In my best Sinatra voice … “It wasn’t a very good year.”

5. My grandfather died in my father’s arms which caused my father to have a heart attack (he lived through it though and is fine). Neither made it to my graduation.
4. Ronald Reagan was president (at least that was good).
3. Game six of the ’86 world series (another low point).
2. Got my first car … a Subaru hatchback (I know, just one tragedy after another).
1. Went on a trip with friends to Acapulco after graduation, where we were of legal age to drink! (at least my senior year came to a good close)

On my fifth one, were these supposed to be good memories, or just memories?

Because then if Great memories, then DARK KNIGHT takes the place of Indy IV.

Lars,

If justjack is right, then you had one fun Junior-Year!

Reminds me of South Park and the Mongorians.

Lars,

Those were good times, goooood times. I got 5 DVDs, 4 new socks, 3 oven mittens, two great books, and a partridge in a pear tree.

By the way, Lars wins the Award for Best Response.

School politics, Kit. He butted heads with the administration one too many times. He had actually been retired for years (and a legend in his field- one of his high school marching bands once performed at JFK’s inauguration), and just came out of retirement to go back to teaching because he loved it, so he was pretty much fearless when it came to saying what was on his mind. Got him in too much trouble, I guess.

He was an amazing guy, well into his 70s when I knew him but he had more energy and enthusiasm than most of the teenagers at the school. He also knew alot of people in showbiz. He actually got Gene Kelly to come down to our school once as a favor to help us choreograph some dances for a musical we were doing. I kid you not.

Um, Lars?

I think you confused senior-year with junior-year foreign exchange.

5. Driving my enemies before me.
4. Pillaging their houses.
3. Slaughtering their livestock.
2. Seeing the smoke of their burning villages.
1. Hearing the lamentations of their women.
