Why do class reunions spark new romances?

**intrepid27** · 10-13-2010, 09:10 AM

My buddy and I used to golf early on Sunday mornings at the local small town (Lowden) country club. On morning after a class reunion we found a stray bra on the first hole and, a matching bra and panties several holes later. Must have been some reunion !!! And we were talking about a class of probably 45 people max.

I never really watched Will & Grace, so all those jokes flew over my head. This is my actual opinion - and both my brother-in-law (who was one of my closer friends in HS) and I to this day regret going to it.

There really isn't anyone in my class that I'd tap at this point in time...

I hope not since you are happily married to a man who wears a kilt.

Also the woman who played Mrs. Poole on "Valerie's Family"/"Hogan's Family"...

Nice. She is one of those actresses that just appeared in a lot of different things for a while.

I went to my 5 year reunion and it was much as has been described. I talked to and hung around with all the people that I had stayed in touch with and still hung around with after graduating high school. I missed my 10 year.

My 15 and 20 year were a blast. I'd say we had about 40% attendance at both out of a class of 130 something. I got to see a few people that I honestly hadn't seen for 10 or 15 years. Those reunions were actually the opposite of what some of you are describing. The out of towners turned out in better numbers than the locals, and the locals that were there are successful people. I guess every class in every town is different.

Every class has one. The one at my 10-year is now a masseuse in Las Vegas, would have never guessed that one....

Side Note: My wife and I (who are 27 and 29 mind you) stole nametags and crashed a 1985 high school class reunion. I danced pretty much the whole time (not with my wife), not wanting to get caught. Best part of the night, **** you not, was when I walked by the bar and my wife overheard "I don't remember Ken being that good looking in high school!"

Ah yes, my mistake. The little voice in my head that reads movie lines read it wrong and lead me down the wrong path!

**trj** · 10-13-2010, 11:20 AM

Ferris Bueller, thats it.....bad job out of me.

You know why people hook up at reunions? Because people act fake and like they have money, and the opposite sex is attracted by that I'm sure.

My 10 yr was sometime in the last 2 years and their plans were to meet up at a restaurant that was crap back when I was in HS and has only gotten worse, then spend the night at the beer tent for our towns annual celebration so they could all get wasted.

I graduated early to get away from these people - not sure why I'd want to meet up with them to watch them all get drunk 10 yrs later.
