DerangedHermit 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2004 Here is a good article from Bill Simmons about yearbook quotes That guy who asked actually graduated with me (although, those jackasses spelt his name wrong - it's Busk). His Ambition quote ended up being: To be able to look back in ten years and say, "Wow, I have a lot of kids, and gee, my wife is hot." I didn't think of a good enough quote, though.

I dunno what I would've put, but it probably would've sucked I bet half my classmates would've fallen into rule #1 from Simmons' article and said "Wu-Tang Forever!"

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2004 I was reading my past high school yearbooks from when I was in grade 8,9,10. Damn, some people are very sappy. Fuck that. I'm using a light-hearted quote, and a funny message. I don't want to waste all my space thanking people. The people who have helped me know who they are, they don't need me making them feel special by naming them by name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For this offering of their lives made in common by them all they each of them individually received that renown which never grows old, and for a sepulchre, not so much that in which their bones have been deposited, but that noblest of shrines wherein their glory is laid up to be eternally remembered upon every occasion on which deed or story shall call for its commemoration.

Firestarter 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 Okay, seriously now. How big is the space that you guys got? The one that we will get won't fit more than like two fucking sentences. Very short ones at that. Each senior had half a page. Most people filled up theirs with photo collages; mine was handwritten. Our graduating class had about 22 kids in it, and the entire school from kindergarten to 12th grade was less than 700 people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BANKYWOOD Report post Posted April 5, 2004 Oddly, my yearbook quote was banned. I don't even remember what I put, but I'm one of the only ones who didn't have theirs published. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firestarter 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 Oddly, my yearbook quote was banned. I don't even remember what I put, but I'm one of the only ones who didn't have theirs published. A friend of mine had to change his yearbook collage because one of the graphics he used was some cartoon strip character saying "Sex machine." He pasted "Party machine" across the top, but badly, so when it was actually printed "Sex" showed through. The admins had a fit, but given that he'd already graduated they couldn't really do anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest stardust Report post Posted April 5, 2004 We didn't have quotes, we just listed everything we were involved in and any scholarships we'd gotten, etc. Needless to say, some of us had extremely long profiles, whereas a lot of people didn't have anything. Come to think of it, I didn't even get a senior yearbook. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2004 Well here's mine. Droogies!!! These four years went by quickly. I wouldn't know where I would be with out my Iron Maiden and Megadeth CD's, and to all the younger kids, support Heavy Metal and nothing else. To the very few Habs fans left here, we are the better team. Remember. Praise Heavy Metal, Mullets, and the Montreal Canadiens, and you'll get through HS. "Scuba" I won two joke awards, Who Can Be Heard Through The Halls, and Best Nickname. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest I Got Banned for Sucking Report post Posted April 6, 2004 At the end of the year, our school yearbook does small profiles on this graduating that year, with name, etc. You know, the basics, and including a quote. I don't know what I'll put for mine... Maybe: "You do not compete with Vince McMahon if you've only got one bullet in your gun, because if you hit him with one shot you're not going to kill him, you're only going to make him madder." - Hulk Hogan It's actually here. Sure, it would make no sense for a high school yearbook, but I love the quote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2004 I'll probably go with: "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the enequities of the weak and the tyrannies of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will sheperds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger...and you will know my name is The Lord...when i lay my vengeance upon thee." Or: "Party hard 'till we hit the floor, cuz we're the class of '04!" The dumb bitches in student council decided that was going to be our class motto....despite the fact that "04 Rocks More" was popular amongst the metalheads and "04 Smokes More" was popular amongst the stoners, we're stuck with this stupid TRL shit.
