Gimme an O! Gimme an L! Gimme a D!

A mother in Wisconsin has been charged with stealing the identity of her 15-year-old daughter to attend high school and join the cheerleading squad.

Wendy Brown, 33, faces a felony identity theft charge after enrolling in Ashwaubenon High School as her daughter, who lives in Nevada with Brown's mother.

The woman attended practices with the cheerleading squad, got her own locker and even went to a pool party at the coach's house.

She must have a smoking hot body to pass for a 15-year-old at 33, eh? Don't frown, Wendy - that's something to cheer about!

A school liaison officer started investigating after Brown only attended the first day of classes last week and a $134.50 check Brown wrote to purchase the cheerleading uniform bounced, the complaint said.

An employee at the school said that Brown seemed timid and even cried when she talked about moving from a school in Nevada. She said that while Brown looked older than a student, she behaved like one.

According to a complaint filed against her, Brown wanted to get her high school degree and become a cheerleader because she didn't have a childhood and wanted to regain a part of her life that she'd missed.

The wannabe cheerleader appeared in court Friday. The judge set bond at $8,000. If convicted, Brown could be shaking her pom-poms in prison for up to six years and face a $10,000 fine. She also apparently has a history of identity theft, according to Brown's mother.

Any dirty old man's fantasy

Q: What's full of pom poms, spirit and beer residue?
A: The elevator at the University of Texas' Jester Hall.

Police and firefighters were called to the campus after 26 cheerleaders (aged 14-17) got themselves stuck in the elevator.

Apparently, the girls --who were attending Texas Cheer Camp-- were trying to see how many of them they could fit in there as a puerile little game. Only, the elevator descended one floor and the doors wouldn't open. After panicking for a bit, a few of the cheerleaders wiggled their cell phones out and called for help.

Signs posted in the elevator warns "No more than 15 people or 3,000 pounds."

Two girls were treated at the scene. One girl fainted and was taken the hospital. She dropped the metaphoric spirit stick on that one...and was probably cut from the squad.
