Do you NOT know your Ferris Bueller's Day Off? :confused:

Grace: Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, ****heads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.

It was woman who played the mom from Small Wonder. I think it was used as a radio segway on a sports station in Chicago too.

I was my class president senior year and didn't know I was supposed to plan a class reunion. So, I didn't for our 10 year. The only people in my class that I wanted to see I run into from time to time. The others, I didn't enjoy them in high school and figured I wouldn't now.
That being said, there's a few I'd still like to throw a shot into.

Didn't one of them get involved with this!

I went to my 10 year reunion a few years back. Even if I wasn't married there wasn't a single woman there that I would have "hit" - that night or back in HS. The people that showed up for our reunion would be what Grace might have called "The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, and ****heads". It had this feel of everybody that showed up to the reunion had already been hanging out with each other every other weekend to get ****-faced since HS, and me just going to college and making something of my life made me more of an outsider than I ever was in high school. Ironically all of the really popular girls in my HS class also happened to be the really smart girls, so they were probably too busy living their successful lives to show up for their 10 year reunion. Looking back I wish I had taken their cue and have no desire or intention of showing up to any other reunions in the future.

After the Will & Grace jokes I'm not sure if this is your real opinion or not, but if it is I agree. I decided not to go to my 5 year reunion this year and heard reports from a friend who decided to go. He told me it was the class president plus all the people who were never quite able to make it out of our hometown and him of course.

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.

Yikes. TMI at my last reunion (20) where I learned one of my classmates is now carrying on with the old PE teacher in a very public affair.

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

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

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.

The once flat chested girl with acne, big dorky glasses, bony legs, and nappy hair, has now grown and developed her boobies, gotten rid of her acne, has contacts, can now fill out her jeans with a fit butt, and has a sexy hair style.

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

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!

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.
