Punishingly Intricate

Joe Biden's sister and the girl who plays April on Parks & Rec went to my high school. Many years apart, obvs, and neither when I was there. Also a girl, Val Whiting, who played basketball in one of the first, if not the first, seasons of the WNBA. She was a freshman when I was a senior.

And, looking at Wikipedia, the wife of Ed Rendell, gov of PA.

And a couple of other notable basketball players. We had a good basketball program.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We had no basketball (sad emoticon here).

In looking for more famous people, I have discovered my old debate partner died in 2007 after a sudden illness. Sad. We were actually able to use him as a source on cold fusion when the topic that year was space travel. Good times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Motts is something from bandom, if memory serves.

For my high school of people I wasn't at school with, all I know for sure is Angela Lansbury.

I was also there with some Kenyattas.

information libertarian

I went to high school with (and knew pretty well) musicians Tift Merritt and Brandon Bush (who is in the band Sugarland; his brother is one of the main people.) But famous people who went to my high school include John F. Kennedy, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Douglas, Alan Jay Lerner, John Dos Passos, Edward Albee, and Adlai Stevenson, so my contemporaries hardly rate.

My sister had the best--she was friends in primary school with Judi Dench's daughter.

Cool! I really like her, despite that I've missed seeing her every time she's come to town since we moved here (at least three times so far).

I don't think I went to HS with anyone famous, though my college's list of alums includes Joss! He was a few years before my time.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Um.

Not classmates, but. Also, we've had no illustrious architects, scientists, or business grads, so it all balances out.

Compassionately intolerant

Gosh, I wouldn't know how to find out which alums from my high school who are famous. On the other hand, Maynard Ferguson and Dave Brubeck went to my university.

Raise you a Shat!

And a Colin. And a John Rogers. Well, okay, you can keep the Shat. My only interactions with him were of the asshatish type. Him, uh, not me.

Man, this NPR jam is excellent. Sing it, Boyz II Men.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Raise you a Shat!

When I see the word "shat", the past tense of "shit" comes to mind....
