[TrojanSkyCop1]

......so on the GreatReunions.Com Bio Page, under "Occupation," I'm putting "Pirate, er, Mercenary, er, Overseas Security Contractor." :approve:

[CaptBeach]

I put Pilot, Captain, SWAT COP, Body Guard, Mercenary, Defense Contractor and International Man of Mystery on mine...

You will be amazed when you go...all the "hotties" wont be and the ones you didnt even give a second thought to will "KNOCK YOUR SOCKS OFF" target rich environment...

And they STILL won't sleep with Chris...

Just messing with you, bro. My 10 was a ton of fun. By the time my 20 rolled around, I was already married with chillins. 30 was an eye opener.

[jdonne]

My 20th made me very happy with the choices I have made and the life I lead.

Indeed. I showed up at mine with my high school girlfriend, who is now my wife. Life is good.

Playa'-hata'! :dope: Wait 'til they see all the extra muscle I've put on my frame (I weighed 130 freaking lbs at my HS graduation!), not to mention all the pirate doubloons in me treasure chest, er, bank account, aaarrrr matey!

[strengverboten]

I didn't go to any of mine....no interest in catching up

:dunno:

Upon further reflection, I'm reminded of the movie Grosse Point Blank with John Cusack and Mitch Ryan, in which Cusack portrays a professional assassin attending his 10-year high school reunion......

[Talking to his psychiatrist about going to his high school reunion]Marty (http://www.warriortalk.com/name/nm0000131/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): They all have husbands and wives and children and houses and dogs, and, you know, they've all made themselves a part of something and they can talk about what they do. What am I gonna say? "I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork. How've you been?"


Mr. Newberry (http://www.warriortalk.com/name/nm0752751/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): What have you been doing with your life?
Marty (http://www.warriortalk.com/name/nm0000131/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Uh... professional killer.
Mr. Newberry (http://www.warriortalk.com/name/nm0752751/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Oh! Good for you, it's a... growth industry.

I didn't go to my 10th year reunion. The town police showed up , then the state police showed up along with paddy wagons. If I felt like hanging around with these people I'd do it on my own. I couldn't stand most of them then and probably couldn't stand most of them now.

:dunno:

Ditto. The only person from my high school that I would be remotely interested in talking to would be my former math/physics/creative writing/art/government/film study teacher (yeah, interesting guy), but he had the good sense to escape that school and flee the state the year after I graduated.

He was pretty happy to leave; I somehow doubt that he would show up to a reunion.

[Ragsbo]

I see one guy I graduated with (1979) every Sunday at church. The rest I didn't care that much about way back when and care even less about now.

[Netpackrat]

My HS class was too lame to organize a 20 year reunion last year. Probably didn't help that the hometown economy is sufficiently depressed that fewer than a half dozen out of the original 30 still live there. We had a blast at the 10 year reunion though; none of the negative personalities showed up.

My wife went to her 20 year reunion a few weeks ago. Said she got a real sense of justice out of how so many of the formerly hot/popular girls (who had been bitches to her) were most decidedly NOT anymore. And how the people who had been formerly popular still hung out together and acted snobbish, but that the rest of the normal folks still had a good time.

Damn, that sucks.

I can honestly say that my 10-year was a wonderful experience. Even people who I didn't get along with back in the school days were totally cool with me--of course, maybe it helped that I was the head honcho of the Reunion Committee...to quote Mel Brooks as King Louis XIV in History of the World, Part I, "It's GOOD to be the King!" :silly:

[Mossyrock]

I couldn't go to either my tenth or twentieth reunion; I was deployed for both of them. I did make it to my 30th. Interesting experience. It was VERY clear who in the crowd had made questionable lifestyle choices, be it drinking, drugs or smoking. The one thing that kept popping into my head was, "Who are all of these OLD people?!?" Maybe it's good genes or making the right choices, but I don't look ANYWHERE as bad as a good share of my class-mates. Some of the women who were hotties back in high school looked ROUGH! :yikes:

I forgot to add that I was 43 lbs more muscular than I was than I'd been at high school graduation, and being an active-duty USAF officer at the time, I wore my badge and ribbon-studded Service Dress (the Air Force's equivalent of Army Class A's) to enhance the effect....yeah, 'twas a bit of an ego trip for me, I must confess! :bliss:

[Winchester67]

OK, I was that guy that arrived with my 20 year old girlfriend to my 20th reunion. What a jackass. But two moments made it memorable...walking up to the most popular girl and introducing myself while apolgizing for not remembering her at all and walking up to Midge's wife ignoring him completely and starting the conversation with "I am sure you have never heard this before, but did you know your husband had one of the three fastest cars in Columbia?"

[jmac_52]

I've been to too many, I suppose. The thing that stands out most is that the girls who were the hotties in high school can now be used for concealment.....as most of them are nearing the 300 pound mark. What the Hell happened?

[mattb]

Two things made my 20th enjoyable: the people who were snotty to the poor but smart kid (me) getting to see me park my Porsche, and then allowing them to see me press the elevator button that was marked "PH". I definitely got a chuckle out of it.

Perfect!

I went to a prep school on a ranch in Colorado. Most of the other students were quite wealthy, and knew it. I was there on a full academic scholarship, which included all the spending money I could reasonably use, but some of the kids were real twits about the whole class-divide thing.

So it was a great pleasure at my 20th, when they were all going on about their uber jobs working too hard for someone else, and their expensive mortgaged homes, and how much better their second (or third) spouses were than their first to reply to the scoffing question "so, what do **you* do" with a simple "Oh, pretty much anything I want to, I'm retired now..."

The look on their faces when it was announced my wife was being appointed to the Board of the School was pretty cool too. She also attended on an academic scholarship.

[Jack Rumbaugh]

I think the "I'll show them" way of thinking is self-destructive.

I'll show you, dood!:tongue:

Which all goes to show (in the spirit of the Warrior Bon Vivant Forum), LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE!

This all seems rather immature....who cares what they think.

So I get a negative comment for this.......Really! It is appears this whole reunion thing is a big deal to someone!

[EDELWEISS]

I started in the high school that was closest to my parents home. I was on the Fencing and Shooting Teams (carried my rifle back/forth to school). I took Latin classes and read Shakespeare in English class. Then I was "desegregated", that's liberal speak for "busing" in reverse. I was forced to go to another school. They didn't have Fencing or Shooting teams; but they did have an A conference "basketball team". They didn't teach Latin; but they did offer Swahili, (Hujambo bwana). Jesse Jackson came to the school to give a motivating speech, for some of the students. Our valedictorian did NOT have the best grades; but she did give a speech about "Her" people being treated unfairly.

I didn't go to the proms. I didn't buy my school ring or year book AND I didn't go to the reunions. Im not even sure if they had any or if there were enough still alive or not serving time to have one. They don't call it Bodymore Murderland fo nuttin.

Likely true, but as another who went to boarding school with very little money and was there because my parents worked there and I worked several jobs to pay for it I understand.

I have yet to make it to a reunion and was in Chicago at a can't be skipped meeting during my 20th, but maybe one of these days.
