How I celebrated Old School Day

So, I watched the 2003 film 'Old School' starring Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson and I was tempted to try the wrestling aerial technique used by the Undertaker but couldn't find a willing opponent!

And here's an picture of me at school (and as it's now 20 years ago it's cetainly 'old school' vintage!)!
