We apparently have a class clown on our hands, and he’s taking that appellation as far as he can in his senior yearbook photo. How many other people would be able to get away with wearing denim overalls with no shirt on and a messy amount of clown makeup? If your answer is Leatherface, then you’ve touched upon one of the other strange parts about this picture as a whole.
Why would a graduating senior – even one who seems to enjoy doing strange things for the laughs, talk about cannibalism? David Foster Wallace was a famous writer, and the quote comes from his most famous piece, “Infinite Jest,” which is regarded as one of the best American novels ever. Maybe the clown is a little more well-read than we thought.
Please Stop Calling Me
Kids these days – and even people getting up toward their thirties – love the show “Spongebob Squarepants.” Lots of people do, even if it has gotten on plenty of parent’s nerves due to how much it’s on the TV. A couple of kids decided to have some fun with the senior yearbook quotes.
Gal on the left is the caller, guy on the right picks up the phone. The names have been covered over in order to protect their identities, but how great would it be if the guy on the right was actually named Patrick? It would almost be too good to be true. We’re trying to look at the tiny bit of text we can see, but we can’t see anything concrete. If anything, the little bit we have might just shoot the theory down.
Dad, Did You Change My Senior Quote?
We could say that this is yet another example of a little bit of humor in a senior yearbook, or that it’s another example of Asian parents having a stereotypical desire for their children to go above and beyond at school, but there is another option.
Maybe this dad was just so darn proud of his son that he wanted to say that he was the best, and that he was proud of him. What better way to say so than to say that he had the top grade? Sure, the delivery could have been adjusted a little bit, since it still seems like the dad is way too interested in his son’s grades, but it’s certainly possible that this is just a well done son kind of line.
We Think That’s Illegal
Yet another example of someone not even having the ability to come up with a bad quote on their own – Miss Ybarra had to copy from a show that literally everybody has seen at least a couple of times. That moment of that episode of “The Office” shows us main character Michael Scott saying he “should have burned the place down when I had the chance,” which makes us think a couple of things.
One, Layla is glad to be away from high school, and two, all her teachers and fellow students and maybe even the custodians are glad she’s out of there, too. Obviously, Layla couldn’t say that she actually wanted to burn the place down in her yearbook, but you think that the people putting it together would at least take a look.
Well, Time to Go to College
It’s true – Disney has filled our young heads with an endless list of lies. From handsome princes to beautiful princesses to wishing upon a star and everything else that we’ve gotten used to, they just don’t have the truth in their mouths. Matthew Evans grew up on a steady diet of “High School Musical” movies, which left him with a lot of ideas about how things were going to go.
They truly were not all in this together. Maybe it’s because Mr. Evans looks a little bit like Screech Powers from “Saved by the Bell.” Don’t worry, Matt. College will allow you to find a whole lot of people who are far more willing to have your back, and there aren’t even any lockers to be shoved into.
