Double secret probation!

Yet, this article illustrates well why he's of little consequence or interest.

Bingo.

My ten year reunion was last year, being class of '94. I didn't go due to the fact that I am now far away, but my friend told me it was odd seeing our former classmates bringing their children along.

There was a great list making the rounds a few years ago that reaallly made feel creaky. It including things like "skates have always been inline" and the "no idea what a broken record is" reference.

I'll have to go find it....

When I was very young (5-6 years old) I remember going to a "roller disco" called Hot Skates, mirror ball and all.

I never go to my class reunions. From the few classmates I've seen, they have all gotten old, fat, and bald. And the men are even worse!

[NorCalRepub]

good lord......my 30th high school reunion is this year but i've been working out for all those years and still have 8% body fat and can run circles around those guys........but somehow my hangovers last longer and longer.......lol

Blutowski.......zero point zero.........

Doug Neidermeyer: How does it feel to be an independent, Schoenstein?
Boon: How does it feel to be an asshole, Neidermeyer?

pretty much the best piece that I've read on the subject of comparing something older to something newer appeared a couple of years ago in "The Onion". It was an article entitled, "When You're Ready to Have a Mature Discussion About the Green Lantern, You Have My E-Mail Address."

I know several comic book fans that said that they could have written most of it. And, of course, one noted that the piece was even funnier if you read it using the voice of the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons.

Much as I loved John Vernon in that movie, it would have been really cool if Landis could've gotten his original choice to play Dean Wormer: Jack Webb (aka Joe Friday).

[NorCalRepub]

ya think Webb would have had the comedic genius to do it. Dean Werner was a riot though.............

"Kids going to college this fall were born the year I graduated from high school. Which means that I was going to bars three years before they were born."


So, this guy was going to bars when he was a sophomore in high school? And this guy is only a couple of years older than me, since the kids who were born when I graduated high school are getting their drivers' licenses now. I don't remember it being legal to go to a bar at the age of 14-15 back in the '80s.

Jonah is from NYC, where carding is only used to keep the B&Ts from Jersey from stinking up the place. I never got carded in NYC myself.

[Professional Engineer]

Maybe Lyle made Jonah feel old but, I'd never even heard of this movie(?) "Old School" until this moment.

Me either. I guess I have to change my nick to Geezer Engineer. LOL

Doug Neidermeyer: And most recently of all, a "Roman Toga Party" was held from which we have received more than two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion SO profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.

[Cincinatus]

"Seven years of college down the drain! Might as well join the f*ckin' Peace Corps!"
