It's a Miracle!
Have ya yeard? Someone saw Jesus on an Easter egg in Colorado. Holy shit. It’s a fucking miracle. Zzzzzzzz. Please people. Do you really think the Prince of Peace, Son of God himself, would choose to present himself in the form of vinegar & water dye on an hard-boiled chicken embryo in Colorado? Give me a break and please, please, please get a life.

The Boy got his class ring yesterday. The high school made a big deal of it and had a ceremony. Personally, and call me an insensitive bastard, I thought it was all quite silly. The Boy did too, and wasn't at all pleased with having to go. Some people took it way too seriously, dressing up in their best clothes for the affair. Some of them were way inappropriately dressed. Come to think of it, I think I saw some of them at the BEP concert on Sunday. Some parents hired professional photographers. Some bawled like their child was going off to war. Like I said -- Silly.
The whole thing lasted for over an hour. The Warden even got a little misty eyed about the whole affair, which embarrassed The Boy and pleased me because she tries to come off as a tough chick :-) I'm not sure what was more entertaining -- The Boy’s embarrassment or The Warden’s mist over a class ring :-) We all had fun though. Even The Girl was making the best of it.
We went out to dinner afterward at a place called Henry’s Puffy Tacos. The girl got an enchilada plate, and the rest of us got the Steak Tampiqueña (pronounced tahm-pee-cane-ya). Delicious.

Memory Du Jour:
1973, Arizona
Riding my bicycle to see Lou Ann Fuller, my first girlfriend, so we could hide behind a mount of dirt on their desert property and kiss. She lived around 75th Avenue and Deer Valley Road, about 4 miles or so from my house. Long bike ride for an eleven-year-old.
But hey...I was “in love,” and she was hot dammit!

I think the ceremony was a bit silly! So if a family couldn't afford a ring, was the purpose of having the ceremony to make the poor feel bad? Was the school perhaps making money off the rings and this is their way of promoting it? When I was in high school, we just picked them up in the cafetorium at lunch. I guess you could say we at least had food at our "ceremony".(A cafetorium is a cafeteria/auditorium).
"But I think your a cunt" ROTFLMAO, I love it! That made my day.
What wonderful parents you and the Warden must be to even make it to a class ring ceremony. I would have passed on that one never having heard of it. Sounds like it was well worth it.
yeah the cderemony sounds a bit over the top!!!
omg, that's funny - when we got our class rings...we got our class rings. No party or ceremony. that sounds ridiculously gay! lol
I forgot about class rings until I read this. Yeah, definitely a money-making venture for the school and the ring maker. I'm sure I bought one (probably pressured into it), but know I never wore it, and can't find it for the life of me. And if I did find it, I'd probably return it to wherever I found it and never look at it again.
At least you had some bloggable moments out of it, and dinner sure sounded good. Thanks for the pronounciation.
It sounds like they made a big deal out of it.. About the warden crying, I don't think it was about the ceremony if I had my guess.. I would think it is about pregnancy, birth, changing diapers, protecting, nurturing, games, making cookies, discipline, kisses, and having to let go....
A ceremony for a ring? What the hell is this world coming to?
CoolSponge: When I figure out the reason for the ceremony I’ll be sure to post. Cafetorium. Nice ;-) Never heard of one of those before.
Y: I knew you’d appreciate the picture! It cracked me up. I’ve had it for a while and have been waiting for a time to use it!
Nay: Over the top is right. I never got a class ring, but don’t recall it ever being a big deal. Personally, I never really understood the point of a class ring. I mean, if I’d opted for a high school class ring, I sure as hell wouldn’t be wearing it today.
WebMiz: Ridiculously gay about sums it up!
Stringman: Money making is right. The Boy’s ring cost $600!!!!!
Kimbo: I think you’re right. Deep down inside I think I knew that, but it took a woman to make me realize it :-) Thanks.
Jules: 2nd sign of the Apocalypse!
