...they have Preschool graduations? not at the preschools my family went to, and you'd think they would, being Montessoris and all. My school had "Moving Up" ceremonies for 5th and 8th graders. We also had "Convocation" at the beginning of the year for Seniors, which I'm told is not usual. We wore our gowns and everything.

My year, an english teacher gave a speech about how you shouldn't use the words Retarded or Nigger in any context. It was pretty awesome. It was a good message, but perhaps out of place? I was really mad, though, because the speakers seemed to get worse and worse every year. Mostly because the first year my Latin teacher, probably my favorite teacher ever, gave a speech about the need for religion/spirituality in life, and it was the best and most moving speech I've ever heard.

For my graduation (not my 5th grade, 8th grade, or first semester of tenth grade graduation, I mean My Graduation), the decision was made not to have a guest speaker, but instead to have a Class Poem recited. I think this was because the class leadership wasn't willing to put forth the effort in finding a speaker, and pisses me off to this day. The best/worst part of the fiasco came when, prior to the Class Poem being read by its author, a member of the school board made some remarks, and included some imagery (about aiming for the moon, because if you miss, you'll still be among the stars) that ended up being the Big Emotional Moment of the poem - with the result that the poem was completely deflated by the time it was read.

I forget who spoke at my graduation. I feel like he was pretty good, but everyone else hated him... but I don't remember a single thing he said, or who he was.

I really think they should completely do away with addresses at graduation ceremonies. They're completely unnecessary, nobody really learns anything from them, no one remembers them, and we're all sitting in heavy robes in the hot sun and we should just get on with it. I think it would make graduations a much more bearable experience for everyone involved.

Lady and the Tramp continuity error No. 5: In the bistro scene, Tramp remarks on his love for tarragon, yet earlier in the film it is established that dogs cannot taste tarragon.

There were over 900 kids in my graduating class. Sitting in a folding chair for 3 hours in the blisteringly hot May sun in Colorado was torture. God, it was awful. I hate ceremonies.

I skipped all my graduations after sixth grade and never regretted it for a minute. Of course I'm also the kind of person who got married in a justice of the peace's living room with no witnesses and would have preferred if it were possible to do it by mail, so your mileage may vary.

Are these Lady and the Tramp posts getting more surreal every time? It sounds like he's really going to lose it if he watches that movie one more time. But I realized that I am not sure I understand the problem. If you, like, read a magazine while sitting and 'watching' a movie with your child, will the county come and take her away?

I attended a graduation ceremony at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts on Friday and there weren't any speechs.  Well the Dean and some dude from the school board spoke briefly and the valedictorian also said a few words, but that was it.  Instead of speeches all the seniors performed in their various fields.  It was really entertaining.  Especially the jazz band.

The Voodoo Doughnut shop? Do they allow polygamy all up in there? How about polyandry? Because I couldn't find an honest man up here, I hope to find veritable cornucopia of eligible fellas when I hit Denver.

I'm perfectly willing to marry you, but I'm not going all the way to Denver for . . . you know.
