LOL! I always said that if and when I graduated, I would put my diploma on the wall and shoot rubber darts at it. I finally got it at 49...and friends bought me rubber darts as grad gifts. I dont think my college would have allowed that. Your teachers sound very supportive :0)

Laugh out loud, did the school actually let you graduate like that?

Ya, i thought that some of the teachers would try to keep me from wearing it, but they all loved it!

My school was very strict, they would never alow that. We weren't even supposed to wear pins.

Nice man, I wanted to modify my graduation cap too but my school was very strict on that. Love the Maine support, gotta represent.

This looks awesome! I presume you added the sox logo as well? I'd suggest doing a duct-tape test-run to double check the balance of the cap and antlers before drilling the whole thing out. Those wacky little flat/bendy hair clips are perfect for helping hold mortar boards on as well, if you've got enough hair.
