Neptune Day

Neptune Day is a 50 year old Semester at Sea tradition where "King Neptune" requires a sacrifice from each person to allow them to cross the equator (Neptune Day is the first day we cross the equator) so you may either shave your head or have fish guts dumped on you and then kiss a fish to transform from a "pollywog" (someone who hasn't crossed the equator by sea) to a "Shellback" (someone who has). I chose the fish. Here's a few pictures from the festivities!

PS: I ended up shaving and fixing a bunch of hair cuts because I was one of the few people who knew anything about clipping, and when they asked why I was so good I said "I clip a lot of cows" and I got a lot of strange looks :D
