I think I too will send a stripper to my high school reunion

Stumble ThisAndrea Wachner hated high school, so decided to get a stripper to attend her 10 year reunion...which is just about the greatest idea I have heard.

Then again, there are always Chippendales
I was not one of the 'popular' people in high school by any stretch, but you know what I liked about my highschool reunion? Seeing that those who thought they were top shit, and who bullied others had turned out to be no hope losers. It wasn't a case of 'look, I've done so much more with my life' or anything like that, it was a case of finding out that, you know, us nerds and geeks and the like seem to be a whole lot happier in life than the 'popular' set. It was great to hear how well other 'unpopular' people had been doing and their great jobs and families etc. And not feeling at all like you had to one up anyone, well, because I was pretty damn happy where I was at the time. (Even more so now.)
That was really great.
That and falling into a comfortable rhythm with old friends again and just having fun.
Doing this is... um... wow, there's a lot of anger and hatred there. Perhaps one might think about letting go a bit rather than doing this which, what? Did what exactly? Cost her a lot of money in tickets and hotel room and crew and setup... for what? What real payoff? What was she really hoping to achieve?
I upvote because, well, she had this insane idea and actually went through with it, but I don't upvote with great force because I really fail to see how this is a get back at them, or a showing them up, or anything really.
As for the 10, I don't think there was one -- I think people didn't care or else forgot. So be it.
However, she maybe an aspiring documentary maker who simply wants to turn a novel idea into a viral video, thereby launching her career. Kind of like the "supersize me" guy.
*Edit - My hs experience, I was never picked on or bullied... was just very quiet, and no I didnt really enjoy hs.
It's a completely different situation where I come from. I might have been the most popular kid in my high-school year, something I only figured out at graduation, but I always thought and acknowledged other folks would definitely be way more successful than me. Nevertheless there never was and hasn't been any competition whatsoever for who's done better or who's turned out most successful, just as there never was any differentiation between 'nerds' and 'jocks', even though we attended the top non-private school in the whole country (so we're supposed to be the most arrogant and elitist). I've been organizing class reunions ever since the graduation. Everyone always has a blast, and they always thank me for bringing the class together afterward and most folks have actually been asking me to try and organize it twice a year. This is why I am completely bemused (≠amused) by this particular "competition" facet of US high-school culture.
My 20 will be coming up in 3 years. But to hell with that. Reunions are so fake ass. Everyone knows you don't drive your own car to a reunion. You rent the best car around. Fake.
I think the whole point of her doing this was to make a funny documentary and end up going to Sundance
Ahh... good times...
vagina.
I had three different high schools; they were all in Zimbabwe. I don't see any chance I will be going to a reunion... but on the upside, just think of what I will save in stripper fees.
I don't know, it would be interesting to pay a trillion dollars for a stripper.
But if I could do it, I'd send a really ugly, scuzzy biker dude in my place. Maybe pay an emaciated meth fiend to play his(my) wife.
