1. "But oh what can you do when
she's dressed in black -- Depeche Mode" (one of several D.M. and New Order
quotes; I'll stop here)2. "october the
trees are stripped bare of all they wear what do i care october and
kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall but you go on and on -- bono"
3. "Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes I'm
afraid it's time for goodbye again"
This joker (who got like a 1580 on his SAT's) didn't have the nerve to
attribute it, but I am ashamed to admit I know it's Billy Joel (I will
only list this one Billy Joel quote, there were at least five to choose
from).
4. "Reagan + Gorbachev + all those phoney tough
guys in suits who dream about bombs aren't worth 1 Mookie Wilson" (OK, I
kind of like this one)
5. "If I fail, If I succeed, at least I live as
long as I believe -- W. Houston" Now this one is a little bit too
much of a sitting duck, but I had to point it out because a) they sort of
got the quote a little bit wrong and b) they wrote "W. Houston" as if we'd
be fooled into thinking it was some little-known philosopher.
6. "...and I begin to wonder what the point was if
we ever knew -- Bret Easton Ellis"
7. "Stay tall. Don't think small.
Don't get your back against the wall" -- no attribution, but I am
pretty sure this is from the Tommy Shaw song "Girls with Guns"
8. "CATCH THE WAVE -- Max Headroom"
9. "CRACK IS WACK -- Thoreau" (I remember
thinking this one was a laugh riot)
10."Quite frankly, I'd rather be David Lee Roth
than a damp and dumpy water fowl with a zit on his nose! -- P. Opus"
I never liked "Bloom County," or the people who liked it.
11. "The future doesn't belong to the
faint-hearted. It belongs to the brave. -- Reagan of the Challenger
disaster"
12. "But seriously -- WE ONLY BUGGIN' "
13. "Experience = the name so many give to their
mistakes -- Oscar Wilde
Heartbeat, beating like mine -- DJohnson" I love how the Oscar
Wilde quote was just not sufficient. it took the words of Don
Johnson to put it all together. I would venture to say this is the only
person ever who quoted both of those sages in one yearbook. Again,
note how abbreviation is used to throw us off the trail.
14. "Hold on to 16 as long as you can; changes
comin' round real soon make us women and men! -- JCM"
15. "I DREAM MYSELF ALIVE --AHA" I swear.
16. "Nothing is impossible if you put your all in
it. The sky is the limit. Ya gotta believe!!! -- Mets '86"
-- I remember this dude having bad breath.
17. "We are spirits in the material world --
Sting"
18."Aw come on, don't fess."
19. "TRACK TEAM!!! Is my hair messed up? OH
SWEAT!!!"
20. ***the LEAST dated quote: "All we can do is
understand what's going on... -- Frank McCourt" If I remember, this
girl was very short but had big boobies.
