Right, It's my last year in school this year (finally) and we're doing a yearbook profile. One of the questions is "Any advice for the future" does anybody have anything funny/witty for me to put in as mine.

I I'm not bothered it won't actually be my quote, I just want something memorable and funny.

Also, deadline is 25/3/11, I'll tell you which one I submitted then

Stock up on Water, Potassium Iodide, and Spam.


Honestly that was what I thought this thread was going to be about. I guess I have been reading Yahoo! news too much. The end of the war looks like it is coming any day now.

What if these are the "good old days?"

"Mind the step!" springs to mind.. hear that enough though.

Eh, give me a few days and lots of sugary drinks and I might give you a decent answer or five.

"Odds are, none of this really mattered all that much."

"Live hard and die young!" Probably not the best one eh..

That said, I reckon the apocalypse will come in 20 years, give or take 20 years, so..

Here's two you might like:

Probably the simplest and best general health advice you can ever give.

Obviously you're looking for one liners, not serious advice.

"We came into this world naked, bloody and screaming, and if you play your cards right, you can go out the same way."

Or the famous Douglas Adams: "Life is wasted on the living."

"it takes more courage to retreat than advance."

Whip it.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

I'm going to go with the obvious one:

I would advise you to remember what a bloody waste of time and wholly unecessary yearbooks are so you can teach your children, there is no need to make one.

The world will have more trees and be much happier for the want of yearbooks.

I was one of about 5 people who didn't buy a leaver's hoody (at a stupidly inflated price) and/or a year book (90% of people who bought one, also bought the other) at the end of high school. From what i've seen, the presence of such items in their inventories has had little to no impact upon their lives whatsoever.

Yearbooks are silly. Don't be silly; don't buy a yearbook.

Buy a yearbook and get people to write stuff in it. Its kind of nice being able to look back through it and remember people and events.

You can get the same nostalgia by wearing a white T-shirt and having people sign it with a marker. Its kinda fun, and cheaper.

3 Golden Rules:

1. Never trust a dog with orange eyebrows.

2. Always call the Underground, the Underground and never the Tube.

3. Never carry a brown paper parcel.

Beware yetis on the Underground.

We are the ADD Genera...(yawn)! bored.

Is this one of those spies meet on a park bench with the Washington obelisk in the background to switch identical brief case moments?

In the future there is no retirement, only death.

Challenge accepted!

Yearbooks were a great tool because years after high school, you'll still bump into people you knew. You won't remember their name, and they'll tell you some gossip about other people from high school.

Then, when you get home, you can break out the year book and figure out who they were and who they were talking about.

Even if you're one of the anti-hip kids that thinks it's cool to hate lame things like yearbooks, get one. You'll thank me in a decade or so.

Although, Facebook may have made the yearbook totally obsolete. Now, you can stalk all those people from high school at your own convenience...



Your advice to the future should be:
"Remember that huge party when the entire student council tried meth? Yeah, I just ruined any hope of you becoming president."

Loving the Bill and Ted-ism XD

"Always remember me for what I was, not what I'll become"

30 years on.
