THE GOLDEN SPIKE
Imagine, if you will, the presence of pompon girls and cheerleaders at Promontory Point, Utah in 1869 when the golden spike completing the transcontinental railroad was driven. It might have gone something like this:
Cheerleaders (pompon girls behind them shaking pompons rhythmically): Well, skit, skat, how ’bout that.
Dignitaries and railroad workers: Well, skit, skat, how ’bout that.
Cheerleaders (pompon etc.): Now drive that golden spike ayamma yamma.
Digs and RR w: Now drive that golden spike ayamma yamma.
Cheerleaders (etc.): Yes, drive that golden spike ayamma yamma.
Digs and RR w: Yes, drive that golden spike ayamma yamma.
Cheerleaders (whispering): Well, skit skat, how ’bout that.
Digs and RR w (whispering): Well, skit skat, how ’bout that.
Cheerleaders (shouting, pompon girls doing whatever): SKIT SKAT!
Digs and RR w (shouting): SKIT SKAT!
