Famous folks who went to your HS
« on: September 28, 2006, 04:31:36 PM »
Some lame HS reunion is coming up, 20 years, so I get a call about it.. seems a celebrity alumni, or two, will be there, including A HUGE star...

Pauly Shore!!!

Yea I remember him, we even hung out.. but WTF are they trying to do here?, scare people away?

Look at this list of celeb alumni: Gina Gershon, Angelina Jolie, Michael Klesic, Nicolas Cage, Lenny Kravitz, David Schwimmer , Jonathan Silverman, Rhonda Fleming, Jackie Cooper, Rob Reiner, Antonio Sabato Jr., Pauly Shore, Michael Tolkin, Betty White, Corbin Bernsen, Elizabeth Daily, Albert Brooks, and Crispin Glover.

Add the Motown Gordys, Smoky Robinsons son, and some punker from NoFx.

MAYBE I'd go if bikini clad Gina Gershon and Angelina Jolie were kicking Paulys dick in the dirt.

Got me thinking tho... anyone have famous High School Alumni? and if I see Pauly and assault him on video, should I post it on youtube for profit?

Edit: Idiot friend who called me said it was next month, but it was on the 8th of this month.

Damm, I was so looking forward to seeing Pauly and hoping he was as miserable as his movies.

Do you think any of those celebs will actually turn up?

No international stars were I went (duh) only a couple of _really_ rich folks. But that is kinda expected. Would have been suprised if all of them managed to loose all that "old" money.

Jefferson High School had James Jett (Former Oakland Raiders WR) and I beleive Vicky Bullet, (Olympic Track Star). I didnt attend school when they went, but hey...

When I was younger, I went to Elementary school with "Sweet Pea" Whitaker's Sons, and was tought in 4th Grade by Mrs Reid, JR Reid's (Former Charlotte Hornet Forward) Mom.

Not really anyone famous.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I bought my first car in high school from
The strongest man in America

Glad the check didn't bounce  :  )

Nice guy.  I rember lifting weights with him in high school football.  

They had a bar graph to show how much each person was lifting, they had to add more room on his chart.

One of my HS english teachers was James Baird or PeeWee on the TV series Fury. He was a great guy who would tell us stories of the goings on on the set.

That is the only famous person I remember in HS but during my JrHS days my dad worked for David Crosby's mother on a regular basis. I spent quite a bit of time at the house he grew up in and when 'The Byrds" first single came out, 'Turn, Turn Turn' and 'Mr. Tamborine Man', we were all given signed disks. The party David had that year is still talked about among the locals old enough to remember.

I do. Other than the *infamous* Ray Nagin, councilwoman Jackie Clarson's daughter (who's name escapes me right now but she's in the new remake of "All the King's men") also went to O.P.Walker. Cant think of her name - its something Clarkson! :D

Nightcourt's John Larroquette went to high school right across the river from me in Chalmette.
