Gradumatation
Ah, it's that time of year: high school graduation. The class of '05 has been released upon the world. Where are they going? What will they do with themselves?
One of my strangest memories is of a railroad bridge next to the Speedway off 33 in Carroll, Ohio. On the bridge someone had spray-painted "CLASS OF '76" in big white letters, and it has remained there since, I would presume, 1976. Whoever did that is nearly 50 years old now. I often think about what the guy who did that so many years ago is doing with himself now. Was that a high point, or a low point? Only he knows.
But enough about that. Let's take a look at the graduation photos published in the Eagle-Gazette:
This is a girl who graduated from Bloom Carroll HS, the home of the Bulldogs. This is just my own experience, but I think posing with those big block letters is s-t-u-p-i-d. They're so ugly. I feel like it's one step above having your baby pose with those colored oversized blocks that have the letters of the alphabet on them. You're a high school graduate! Get like the theory of relativity on there or something. But I'm one to talk. I did my graduation photos posing with my car (The Shaggin' Wagon) with my cat Sam in the back window - but that was only fair, he was there the first day I left for kindergarten.
On the other hand, this girl, from Berne Union HS, can pose any way she wants. I bet her dad is none too happy about this particular outfit. Not that I am complaining. I am a dirty old man, after all.

Welcome to the Club. Before you're officially inducted, please confirm that you already noticed how phallic that canoe looks.
