At first blush, it seems like this quote from everyone’s favorite bumbling cartoon dad Homer Simpson is just a throwaway line that doesn’t make any sense as a senior yearbook quote. And, for the most part, it is. But when you really sit down and think about it, there could be another meaning.
Maybe Mia, who made the conscious decision to quote Homer Simpson under her senior picture, was amazed that she was actually able to get through the entirety of high school. Then again, her little Twitter/X postscript under the picture itself makes us think that she just thought the quote was funny. We suppose that’s as good a reason as any, and probably a lot better than reasons for some of the other quotes on this article, now that we think about it.
It's Not Just the Students
Uh oh, the quote madness has spread to the teachers of the high schools! Soon nobody will be safe. This teacher decided to drop a little quote from Childish Gambino about...getting lots of tail? And how the person she’s speaking to is fake? What? Why? Who fell asleep at the wheel to allow this teacher to leave such a quote?
No, wait, we think we know what happened here. This was the teacher that was in charge of the yearbook club, and the students that were part of that club decided to pull a sneaky on her. Instead of the normal quote that she wanted – or even if she didn’t supply a quote to them – they decided to put in something that was out of character. Well, we hope that she liked it anyway.
How to Really Succeed at Failure
Kiegan Lee wanted to let everybody in her high school – or anybody that decides to open her senior yearbook for that matter – that she isn’t going to stop until everybody is talking about how big of a failure she is. She wants to be a failure on a COSMIC SCALE. She doesn’t just want to aim for the stars, no way.
Those are super far away and that seems like it would be really hard. How about the moon? Yeah, that’s way closer. Oh, no, wait. Lots of other people have already been to the moon. We got it. The sun. You can use a solar panel on your car for free energy all the way there. But what about at night, when the sun goes down? Easy, just get out and push.
Able to Hear the Sick Animals Coming
Jose Serna is interested in going into veterinary medicine, and he’s going to have a big advantage over some of the other people in his class of vet school – he’s going to have hearing sensitive enough to pick up those really high-pitched sounds that bother dogs. We’re not sure how it will be an advantage, but it’s bound to help somehow.
He even mentions his big ears in his senior yearbook photo and says that somehow they give out a better signal than the school’s WI-FI. We’re not sure how they will give off a better signal, but they certainly seem prepared to pick up plenty of signals. You know, wireless, bluetooth, AM/FM radio, shortwave, those kinds of things. But don’t talk about it too much, he can probably hear us right now.
Playing to Her Strengths
There are some places out there that are desperate for people of color to step in and make them more diverse. Even better if those people of color happen to be good workers or students, but that’s not all that important. Anastasia is getting in on the action as soon as possible by getting the word out about her minority status.
Bit of an odd move to pull in a high school senior yearbook – something that prospective employers aren’t all too likely to see – but maybe there’s some background information that we aren’t privy to. Well, no matter what else there is in the background of this quote, Anastasia is a professional ready to enter the workforce. Reasonable rates for anybody that is looking for a minority on their team!
