What’s alma mater you?

Isn’t eBay a wonderful thing? (No, it isn’t.)

1992 IRVINE HIGH SCHOOL Yearbook (the year I graduated high school)

Yes, our yearbook was dubbed the Citadel, which means “a fortress that commands a city”. Yeah, I never knew what that had to do with a yearbook, of all things, but that’s what it was called. Actually, citadel is also a synonym for stronghold, which means “a place dominated by a particular group or marked by a particular characteristic”. Now that makes much more sense. I’ll leave it to you to figure out the “dominate group or characteristic” of Irvine. (Hint: the dominate characteristic is not Liberal Hispanic Jews who are for gay rights and against the death penalty.)

I guess I shouldn’t really be surprised at this. You can hawk just about anything online these days, but why anyone would want to buy this is beyond me. The only real nostalgia my yearbook holds for me is a memory of a time when I had yet to succumb to male pattern baldness. Aside from that, any warm feelings towards my alma mater left with my high school reunion.

    You mock me when I email you this crap then turn around and blog about it. Bastard!

    I mock you when you e-mail me three separate Irvine related items within an hour. I am 90% positive it’s the reason I caught this cold.
