I hate that I threw out my yearbook

[Rusty]

Okay, the title of this thread is a little misleading. I really couldn't give a rat's ass that I threw it away. I intentionally threw it away several years ago when we moved. I just could not think of one good reason to drag the damned book across the country. I liked very few of those people, and care to keep up with even fewer. At current, there is one guy from high school with whom I correspond. We write about an email per year. Anyway, I know a lot of people who treasure their yearbooks. Am I the only one who just couldn't find it in his soul to care?

This came up because one guy at work found yearbook pictures of another co-worker, and plastered them all over our department. It just made me that much more grateful that my yearbook is ever so slowly biodegrading in a landfill somewhere.

Just don't get too comfy there, you know there are probably still copies around somewhere...

I keep my yearbook in a shrine on top of my hope chest. It's resting on my letterman jacket and surrounded by pictures of my high school homies.

Hey VJ, I was an extra in a high school play my senior year (couldn't be a principal - I don't sing) and I convinced the teacher a beard was integral to the part. So I had a good Grizzly Adams look going, and they made us all wear fake tuxes (just the top portion) for the picture, which of course complemented my bowl cut very well. So I think I've got you and your braces beat.

Mine are treasures to me.

Fortunately Sadly VJ, that pic is in storage, a few states away. But I could grow a pretty decent beard in hs. It was not uncommon that classmates asked me to buy for them.

What's FF?

Beards?? Beards!!! You must be kidding me! Chop it all of right away. It itches. It's gross. Leftover food sticks to it... and it has a tendency to look like you've just soaked it in some soup or coffee. YUCK!

[Kasia]

yes they itch and scratch and God no! I guess the scratchiness factor depends on a person, but... thanks but no thanks.

FF could be Fantastic Four, Fat Fatties, Fact Finder, but she's referring to Fear Fantastique, a group which is moderated by VJ. It deals with horror/dark fantasy books and movies. There's also a lot of music talk.

Thanks Member. I love when people answer my questions.

[[deleted user]]

Well, yeah. I've seen what happens when people don't.

You mean you wouldn't want a pineapple shoved up your ass? Why not?

Hhhhhmmmm.....this must be a cultural thing. You see Kasia, in America we don't like, correction, most of us don't like, fruit introduced where the sun don't shine. Some of us don't particularly want anything in there.

[smetchie]

I'm some of us.
