Not everybody can get away with including a quote from the doctor on his or her senior yearbook photo. It has to be the right one, and it will be even better if it isn’t one of the ones that everybody knows (at least among people that have watched the show, anyway).
This one isn’t bad, even if it does leave a little bit of confusion who might not get the reference. Still, it’s a lot cooler than some of the other choices (bow ties, anyone?). It has a certain amount of, what’s the word, energy to it? It’s dynamic. It’s got juice. It makes it seem like this kid is going to go places, even if those places are a little more dangerous than you might think.
Not Giving Himself Enough Credit
Ty seemed to be feeling a bit down on himself when it was time for him to come up with a quote for his senior yearbook photo. He eventually came up with something that seems a bit out of Greek mythology – it was said that the Greek deities would regularly consume their children if they didn’t want their heavenly thrones usurped.
This led to a whole host of problems for everyone, and was generally regarded as a bad idea. We don’t know why Ty was so adamant that he shouldn’t have ever had the chance to make it big in life, but we hope he’s doing okay. Like so many other senior quotes that have a little bit of raunch to them, there’s a small chance that this was all due to a prank, a bet, or a dare.
Just Have Someone Else Say It
Sometimes it can be difficult to talk about something that is very near and dear to your heart – something like your identity. Other times, it can be as easy as finding a show that wants to say the same thing and posting that moment – down to the very episode – in your senior yearbook under your picture.
Because originality is going down the toilet, and if you can’t quote something that somebody has already said, why even bother? Why worry about coming up with your own saying that will echo on down the ages? Why do you need to put precious brainpower into actually using your own words instead of just copying somebody who already did all that work (and such a complicated quote, too). Some people have TV to watch.
Another Entry into the Young Adult Fiction Genre
For those of us who are a little older, it can be strange seeing how much the younger generations use social media. It seems like every hour of the day they’ve posted a new status on X (once Twitter) or uploaded a new video of themselves on Instagram. And let’s not even get into Tik Tok. Daniela Shatzki seems to think that the stuff she posted online is good enough to be made into a paperback.
Was she posting deep thoughts about the state of our world? Fun pictures that show the Earth’s natural beauty? We don’t know, there’s no book yet. Once it gets published, we’ll be happy to get a copy and then not read it, just like all the other books we get. No, no, it’s not true, we could never not read a book.
Let All Mysteries be Revealed
Some may think that this was a savage prank pulled on poor...Marbury? Is his name Marbury? Poor guy. But, it’s far more likely that Sam and Marbury worked together to make this gag in the senior yearbook. Did Marbury just continue on with the test using only a pop-tart? We’re going to guess no.
When did Sam and his rapscallion friends have a chance to exchange a calculator for a breakfast food? How did Marbury not notice the swap taking place? Did he eat the pop-tart once he found out? How old was it? It’s far more likely that these two came up with a fun little joke to play on people who would open the yearbook later on. It’s not such a bad idea now that we think about it.
