Facebook Trippin’
01 March 2010 | By Dave in UncategorizedI found my old high school yearbook the other day. I can’t tell you how happy I am that we had no social networking back then. Usually, your yearbook is the only record of how awful we looked and how goofy we all were (are?). With that in mind, I’ve come up with a list of Facebook status updates that most certainly would have been a part of Facebook had it been around back then (if COMPUTERS had been around back then…) I have combined some of the words and phrases that my classmates used in signing my yearbook with some of the common things we used to say. These are flat out embarrassing to read and even funnier to say. Feel free to add your own.
*In detention today. We’ve got a narc in class
*Time to split for the concert. I’m stoked! Check ya later
*My Mom needs to take a chill pill
*Man, I’m really feelin’ shot down
*My mood ring is trippin’ me out
*Help I’ve Fallen’ and I Can’t Get Up
*Catch You on the Flip Side
*Hope Everything’s Copasetic
*Do me a Solid and Tell Me where you get your crazy threads
*Catch Ya on the Flip Side (actually verbatim from my yearbook)
I’ll look forward to you adding to my list. In the meantime,
*Time to Blow This Taco Stand (again, written verbatim from my yearbook ;~)

Hey Dave–So loving your blog post- Definitely love your yearbook quotes- I think I said all of those- pretty scary when you hear them again, but funny how you may unconsciously pull one out and my younger friends instantly think I am from another planet- oh yes I am pretty sure I thought the same thing of the 30, 40 and 50 something crowds back then!!
Hi to Carole and KB- gearing up for the radiothon!!
Catch you on the flip side!! Cindy

I remember, “Time to blow this taco stand” - though I haven’t heard that phrase is 20 years. I’ll have to try it out on my 16-year old and see what his response is. Poor kid has no idea what I’m talking about half the time!
