rushringleader Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 You make a joke when someone asks you why you would be a good president and say: I will make everything better, we will start making airplanes out of beef.

Crush252 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 When playing Scrabble you put down Xanadu and YYZ. They allow Xanadu but say there's no way YYZ is a word. You're still AMAZED you pulled of Xanadu. (Man, YYZ would've given tons of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendallama Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 When you take your English III AP test and end up using Rush lyrics to back up your essay thesis. I seriously did this. The prompt was about schools that allow advertisers into their schools and are paid to let the companies tout their propaganda to the students. There's even a closed-circuit TV station that the students are forced to watch that is deemed "educational" but is 85% commercials. That being said, I was arguing against the use of advertising in school and quoted 'The Temples of Syrinx' ("...we've taken care of everything, the words you hear, the songs you sing, the pictures that bring pleasure to your eyes...") and also Subdivisions ("...in the high school halls, in the shoppiong malls, conform or be cast out...") Yeah, I beter make a 9 on that essay. A 9, in case you're not familiar with the AP grading policy, is the highest grade that one can get on an essay. Hahaha.

rushringleader Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 You are actually considering what color to get your external hard drive in. You were going to get Titanium, but now you see a Red and Black one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendallama Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) You set your clocks to 24 hour/Military time so that you can wish on "21:12". In lieu of using curse words, you exclaim "Oh, Geddy (freakin') Lee!" "Crap, Alex Lifeson!" or "Way to go, Neil Peart!" You volunteer to help clean out lockers at the end of the school year just so that you can choose your locker for the next school year. Yeah, 2112, here I come. :] I really have no life. I do all of the stuff that I mention. just for the record. Edited May 22, 2008 by kendallama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
