I'm class of '76 for college. Whenever my diploma turns up, I once again cuss out the frickin' Bicentennial symbol superimposed across it. Any '76 high schoolers have that issue?
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Spiff here is one of the Class of '76 (HS, for a school which technically no longer exists).
Didn't have the Bicentennial symbol (that was trademarked); our tassels had a Liberty Bell with the "76" superimposed, and that was kind of cool.

Hmmm. I was class of '78. I remember the class name selected by the class of '76 (Spirit) and '77 (Reflections), but I can't for the life of me bring to mind what my own class chose. --Bob

I'll be going to my 50th in two years.

If my school had such things my 50th would have been a couple of years ago

Hey Buff, we have the same birthday and I am the Class of 76, but it when I graduated college. I recently learned that one of my high school classmates was born the say day as me. Sadly I learned that when I read his obituary.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
