Anyone remember slambooks?
|
|
|
no, what's that?
|
|
|
Aw, bloodface. That was thoughtful and sensitive (and I am using a candid tone of voice).
|
|
|
Slambooks were books that the 5th-8th grade girls at my school made to degrade and humiliate those less popular and to stroke the egos of those more popular. Each page had a heading/category and numbered lines where you were supposed to write your answer. The first pages were always about personal interests: Favorite Color, Favorite Band, etc., but the further you got into the book, the more critical the headings got: Worst Clothes, Last Person on Earth You'd Make Out With, The Thing Jamie M. Smells Like Most (that last one was a real header in one of the slambooks that floated around my school).

Didn't you see Mean Girls? In the movie they were called Burn Books.
I had heard about slam books but I never saw one. Maybe they just dont exist north of Cloquet.
|
|
|
I didn't see it, nope.
|
|
|
diss!
|
|
|
Knuckles, you probably didn't see one because you were in one. I remember this shit now, I was in one, but i only saw the cover.
|
|
|
Ummm, there were about 20 kids in my entire grade. If we had slam books, I would have known about it.
I do remember cutting pictures of this one girl out of the yearbook and pasting them into the glossary of my bio textbook, next to things like "pupa".

Did you go to school in Egypt? On da river Nile?
|
|
|
Har.
Seriously, spend 5 minutes in a small town. You, too, will know everyone else's business whether you want to or not. THERE ARE NO SECRETS.

we had slambooks or something of that nature at my elementary school. it was catholic and very small so we all knew what was going on. despite it being a suburb, there was a definite small town vibe in the school setting.

|
|
|
That's right, what did you do again?
|
|
