I received the invitation for my 20th high school reunion (I graduated at a very young age ;)).
Now the question is - - do I go?
:-/
Of COURSE you go! Here are your objectives:
1--Find that high school crush/boyfriend and either a-count how few hairs he has left on his head or b-measure his comb over or c-both. Do this while he's trying to impress you with his I'm fixing up a '78 Chivelle" (sp?) story.
2--Take a look at the 'popular' group. Between them, count divorces, indictments and illegitimate children. The number is higher than their IQs.
3--Ah, the cheerleaders/jocks. See step 2.
4--Now, remember all those kids everyone made fun of? Now they're the hottest and most successful. Man, if we only knew then what we know now...
LOL!!!!
Good answer!
;)

BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Too funny, Tiff!
BTW, it's Chevelle! Unless you're from Texas, where it's spelled like it's pronounced! :-*
Goodrinch Chivalay!
Luv you! Don't shred my licence application, OK? :-* :-*
Rhiannon was unofficially voted "least likely to succeed", and believe it or not...her 10th HS reunion is coming up in 2006. Let's see...Professional roadracer, She'll have 8 yrs of military under her belt and a decorated war vet, been to many European countries and exotic locals, counts World and National racing champions as her personal friends. Oh yeah, and she's starting a modeling career to boot.
Yeah...she'll be going to her reunion. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Me...I hated high school and no one I went to high school with has done much with themselves. How do I know? They don't roadrace. They don't motocroos, supercross, flat track or supermoto. 'Nuff said. :P ;) ;D
I'd go. I'm going to mine if we ever have one. Problem is, half of my class is either dead or in prison, so it may be a while. And when I say half, I mean half, literally. My graduating class was 19 people. I know 4 of the 19 are dead from suicide or drugs. Never really kept track of anyone though. :-/

So
this is what it's like to actually meet and know you? Folk are driven to drugs or self-immolation. Not so sure I want to meet or hang with you now Dan-o :o :P ;D
Oh man, H. That was just cold. You so totally went there. The only thing you left out was the part about the short bus....
QuoteRhiannon was unofficially voted "least likely to succeed",
AND she has K3's cell number in her speed dial! ;D
Ya know.... I knew all that stuff about the girl, but to me she's just my plain old friend Rhiannon. It all sounds so much more important when you hear a mother's bragging. ;)
Really, racers are an exceptional bunch. There just aren't any "average" people in the group. It's not necessarily about brains or talent, but more about inner drive. Is it any wonder that I find real people boring, and choose to hang out only with other racers?
High School reunions? One of my very best friends is a guy I met in high school. Hanging out with him is all the reunion I'll ever need. I hated that prison, and couldn't wait to be parolled. The one good thing about my High School was the liberary. It was a Catholic school, so you can imagine that there was a 100 year collection of the best literature available in that awesome collection. That's where I got my real schooling.
Needless to say, I will be dropping off a copy of my novel when it is finally published.... 8)
QuoteThe only thing you left out was the part about the short bus....
Whoa! That's scary. I actually thought about making a comment along those lines as to why his "class" size was so small.
Like they say, "great minds hang out in the same gutters" ;D

LOL...are you still Catholic? Catholic schools have a way of really turning off the youngin's.
:o ;) :P
I can just see all the nuns wanting to become a racer, or date a racer... ;D

;D No short bus here. We didn't have a bus for a long time. Had to walk >:( I lived about half mile from the school.
I bet it was uphill. Both ways. And you had to brave snow storms and wolves too ;D
;D ;D No, that's back in your days old timer. We had snowmobiles and 4 wheeler's. ;D
Hey, watch that old timer stuff buddy, I resemble that remark!
Walk? Hell no, we had a 57 Olds w/ 371 ci, tri-power. Got us to school plenty fast. A buddy of mine has a picture of me pulling the front wheels off the ground in front of the school. That was in 1967.
I quit in '68 and after listening to the principle tell me all the stories about not getting a job, blah, blah, blah, I went to work for his brother two weeks later. Revenge is so sweet! ;D ;D ;D
QuoteWe had snowmobiles and 4 wheeler's. ;D
QuoteHad to walk >:(
Yeah, I once had a car that was like your 4WD and snowmobile. It kept me in great shape. ;D
QuoteHey, watch that old timer stuff buddy, I resemble that remark!
;D Geez, get mad a ME cause your old. ::) ;) ;D ;D :P
QuoteYeah, I once had a car that was like your 4WD and snowmobile. It kept me in great shape. ;D
I CALL B.S. ! They didn't have cars back then. ;D
You're kidding me right?
According to that documentary series about life long ago (I believe it was titled "The Flintstones"), they've had auto-mobiles long before me ;)
Have to get mad at someone. My parents aren't around anymore so I can't yell at them for having me so long ago. ::)

damn rich kids can't handle the pressure their ultra successful parents put on them huh? :)
Rich kids? Hardly. More like a bunch of dope heads that sniff gas, smoke pot, and smoke peanut skins (don't ask.) But, Dan wasn't one of those. I didn't and never have done drugs. Smoked pot once, and it didn't do anything for me. So, I stuck with Beer and Cigarettes. ;D
QuoteSmoked pot once, and it didn't do anything for me.
Someone probably saw you getting on & off that short bus and picked you as a mark. They probably sold you oregano and parsley. ;D
;D
I told you there wasn't a bus. The short bus would've been cool though 8)
Quote;D So... did you meet Barney and Fred ???
I did meet one of your two childhood heros. I gave that big purple dinosaur a dope slap upside his big head. ;D

Nah, that was after my time. My childhood hero's were the Transformers. Optimus Prime rocked 8)

That does not look like the transformer hanging on the utility pole near my house! :o :o
QuoteSo, I stuck with Beer and Cigarettes. ;D
Oh yeah, that's sooooo much better. Besides, anyone who talks in the third person did drugs. :o ;D
You guys are silly,
;D
Hey Rosno, someone needs PJ and Dave to talk in third person. PJ and Dave are proud to say PJ and Dave aren't taking any drugs, hell PJ and Dave rarely drink unless its your beer and its Micalobe(SP.?) Ultra. As a matter of fact, this is a good time for PJ to tell all my pit buddies this summer its on, PJ is gonna not only race more but party like a 17yr old every night, and Dave you can babysit me.
As for reunions, never went to them. I was a jerk in High School, needless 2 say I haven't changed yet. So screw them idiots, don't go!
QuoteI bet it was uphill. Both ways. And you had to brave snow storms and wolves too ;D
Beaten to the punch! Dang!
QuoteLOL...are you still Catholic? Catholic schools have a way of really turning off the youngin's.
Who knows what is the correct take on a supreme diety? I figure there's good and evil. Call them what you will. Pick your side, and play accordingly.
Quote;D No short bus here. We didn't have a bus for a long time. Had to walk >:( I lived about half mile from the school.
Half a mile. Damn I wish I was a half a mile from school. Junior high I went to was 2 miles. Sophmore and senior year if high school was 1.5miles and my year 11 (aka junior year in the US) stay with my aunt down under was a 85km drive. Couldnt go to the school in Seymour, had to go to one in Eltham, VIC (a northwestern suburb of Melbourne). So dont go crying about a half mile walk. ;D
and you had to deal with them mean kangaroo's too :o
Quoteand you had to deal with them mean kangaroo's too :o
Kangaroos were nothing. Black snakes, an occasional taipan, browns, red back spiders and funnelwebs were another story. :o
You mean you guys didn't have elephants to ride on while in the outback :o ;D
QuoteYou mean you guys didn't have elephants to ride on while in the outback :o ;D
Nope just horses and the Toyota 4X4s. Next time I go back, I'll take ya with and introduce you to some people who make Steve Irwin look sane. ;D

Uhm.. I do believe that one time Australia had a British Queen. Am I incorrect on this? ???
Survey says.... [sound of buzzer]
#1 - You're wrong Dan. Because one is part of the U.K. or the British Commonwealth doesn't make one a Brit. Ask any Irishman, Scotsman or Jamaican ;) ;D
#2 - You're wrong Rob. Flatlander is a term folks in the Badger nation use to refer to people in Illinois. Danny boy is in the wolverine state (Michigan).
I have spoken 8)
