Too cool for school?

[flash_happy]

A publication many of the Irish readers of this livejournal will be familiar with is the Student Yearbook and Career Directory, traditional fallback of many a school book list. It aims to provide understandable information about the options available to students on leaving school, while also providing sufficient space for them to note the homework

Oh dear...

I don't think anyone, anywhere has used the term "righteous dudes" since the mid 1980s.

And naturally, living in the heart of Ross O'Caroll Kelly territory, as I do, this sort of stuff will give me nightmares =P

[tofadeaway]

I have! But, umm, totally not seriously.

That is very scary. Tres scary. Oh dear.

1. Why is there a stalagmite/stalactite thing going on inside 'Eminem's' mouth?

2. 'Clued' does not rhyme with 'dudes'. Nuh-uh.

3. I have fear now.

[flash_happy]

After mature reflection, I think the thing that scares me the most is the possibility that the geological structures in "Eminiem"'s mouth, may in fact be saliva. The fact that someone, somewhere even considered the possibility that that much saliva could ever be cool gives me THE FEAR.

I opened mine once!
It was a good once, I have to say.

I was always to scared to open it without alcoholic assistance. It turns out even alcohol can't save you from some things.

oh lord.

the CAO people are so hilarious.

[flash_happy]

The sad fact of the matter is they think they are.

And how is "Don't forget that Certs become Degrees in easy steps" making ANYTHING LIKE SENSE?

[flash_happy]

I wish I knew. Unless they're referring to the Leaving Cert. Or diploma courses. But they're two different things so that's no help.

Although, another favourite of mine is "So turn around you' baseball cap Cos these ten clues are where its at".

I mean, in the first instance, the last time I saw anyone wearing a baseball cap backwards was in Mrs. Doubtfire. I hope that's not where we're meant to be taking inspiration for next season's fashion trends from because it will be so hard to find hot guys everyone insists on wearing fat suits and cross-dressing.

Also, they left out the apostrophe in its. Educated.

I think there's something wrong with Cos too, but I can never remember what the proper way of writing that abbreviation is. Then again, I have no need to, because it is not a word that should ever need to be written.

All that from just 2 lines? This is better than leaving cert poetry!

certs becoming degrees...

'Cause the progression of study goes something like this: a cert after year 1, diploma after year 2, and a degree after year 3/4. Careers teachers often have a handy little 'step' diagram to illustrate this fact. *nods*

Ahh, you see, I miss out on little gems like those because my school's career guidance teacher is Spanish and DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.

Ahem.

Channeled Book 5 Harry Potter for a moment there. Sorry.
