At football games during half-time the cheerleaders perform a chant to the spirit stick to summon the touchdown gods to help the team.

At practice, cheerleaders sometimes use bags of potatoes as test dummys for stunting.

Every day we sit in a circle and cry for twenty minutes. If you can't cry the whole time you get kicked off the squad.

You must like mooses.

You have to somehow be related to your flyer.

If you can't do the splits you can't be on the team.

That's all :)
