Classmizzates!
This is from an email I got from Classmates.com. Pretty high in cheese content, for sure.
It's the pseudo-letter written to Kelly Terry, from Sally McGuire. Here's what Kelly had to say: "Remember the homecoming game against Nebraska when we were seniors? We yelled so loud we couldn't talk for days. But we won!"
I have a lot of problems with that bit of outrageously phony dialog. Why would Kelly go to the trouble of emailing or contacting Sally -- to just say that? It's stupid. That's the kind of thing you might say to a close friend, who was there then, and who's with you right now -- but you're both together totally drunk at a bar or something. A sober person would not bother putting those words together to make that inane, useless combo of question, sentence and exclamation. What's the point? What's the attitude? Is it like, "Gosh, Sally Sue, we LOVE our Alma Mater SO much, and everything we say or do in regards that MUST show it! But we won! Jeez, but did we ever win, sis! We yelled so loud, I had to say 4 Our Fathers and 8 Hail Marys!! It was "ironical" (remember learning that word in Mr Shuytze's Literature class????) that what I sinned about was yelling so loud -- rooting on the team -- and my penance was to TALK more!!!! Woo-hoo! Yee-haa! 100% Phony!
