    Except for the fact that the American version was written in 1831, but nice try. Bonus points for the "GRRR YOU SLAUGHTERED NATIVES!" thing.

    My graduation in 2004 was boring.

    Why was it boring?

    Because we had 896 people in my class. It takes a VERY VERY LONG AND BORING TIME to finally get out of there. By the end of it, no one even really wanted to do anything.

    As for me, my mom got into a car accident shortly after graduation was over. So really that was the only memorable thing about graduation.

    We had a Leavers Assembly when I left Secondary School. We had movies and pictures of us shown from the 5 years, provided by the students. We also had awards and speeches, too~

    My friend and I weren't allowed to go to graduation, so we slept in and then met my husband at the park. He went and graduated with high honors. xD

    Our diplomas still say the same date as his though!

    My graduation itself wasn't memorable enough to share with people who weren't personally there to see it, except maybe for the fact that the ceremony was held at the same uni I go to now . But the night of graduation, the seniors got to go to Dave & Buster's (after paying $80) and hang out and do different things provided by D&B and our high school's PTSA. The thing lasted until about 5 the next morning, but my friends and I wound up going on the last bus, which took forever to come pick us up and take us back to school. So I basically got home at 7:30 that morning. It was the first all-nighter that I ever pulled, and I was sick for the next 3 weeks

    '"Land of Hope and Glory" is a British patriotic song, found to an extent throughout the Commonwealth Realms. It is particularly noted for being played on the occasion of the Last Night of the Proms amidst much flag-waving.The tune for the song was taken from the first of Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance marches, which is used as a graduation march in many universities and high schools in North America."

    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Working for MTV isn't something to boast about. It's a dark secret that you should keep to yourself forever.

    I don't recall graduation. We don't do anything for it in England at all. The American ideas of high school pride and spirit and whatnot are completely alien over here.

    Unless the job is sterilizing the other employees, I don't see how any good can come of it.

    Nope sorry. It was said, you were wrong, I was right and I will hold it against you until my untimely demise!

    Our school pulled a fast one on us by ending the year suddenly about a week early, thus stopping us from fullfilling our duties of making sure the fire alarm is perpetually ringing on the last day.
