Fandom High Graduation Ceremony, Class of 2008, Saturday Afternoon (Part I)

[bigdamnprincipal]

The sun was shining over the front lawn of the school (except for the part of the bleachers covered by an awning, in case anyone with sun issues had shown up), and the temperature had thankfully turned out to be perfect for the occasion. There was a stage placed prominently on the lawn, set up with a podium and a number of heavy metal chairs for the administration and guests. In front of the stage were platforms with more of the metal chairs; they'd been painted blue and gold, and were sitting empty and waiting for the arrival of the class of 2008. There were bleachers on each side of the platforms, for students, family, friends, alumni, and residents of the town who wanted to come and watch.

Alas, it was time for another class to graduate.

[OOC: If you ping in before the OCD is over, I will end you and all that you love. Ahem. OCD is done, go and rock out! This post is for audience mingling and general graduation stuff. The requisite WTF-y part of graduation will be posted later. Like last year, it'll be kind of hard to miss the events of the second post, so you might want to hold off an any post-graduation posts for a while to avoid being Jossed.]

"Ladies, gentlemen, Principal Washburn of the impressive physique, Vice Principal guy with the hair, Dean Cougar, faculty, students, invited guests, uninvited guests, graduates of the Class of 2008. My name is Chuck Norris and Chuck Norris is here today to give you an inspirational talk that you'll remember throughout your years, no matter how hard you try to forget. That's the consequence of listening to Chuck Norris.

You managed to stay in school despite the adversity of wedgies and homework and that one kid who always smells not quite right. Now it's time to get out there and make a name for yourself. One day you might even have a reputation to rival Chuck Norris' and maybe you too can order a Big Mac at Burger King and get one without question. Well, no, not really because there can be only one Chuck Norris, but you can try your best and fail and still be satisfied with your noble efforts.

People ask Chuck Norris how Chuck Norris became so successful. The answer is to be Chuck Norris. If you can't be that, be like Chuck Norris. Why? Because paper beats rock, rock beats scissors and scissors beat paper, but Chuck Norris beats all 3 at the same time.

Thank you for your attention and Chuck Norris wishes you the best of luck for the future."
