How's THIS for weird? I just found out that a guy I went to junior high with

[kestrel91316]

in Utah (and was part of the geeky/nerdy friendless clique with) is THIS guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randal_Quarles

:wow: :rofl:

A classmate had told me years ago that he went to law school and was a bigshot back east, but I had NO IDEA!!!

[That Is Quite Enough]

1. Lends credence to the "Be nice to nerds. They'll be your bosses someday." line of thought

[gateley]

2. Thank God YOU'RE normal! ;-) nt

[Hello_Kitty]

3. I went to high school with Matt Drudge. eom

[kestrel91316]

5. Prior to this, my only claim to fame was that I taught Senator Ensign

in veterinary microbiology lab.

[Orrex]

4. I went to high school with Sheila Keller

In the first grade, she used to eat paste.

[kestrel91316]

6. Who is Sheila Keller?

[Orrex]

7. She's the girl who, in the first grade, used to eat paste.

Didn't you read my post?!?

[stevedeshazer]

8. I went to high school

:hi:

[provis99]

13. How do we know?

I haven't seen your diploma; for all I know, you went to a Muslim Madrassa in Kenya! I will now inform Orly Taitz of my suspicions...

[stevedeshazer]

15. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

<gasp>

[corpseratemedia]

9. on edit: you could ask him for a loan

maybe there's some chump change laying around his couch or something

[DavidDvorkin]

10. I used to think that some day people would say that they went to high school with me

But that hasn't happened.

11. I went to high school with famous nuclear physicist

Nathan Isgur, beyond a doubt the smartest person I have ever known. Also one of the nicest and most principled.

[Orrex]

19. Died young, too. Sad!

"War resister," though--I like it!

[Blue_In_AK]

27. He was a wonderful person.

I felt very sad when I heard he had passed away.

[JanMichael]

12. You may have had a chance to smother him in a pool...

... in HS or slip him a roofie at a kegger - why didn't you?????

[kestrel91316]

22. This was JUNIOR HS. In Utah. Nothing remotely resembling a kegger.

[tularetom]

14. I think I went to high school but I don't remember anybody important there

My brother on the other hand went to high school with Steve Perry of Journey.

[Digit]

16. I went to HS with Elizabeth Edwards

Not the same graduating year mind you, but she is in my yearbook.
Oh and yes, she looks beautiful in her picture.

[TygrBright]

17. Wow. Was he as sleazy then as he looks now?

That pic on the wiki page is really creepy!

amusedly,
Bright

[kestrel91316]

24. Actually, given that he was a short, pudgy, chipmunk-cheeked bookish

nerd, I think he turned out RATHER well. He is not bad looking.

[TygrBright]

29. Well, I have peculiar tastes.

I kinda LIKE short, pudgy, chipmunk-cheeked nerdy types. At least, I definitely prefer them over airbrushed-looking, smoothly-oiled, perfect dentition and camera-ready hair sorts.

But then I'm weird too.

philosophically,
Bright

[Cleita]

18. Well, since we are name dropping right now, I went to high school with

Mary Tyler Moore. She was a couple of years ahead of me. There were also other celeb/family type connections too, but not as famous as Mary. I think for sheer geekiness your connection is a lot funnier. Thanks!

:rofl:

[alfredo]

31. Went to school with Terry Adams of NRBQ. He turned me onto jazz. He's

a few years younger than me.

20. The Carlyle Group.

Bushie. Not really a big shot, but he probably has the dirt on someone.

[kestrel91316]

25. What's funny is, I think he was a Repuke even in junior high, when none

of the rest of us gave a damn about politics.

[hfojvt]

21. Doesn't that make you

very, very old? Like over 50? :hide:

[kestrel91316]

26. 53 and one day.

[givemebackmycountry]

23. I was graduated by then but my sister went to school with...

Scott Adams.
He was two years behind me so since the school was very small and was K-12 technically, I went to school with Scott Adams.
Who is Scott Adams?
Scott Adams was born in Windham, New York in 1957, and graduated valedictorian from Windham Central School, in a class size of 39.

He is the guy that writes the comic strip...

"Dilbert"

[Kat45]

28. A friend of mine went to high school with Bill O'Reilly.

He bought his autobiography to see if he could figure out how he got the way he is today.

[grantcart]

30. The only guy in our high school that made it to Wikipedia is this guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley_Peyton

My daughter was school mates with Bill Gates neices.

[Onceuponalife]

32. My sister went to high school with Anthony Edwards and Eric Stoltz

Two good liberals. I went to a different high school across town for some reason, two years behind her. They were very involved in the school performing arts department and at least I got to see them in some cool plays and musicals (Oliver!, Hello Dolly, How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying). My sister did the makeup for the productions. Almost immediately after graduation they landed roles as Sean Penn's "stoner buds" in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Lucky bastards. :P

Oh, this was at San Marcos High School in Santa Barbara.

[freeplessinseattle]

33. Glenn Beck graduated 8 years before me at my school

maybe that's why I couldn't wait to get out of there!

Hillary Swank went there too, a year or two behind me, but I didn't know her. She seems the polar opposite of Beck though, and bigtime animal advocate.
