    2004 graduate here

    One of my classmates (who was actually a pretty close friend in middle school) ended up robbing some lady's house and then killing her when she happened to come home early

    Another one is a model, I guess? I know she's been in Maxim a few times. I don't know if that counts for anything

    Well my 10 year reunion is still about 3 years off. So I have time to drop weight and cure cancer thankfully.

    Hmm lets see so far from my school we have:
    a girl who went into porn, and was a playboy bunny for awhile and now is just sad. She was a very sweet girl in high school.
    Two of my archenemies are now in jail for selling drugs
    at least 4 veterinarians
    a handful of doctors
    and a bunch of people unemployed.

    I was voted most likely to succeed. I showed them.

    Madonna went to my high school.

    I did not go to school with Madonna (I am not that old).

    An Olympic gold medalist swimmer was in my graduating class (it is not Michael Phelps).

    Gorillas live up to 50 years or more in captivity, so yeah.

    Hey it's a pretty common fact that anything you don't think about stops existing. I mean why do tv shows get canceled after you stop watching them?

    ...certain characteristics which denote a public school. It has a perpetual foundation: a portion of its income is derived from charity: it is managed by a public body: no private person has any interest in the school: no profit was or is in the contemplation of its founders or managers: and, lastly, the object of the school is the benefit of a large class of persons. All these circumstances concurring, I think this institution may be said to be a public school.

    Right. All those factors result in the production of lifelong fast food workers over here, though.
    i just don't get it.

    Actually a lot of people in my class came out after graduation. We're from a small Iowa town so it's not too surprising that people hid it.

    But I want to say at least 10% of my class came out.

    Edit: not that that is bad or anything, but the statistic surprised me the more I thought about it.

    Our 10 year was several years ago. My wife wanted to go (as she was the same year, same school), but we weren't able to make it due to scheduling or something.

    I am honestly not disappointed at all. I really didn't care to go.

    Conversely, I went to a public school and so almost none of my classmates are well off.

    I went to a public school in South Florida so we had a pretty big mix of rich people and poor people. I was in all of the gifted programs in school and the people I'm still in touch with from those classes are all very successful. Dental surgeon, lawyer, etc...

    Me? I post on the Penny Arcade forums. Clearly I am the winner.

    I went to school with Grant Wistrom. He was a few years ahead of me though. He won a Super Bowl with the Rams.

    His brother was in my grade. I think he was drafted by the Bucs or something, but didn't pan out. Looking back on it, they were alright guys, but they weren't in my circle of nerds.

    I found another guy I went to school with on Family Watch Dog. Got in trouble for statutory sodomy. He used to sit at my lunch table.

    Anthony Henry went to my school. He was an ok Cornerback for a few different teams in the NFL. He was a senior when I was a freshman I believe.

    I also went to the same school as NEON DEION SANDERS for one year. Not at the same time obviously.

    It seems like almost everyone I went to High School with has multiple children. Some of them are now getting married, presumably to one of the parents of their multiple offspring.

    3 active NFL players that I'm aware of from my high school: Drew Brees (fuck yeah), Nick Foles (ehhhh) and Justin Tucker

    The only thing I know of was one of the kids in my grade was murdered a couple years ago.

    Let me tell you why:

    Turns out he (let's call him "Steve") would go on the casual sex part of craigslist and pretend to be a really hot woman and start email guys, or wait for them to email him. They would obviously be wanting to have sex with "her", but Steve would tell them in order to have sex with her, they would first need to go to this address and have sex with the person there and then afterwards she would allow them to come over to her place and have sex with her. That person, obviously, would be Steve. Apparently, lots of men agreed to this caveat.

    Anyway, after the sex, Steve would break off all contact with the men.

    Well, eventually one of the guys figured out he'd been duped into having sex with a man and decided to exact his revenge. By killing Steve.

    That is a little strange there... Sad he got killed, but still bizarre.

    That is...really weird.

    Also strange if these men clearly identified themselves as straight, but were willing to have sex with a strange man they had never met in the hopes of sleeping with a woman.

    I don't know if they all identified as straight, but this all happened in the Men Seeking Women section.

    public school means private school in the UK for some fucking reason

    that's my understanding

    anyway i went to a public school, by which i mean state-owned school, and it was notoriously better than the equally large private school across the road

    also we had a nobel prize winner and they didn't

    so hah

    Oh man. This is literally the Nigerian prince bank scam of casual sex.

    It's craigslist.

    I think a lot of the guys on that thing would put their dick in anything that agreed to it.

    sometimes even if they didn't agree to it.

    I still have another 4 years until the (supposed) 10-year anniversary.

    I actually switched schools after Freshman year, and moved a few towns south. There was a tennis coach from my old school that ended up starting at my new school too. From what I understand from some of the Tennis team from my old school, the guy had gotten "asked to resign" because he was watching the players shower.

    I would like to see how many of my fellow classmates actually went to college or earned past a BA.

    Not because that's an indication of success or anything. But I'm just kind of curious if the number would be surprising against the expected stereotype of that area.
