Senior Pictures

There seems to be a lot of graduation chitter chatter in my social circle lately that has caused me to reflect.  I remember when I was a senior in high school and I thought the whole world revolved around me.  We were top dog at that point, everyone fussing around us wondering what we were going to do next as if there were any way to top such scintillating memories such as barely getting asked to Prom and learning to drive from a guy who looked like a cross between Neil Diamond and a porn star.  I couldn't figure out what everyone was so excited about but it still went a little to my head.  I'm not anxious to illustrate how bad it got but suffice it to say that one night I went to the movies with my friends and when I saw there was a senior discount, I thought they were talking about ME.  True story.  See how smart I was by the time I graduated?

The graduation / senior chatter continued the other day when I heard some radio personalities talking about senior portraits and a website that is dedicated to the worst ones of all time.  You know I had to look them up, right?  And you know I have to post some here so you could see them too, right?  Naturally.

Pedro got a little cocky after he was voted President.  He did, however, make all of their dreams come true:


Once Tristan's audition for Clash of the Titans went awry he passed his time waiting tables at Chili's:


In a couple more years he'll be singing backup for Menudo:


Jeffrey Dahmer?  Is that you?


Hang Hunan became a regular contributor to the Fans of Pokemon website and holds weekly anime rallies in his basement:


Ring In His Nose's mother promised him this wouldn't end up in the yearbook.  It did.  We're pretty sure he went back to the reservation after that.


Rick never made it to the NFL.  He still attends the high school football games.


Ronnie is now 42.  He has never had a girlfriend but he has seen "Sixteen Candles" so he's halfway there.  He's hoping to find his soul mate at the next Comic-Con convention.


Eric drowned in the Caribbean.  He forgot to shut his mouth and take off the tux.  His parents were devastated.
