The Big Day
Congrats!
You are today employable.
Your girlfriend is so adorable, Ib. Also, I'm guessing the blonde is your sister? I love her purple dress.
They make an adorable couple, don't they?
not just employable, ut - employed full time all summer at $8.40 an hour!
clod - yeah, thats katie, the little brat... chloe agrees with you about her dress too, though.
Wow - all growed up.
Congrats on this graduation Ibs, hope you're still around (in the Cellar I mean!) to share the next one with us.
Blimey - that must be coming up fast for you, leaving the 'rents and coming back to the US.
Luck for the future.
Oh and you and your Dad look so cute together.
Very nice. I like the beard. :D
Congrats to you, sir. You have definitely earned all the admiration, although you have been getting scarce around here as of late, so we may need to have a word with said GF.
Seriously, Congrats - very nice lookin family - they should be proud - we are.
clod - yeah, thats katie, the little brat
How little? :angel:
Very nice. I like the beard. :D
Now, now . . . :cool:
Congrats Ib!
Good lookin' family, and you're such a cute couple. Aw!
Congratulations!
Your pic with Dad totally made me snort water on my keyboard.
Bravo!
Well Dwellars we've raised another one, where is the next project?

Nicht so schnell (the only phrase I remember from German class)
He's still going to need a lot of support through college.
Congrats Ibby. I assume college is next. Where're you going?
Congratulations, Ibram! Good luck with the next chapter of your life.
Oh that's so brilliant! Honestly, I feel quite choked up. You look super smart all gowned up like that kiddo. And your girl is gorgeous. You got the lot :P
[eta] that last pic is a real beaut. And you look so...sorry to say it, cliche and all, but grown up.
Oh and you with the damn sneakers again - j/k
Nice work. Nice family. Nicely done. :)
I'll bet there was a lot fewer people making a huge noisy fuss over their pals as they walked across the stage at your graduation than there were at my kid's. Four different people (starting with the President of the School Board and working down to regular students) asked the audience four different times, in four different ways, to please refrain from whoopin' and hollerin' at individual graduates in order to keep from disrupting the proceedings, but certain induhviduals just gotta make it all about them.
Cops threw 'em out as they did it, and after awhile, the assholes would make an even bigger fuss than the assholes before, then stand up and walk out...usually with a certain "fuck you all" swagger to their departures. Do I *have* to tell anyone that there was a certain co$mmon ethnicity to 90% of the assholes, BTW? I'm sure that this is a mere cultural difference of which my WASP ass is simply intolerant. Probably a perfectly valid display of social communication, like murder and robbery and carjacking, and I'm just a prejudiced dickhead.
End of disgusted rant. Ibs, way to go, bro. I used my HS diploma to roll joints on for a few years. I trust you'll find a better purpose for yours.

Snorting coke?
Congratulations Ibby! I haven't caught up with all of the threads, so which college did you choose?
My friends son will be starting at Arcadia (Beaver) in the fall. My son just graduated from Neumann College (University).
Ah yes, Beaver College, which used to be an all-girl's school.

You look awesome Ibs! You always make go "awww" and wanna smother you with hugs. I'm glad you got to have a good day on the graduation, I hope you responsible that night :P
@Elz...we had people with airhorns at my, my sis's (HS and college!) and my bro's graduation. Our ceremony was inside. Fortunately there were only a few. I can understand how hard it is for some people to not go wild for their individual. I do agree that its rude and inconsiderate to the rest. I would not agree to the ethnicity part...the airhorn carriers were white.
Bennington College in the fall. Any new england dwellars out there?
Best of luck and congratulations!
WTG Ibby. The world is your oyster, kiddo!
Ibby! I give you the claps on your graduation!
YAYYAYAYAYYAYAY!!!!!!

Always wondered why that would be a good thing.
Why not say the world is your ring-tailed lemur?
:D

A watch would have been a better gift. lol!!!

Sometimes you find surprises in oysters. You might find a surprise in a ring-tailed lemur, but you probably left it there, and I would be wary of such a find. :rolleyes:
Also, oysters take in grit and use it to create pearls.
If the world is your oyster, it will take all the shit you have to feed it, and give you something wonderful in return.
That's the way life goes, right?

You mean at the core of all the good in life is shit? :D
Ask a dung beetle
To the beetle, the dung IS the pearl.
I would not agree to the ethnicity part...the airhorn carriers were white.
I can only report what I observed. In a school where the ratio is about 50/50, 90% of those making a big outburst were of a single ethnicity. I do not offer this as an indictment of an entire race, just the local examples at that place and time.
Ah yes, Beaver College, which used to be an all-girl's school.

As was Bennington..
Bennington College is a liberal arts college located in Bennington, Vermont, USA. The College was founded in 1932 as a women's college focusing on arts, sciences, and humanities. It became co-educational in 1969.
Beaver went co-ed in 1972. I could have gone there a few years after that. The ratio would have been at least 5:1.

If he'd wanted oysters, he should have picked a school in a different New England state.;)
'69 was the year that several women's colleges switched positions.

I'm very skeptical. I'll have to see some examples.
I went to the Case Institute of Technology -- 5:1 in the other direction. :thumb:

Aren't you supposed to use an album cover for that? Like one of Yes' double albums?
