lol high school

L'habit ne fait pas le...

Frenchies shortening/screwing up the name of a local Native American tribe is the most likely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moingona

Sauvages dégoûtants, etc...

I still don't speak french!

Still trying to dig up high school photos.

I went to Lincoln High School. We were the "Railsplitters" due to Abraham Lincoln's widely known railroad days.

I was in orchestra, did a couple science fairs, and Academic Decathlon. I also had really long hair in a ponytail and kept to myself.

i was in acadec too!

i was the highest-scoring C student in the country: the smartest dumb kid.

have I ever told you guys about my high school's former mascot

they were forced to change it in 1986

ok I guess everybody gave up, our mascot was the challenger. the space shuttle.

ohhh....

thats nothing, my high school's mascot was the twin towers

that's nothing, my high school's mascot was the titanic

I went to college in Columbia, Mo., now known as Freedom Space Shuttle, Mo.

the university of hawaii teams used to be called THE RAINBOW WARRIORS and sort of still are, but they replaced the rainbow with a stylized H ft. hawaiian iconography and allowed each sport to choose their own name and there was this huge complicated fight over it between 1) the university, 2) hawaiian activists opposing the use of the iconography and 3) football players who had been complaining for years about being called the rainbow warriors

yeah each sport has a different name:

This has led to the current situation, where the basketball, swimming and diving, and tennis teams have retained the team name of "Rainbow Warriors;" the baseball team adopted the name "Rainbows;" and the football, golf, and volleyball teams have adopted the name "Warriors."

also hi DLH we dont interact much but i live in hawaii

The Arkansas Tech women's teams are the Golden Suns. They've got this nice vibrant logo and everything. For a team out of Russellville, Ark., it almost makes them sound exotic.

The men's teams, like the football team? THE WONDER BOYS.

goole, did I know u were from Pella??? I don't know if I did! Never been there but as someone from the OTHER Dutch heartland, you have all my sympathies.

my dudes

Academic Decathlon - never even heard of this! We didn't have it but it sounds like something I would have been into. Not only was I in orchestra but I also had a jacket like a letterman jacket, red with white leather sleeves, but instead of a sport it said ORCHESTRA on the back. Yeah. I was p cool.

oh Jesus, I was in orchestra, but never in my life would I have worn a letter jacket.

I know. But listen, I went to an all girls' Catholic HS. I had no clue what was cool and what wasn't until I made friends on the outside in jr and sr year by which point I'd def stopped wearing the damn thing. Oh it totally had my name on the front too.

It had a big-ass harp on the back too.

*hangs head in shame*

That 60's illustration on roxy's flyer is driving me crazy, I know I've seen it before. It looks very Beth and Joe Krush.

Technically the summer after HS but

I look like a cross between T'Pol and Steve-O from Jackass -.-

corey, judging from this photo and the ones on wdyll, you have aged perfectly.

I'd agree if it weren't for the fact I'll probably be bald by 30 and completely grey by 35. Ah well.

That doesn't mean it's not still points perfectly stuck on a graph

:)

my shitty pop punk band from high school has hit the net!!!!

"THE GRUBBIES"

excellent! did you ever play a show with The Grumpies? They were from Mississippi.

Would totes rock out at a Grubbies/Grumpies show.

My mother should probably have been arrested for abuse for dressing me like her clone. This pics kind of scares the crap out of me. I was a freshman in HS so 14. You can say I was a late bloomer. lol.

you're being strangled by an ostrich!!

jk sorry

hhahaha!

omg, Erica. omg.

holy shit

GUYS I KNOW

well damn it's not THAT bad!

lol

i don't know, looking that much like your mom at 14 is kind of awful. i mean, i had big indie-rock glasses and listened to crust-punk, which is equally embarassing, but in a completely different way.

i must say, tho, it is kind of cute. and everyone in that pic has a winning smile.

(i mean, looking like your mom isn't awful, just dressed and be-glassesed like her.)

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

x-post

We were happy cause we were in fucking Mexico. lol.

Yeah it's just the same hair same glasses etc. that freaks me out. I was a really young 14 year old though and didn't really start doing my own thing for like another year after this. I just didn't realize quite how much of a clone I was until I found this a couple weeks ago.

i think given her druthers my mom would have dressed me just like her, too. she would always suggest i buy stuff she would wear when we went shopping. i don't think it was sinister, just a lack of imagination.

Yeah see I think her mini-me from from birth to 15 sort of made me go off the deep end which is how I wound up with purple hair and dressed in head to toe thrifted polyester stuff a year later. Also NAVGL but in a diff way entirely.

Also why were those glasses so big?! I blam Sally Jesse.

ice cr?m i think we would have been friends.

iirc ernest hemingway's mom made him dress like her

my mom's collection of Ferragamos and Balenciaga in the 80s would have made me one very faggoty looking little boy. i liked wearing tight Superman shirts and sleeveless things with words like POW on them, at least until i was 9 or 10.
