High School Sharpie Wisdom, Part III

I've got a lot of high school wisdom to fit in this third and final post, so let's get straight to it.

Ladies and Gentlemen...America's future!

In all fairness, I'm reasonably certain that the girl who wrote this was using tongue-in-cheek humor.

And if not, well, she'll have developed a healthy alchohol tolerance to prepare her for college.

You really can't beat a good Soup Nazi reference.

It even comes complete with an illustration.

I enjoyed this signing significantly more than the student who thought a swastika on the belly of a pokemon was a clever idea.

As always, there's a thin line between funny and stupid.





Well said.

I also think happiness comes from understanding that the love of rock should compel them never to watch the "Rock of Love."

Or to ever listen to a Bret Michaels "song."





This was my first rooftop signing and, wouldn't you know it, the student had to cross a letter out.

It's not a big deal, but I feel like the pedestrians just won't fear me as much if they know I can't get things done right the first time.





This message is pretty profound.

Wait...

No it's not.

Or is it?

Let me check Wikipedia. It'll have the answer.




I vowed not to have any more teacher signatures, but Mrs. Moore was the one who invited me, and I am a sucker for a good Thoreau quote.

He and the Soup Nazi are my greatest influences, you know.



I visited the high school right after the Presidential elections, so there were a lot of political comments on the van.

Some were for Obama. Some were for McCain.

One student, apparently, preferred a third party candidate named Nobma.



Pen enthusiasts, DO NOT enter this into your url. Most of you will be sorely disappointed.

My high school visit brought the maturity level of my van down considerably because, for every profound quote or meaningful message of encouragement, there were three dick jokes.

This signature narrowly edged out "The pen is mightier than the sword" and "The meaning of life is vaginas and balls because you can't make life without either" for my "Sophomoric humor that I wish didn't make me laugh" award.


That's all for now, ya crazy kids.

Until next time, this has been

After an absence from your blog lengthy enoughgh to rid us both from trying sorry excuses for our recollections' shortcomings here am I again, eager to read and see fresh stuff along with everything missed.
However, I have just read your last post and nothing further (or backwards, if you prefer so).
Is it time for me to have my glasses changed (upgraded, of course) or are some of the photos here really hard to read? I did try but simply couldn't read everything.
On most occasions i found your comment than the very thing commented on. My favorite was that thing about the line between ... and stupid.

Thanks for checking back in. I'm glad you enjoyed the blog and sorry you had difficulty reading some of the photos, though I think I can help you with that problem. If you click on the photos, they'll come up full screen and should be much easier to read.

Also, if you want to follow the blog but don't have the time to read everything, I recently wrote a "best of" of sorts, complete with links to some of the blogs I'd recommend the most. You can check those out at this link:
