My school's yearbook is doing some new things this year, one of them a Most Likely To page. This being the first year, we don't have any ideas to reference. I've come up with a short list already, but writer's block has struck again.

This is what I've got so far:
-Discover a new life form… under their bed.
-Have a hairstyle named after them.
-Write the Great American Novel.
-Own a Spa.
-Be on SNL.
-Be late for graduation.

Got any ideas? [Big Grin]

We picked these on a person by person basis.

Having a relatively small graduating class, we gave each graduate a "most likely to" title.
 
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
-Become President
-Colonize Mars
-Win an Oscar
-Win a Grammy

We have them write down a greatest ambition. We're trying to make this a bit more fun but, if all else fails, we'll have each person write down an idea for everyone else and hope that'll work.

There's such an Anti-veggie bias out in the world. ::sigh::

Never happen, your typical Spaniard is too lazy to fight a big war.

I'll add to this list in exchange for a small donation to my campaign fund. If elected, I promise to give your school a grant to create its own state of the art publishing facility.

Just send all donations to my sister...I mean, campaign manager.

This is the best one. Because toasters are so cool. If it was possible, I would live with just a toaster and an answering machine. Those are the two coolest appliancy things.

"Hi. This is Steve. I can't come to the phone right now. I'm making toast."
 
Posted by aiua (Member # 7825) on :
 
Sure beats my message: "Yheeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Most of the messages start out, "...Hi?..."

Tante- That's right. Except I can't ever come to the phone. Because the only appliances I own are a toaster and an answering machine. I don't see phone on that list anywhere.
 
Posted by GaalDornick (Member # 8880) on :
 
It actually might be more like:

Hi. This is Steve. I can't come to the phone right now because I don't have a phone. Just a toaster and an answering machine. Bye!

Edit: Nooooooo! Darn you Steve!
 
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
 
Aha!

Edit:

And..um...Huzzah! Huzzah!

This is how I want my answering machine to be when I get one of my own and I'm not making toast. And I have a phone. That could be deeply amusing when one listens to the messages.

Wow, has it really been five years since we voted on these things? Dang!

We had the usual categories (Cutest Couple, Best Hair, Best Eyes, Most Likely to Rule the World [me!]), and we had a couple fun ones: Biggest Brownnosers, Jacks of All Trades, Worst Drivers.

Umm... that's going to be me in about 30 years. Except it's going to be ferrets... and big dogs.

In grade eight, I was most likely to write the neverending story (literally). So far, it's been accurate.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
Ferrets?

How about Chinchillas and medium sized dogs?

I was voted 'Most likely to become a dictator'.

Steve, that's hilarious. I'd like to think that if we'd had that when I was in HS, I'd have won it.

That's a good one!! I'm gonna bring it up to my yearbook people, if you don't mind [Smile]

Thanks, guys- you've helped out more than you know!

Chinchillas are too cute. I'm going for the stink and scare factor. I mean, if the little kids that lived in my neighborhood saw one of my chinchillas, they would think it was all cuddly and fuzzy. But if they saw a dirty little ferret, they would scream in terror and run away. Same with the big dogs. I want large mastiffs that drool and insight fear into the hearts of little children everywhere.

That's my goal anyway. *mutters something about god-fraggit kids these days*

My friend Rebecca, who won a scholarship to the school I was at and was easily best at maths/science in the year all the way through school, was "most likely to be stacking shelves at tesco's" which we all thought was great! We also had "most likely to marry a gay fashion designer" which went to one of the art-types. This was secondary school, rather than university, though!
