My wife and I went to a local college today, to get some information about classes for her son, who is 17 and will probably go there next year.

I was wearing this shirt, and the admissions lady almost asked me if I was the 17 year-old. Yeah. I'm 34 and have a goatee.

"See, that's what you get when you wear a banana-colored shirt with a giraffe hugging a dinosaur on it." I said. "It effectively halves your age."

The lady was amused. My wife was horrified. I thought about declaring that nobody understands me before storming out to my bedroom and slamming the door.

I just grinned, instead. "You can buy it online," I said.

Squinty: re: your spouse, hope he's doing well! Had the same thing happen with my recent medical mayhem. All the docs etc. would see the new baby and grad-school-in-progress, and be all, "oh, you poor thing!" until they asked my actual age.

Must get coffee now. Mmmmm, so bitter, so good.

OMG, I was all star varsity curling skip 5 years in a row!

(High school in Ontario was 5 years, now recently condensed to 4.)

I graduated in 95. I don't think we had a class song, thank god.

Izzy, my babe is doing much better. He still smarts at the age thing, but he has a wonderful sense of humour about it. :)

i was in it for the parties :)

woo! I'm not sure I'm going to my ten year either... I'd rather forget high school then return to it.

Curling is the best!!!!!!

Sike, I was only on the school newspaper and the honor roll. :-/
lemonalle
lemonalle on Oct 26 '06 at 9:15am
Curling = impressive!
squintygirl
squintygirl on Oct 26 '06 at 9:17am
I liked the yelling part of curling the best.

We would play matches against 95-year-old men for practice. They could barely walk and used old straw brooms, but once they got on the ice, they KICKED ASS. I think the idea of playing against 4 teenaged girls in Catholic school kilts kick-started them.

Renassance faire?!?!? My school was so lame! We only had an actual convent on the grounds, so cool activities were strictly prohibited.
squintygirl
squintygirl on Oct 26 '06 at 9:18am
Oh, poo! I was on the honour roll, too, though. No renaissance faires to distract me.

I was lying... at first.

My school had a radio station, but I didn't know what the word "broadcasting" meant in 8th grade (God, I was stupid), so I didn't sign up for it. You had to take it in 9th grade to continue on in the program. My dreams of being a late night radio DJ shattered.

I went to my ten year reunion (six years ago---Aaaaaaah!), and my husband glanced at this random guy at the bar and snarked, "heh, I didn't know Dan Quayle went to your high school!" only it turned out to be my high school sweetheart. Eeeeeeeeeee.

No, he didn't actually look like Dan Quayle, I swear.
squintygirl
squintygirl on Oct 26 '06 at 9:23am
If I were lying, I would've picked a cooler sport than curling.
squintygirl
squintygirl on Oct 26 '06 at 9:24am
Dan Quayle? High school sweetheart? AHAHAHA!

And he played bagpipes, too. I kid you not. (But he DIDN'T look like Dan Quayle. Or take up curling.)
amy122166
amy122166 on Oct 26 '06 at 9:25am

ooh, you should have taken some broadcasting courses in college but im pretty sure you already had your hopes set on an education degree, who knows, if you had taken broadcasting in 8th grade, your life couldve steered off towards a new direction (nude erection)

man, i was a nobody in high school, the only correlation between me and a quarterback is getting my change back from the store

If only I hadn't been picked last for dodgeball, my whole life could have changed.

Dodgeball with brooms! That could be fun. :D

BK and DQ are extremely happy places.
melhel86
melhel86 on Oct 26 '06 at 9:51am
dude seriously I am starving and craving BK or DQ is NOT a good thing.

But it's not like we actually have more than one DQ in New Orleans and it's in the middle of nowhere...
squintygirl
squintygirl on Oct 26 '06 at 9:53am
My high school was in the middle of nowhere, seriously. Nothing but trees, deer and nuns as far as the eye could see. I wouldn't have minded a DQ right about there.

I worked at the grocery store. Mmm, green polyester uniforms.

That's why Dan Quayle wouldn't have me.
squintygirl
squintygirl on Oct 26 '06 at 9:58am
AHAHA! I used to work in a grocery store, also. I had to wear an apron that looked like someone died in it, and smelled like it, too.

My high school just felt like a prison.

My high school was next to a dairy farm

But it's not like we actually have more than one DQ in New Orleans and it's in the middle of nowhere...

Ooh, but you have PJs... If I lived in New Orleans, I'd be drinking iced mochas from there everyday, and I'd be a lot more productive!

The McDonalds folks definitely had cuter uniforms than we did
