women had to wear hats inside Catholic churches pre-Vatican II.
In our Bapolic family, when the Catholics throw a party there is always beer. When the Baptists throw a party, the beer was iced down in an ancient Co-Cola ice chest in the bed of my uncle's pick-up truck. The truck was parked a half of a football field away from the other guests.
Etiquette: Bapolic families are considerate enough of each other's religions that if they have to attend each other's services, they would never attempt to take Communion. But the Baptists don't kneel during Mass, which causes problems sometimes especially at First Communions, weddings and funerals when there are a lot of people in the church. This is because the people behind them who are kneeling don't have any place to rest their elbows on the back of the pew while kneeling themselves and waiting for their turn to go up for Holy Communion. This causes a lot of discomfort on the old knees and difficulty in maintaining balance.
Nobody ever tells the Baptists that this is a problem or suggest they just sit a little forward on their seats. Bapolics are painfully polite most of the time, at least in front of people of the other religion. Otherwise they can tell jokes like my Baptist cousin who said, "You know what that ol'priest sounds like he's sayin'? 'I'mmmmm gonna walk my dog and you're gonna walk your dog tooooo-ooooo.'"
Baptists always cover their beer cans with coozies and everyone pretends they don't recognize the Budweiser logos sticking out of the top of the can. Catholics only have to cover their beer cans with coozies when they are drinking with the Baptists (out of respect) or when it's really hot outside, which it often is in South Louisiana.

Get the Bapolic mug.Babson is #1 in entreprenuership, but that's not the only thing the college is recognized for. Babson is well known in the business world for finance and accounting. The college provides a great foundation for a career in business by requiring courses such as Marketing, OB, Finance, Accounting, Calc, Statistics, etc.
There is a diverse student body with a huge international population which brings a variety of cultures to campus. This is the only place that allows students to start and run their own businesses as freshmen. This entrepreneurial spirit continues into the rest of the curriculum throughout the four years with consulting experiences and other work opportunities.
The spirit of the student body has improved over the past few years. With the addition of a new Dean and the infusion of new students, there has been a lot more support for the community. Athletics have been on the rise, with two NEWMAC championships this fall, one NECC and many more to come in the winter and spring.
Babson is a great place for individuals who are driven and looking for a school to grow themselves and potentially a business!

Get the Babson College mug.The bassoon is by far the best instrument ever, making the other sections bow down to them. If you fail to play it right though, it will sound like a duck that is dying.
And although it is the best, the other sections must confuse the bassoon with the oboe every other time they say the name, because they do not know any better.
Commonly referred to as the "farting bedpost", and also the target of many jokes (most of which involve the bassoon again being compared with the inferior oboe, having it being burned longer.) the bassoonists must be very patient.

Clarinetist: Nice Oboe!
Bassoonist: IT'S A BASSOON! -stabs with reed-
What's the difference between a bassoon and an oboe? The bassoon burns longer!

Get the Bassoon mug.A petroleum derived liquid mixture. Primarily used as fuel for the numerous explosions typically seen in films directed by Michael Bay.
Baysoline is a colorless volatile liquid among a series of movie-made aromatic hydrocarbons. Dangerously unstable and highly toxic, the combustion of baysoline is a extremely exothermic reaction. Perfect for Michael Bay directed movies, small amounts of baysoline produce large volumes of hot gas.

Drew: Jesus Christ! Why does Michael need all this fuel?
Head Pyrotechnician: Well when you're movies hardly have any relevant dialog or plausible storyline... Shoot you're gonna have to fill three-quarters of the film with perfectly shot explosion scenes.
Drew: Are we that Baysoline-dependent?
Head Pyrotechnician: I guess when Shia LeBeouf and Ben Affleck are you're lead actors... Then yes.
