<p>Our mascot must, of course, have a number of noodly appendages, in deference to the Pastafarians/FSMists amongst us. (See digmedia’s link above.)</p>
<p>Our mascot seems to quite multi-faceted (unclassifiable?). So far we have the amoeba with its amorphous appendages, groucho (he’s got the cigar/glasses/mustache appendage)… Did I miss something? I hope one of our members is graphic artist. Yearbook deadlines are fast approaching.</p>
<p>I withdraw the amoeba in favor of a paramecium – they are nicely covered with noodly appendages!</p>
<p>True story - in HS, I was absent for the yearbook photo of a club that I was the president of. When the yearbook was published, there I was in the photo, but with a head about 25% bigger than it should have been. My head had been cut from another photo (before the days of Photoshop, so when I say cut, I mean cut) and pasted over someone else’s face. I felt bad. Because I was the president, they thought it was more important for me to be in the photo than _____(?). Never did know who it was, but if I did, I’m welcome him into THIS club and make HIM president.</p>
<p>oh, no did I miss the ED and the regular decision rounds? Am I doomed to be unclassified at a community college bulletin board?</p>
<p>Dig, I wasn’t missing from a picture, but running a high fever when my picture was “photoshopped” in 9th grade. Long story, but I was a candidate for some “queen” thing and wearing a long white velvet dress I made. Here’s the lovely photo of me (and my actual boyfriend) walking across the junior high gym to the stage and I was barely conscious. My eyes were completely closed, and for some reason the yearbook staff decided to use that picture. They took an ink pen and drew in my eyes, and for some inexplicable reason, very long eyelashes. I was supposed to look glamorous but instead I looked like a zombie with Cher eyelashes! I’m proud to say its the funniest picture in the yearbook, beating out the rather large principal in drag at a pep rally. </p>
<p>Mascot - how about this. It’s also “unclassified.” I really like the eyes.

<p>Don’t worry Kathiep. The wait period from ED to RD for me was 60 seconds. I even got in without any recommendations! My bet is that even if you are on the dreaded waitlist, you will get off it in about 3 minutes.</p>
<p>You guys are hilarious! If only college admissions were this easy…sigh.</p>
<p>Well I am a <em>little</em> disappointed that over30’s photo link was not of the glamorous white-velvet-gowned Cher-eyelashed version of herself.</p>
<p>But, other than that, posts #63-67 have me chortling along with soozievt.</p>
<p>kathiep, if you want to go the economical route, you could start out as a community college Unclassified and try to transfer here. But as long as you understand that we cannot provide you any financial aid, 1sokkermom seems to have written you a rec and that’s good enough for me.</p>
<p>Add kathiep to the Master Big List of Acceptances!</p>
<p><em>unless she wishes to remain Overlooked</em></p>
<p>JmMom, I too was a little disappointed with Over30’s photo link thinking it was gonna be a photo of her in her glamour in ninth grade. In fact, I was impressed that she even had a digital photo of herself from ninth grade! I am simply too naive or dumb… I hope I still pass the “test” of entry into the Overlooked and Underclassifieds!</p>
<p>
Maineparent-
Are you sure you aren’t just trying to butter up the adcomms!!??!!</p>
<p>wasn’t it berurah who had the link to the ebola virus stuffed things? few years ago now? perhaps you can find a leading mascot candidate there? <a href=“http://www.sillyasstoys.com%5B/url%5D”>www.sillyasstoys.com</a> has them…</p>
<p>dig and over30-
I have a GREAT yearbook story-- voted the best mistake of tghe yearbook that year (many moons ago). But, at the risk of hijacking this oh-so-important thread, I’ll start a “best yearbook mistakes” thread. I hope it’s ok to copy your posts there (if I can figure out a good way to do it, other than the ol’ cut-and-paste)</p>
<p>There’s a list?</p>
<p>For what?</p>
<p>Does it come in bulk?</p>
<p>How long do we stand in line?</p>
<p>Do I have to?</p>
<p>Do I want to?</p>
<p>Kat
I have misplaced ALL my kittens…</p>
<p>I’m also beginning to feel excluded…I mean, I could easily sign on to Pastafarianism, and there are (believe it or not :D) some things I don’t actually have an opinion on.</p>
<p>Maybe a junior auxiliary for those in training?</p>
<p>Besides, I also have a “sick at major HS event” story like Over30…</p>
<p>Katwkittens! Was just wondering where you had gotten to.</p>
<p>Knock, knock.</p>
<p>Can I come in? Think I have found a good fit!</p>
<p>passionate and quirky? But a little bit of an attitude - that knocking! I’m sure the adcoms are opening the door now momofthree. If they let me in, they’ll let anyone in.</p>
<p>I second the nomination of momofthree for admissions. I hope jmmom (our Dean) is listening. She seems easily swayed… :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>OH, yeah! S has quite a collection now! Haven’t bought “The Clap” yet though…
