Ben Reb, the Nerd, shows up. Did not know him. But I knew nerds, and Ben? You are not a nerd. OPRF had a considerable menagerie of role-game-playing, army-camouflage-wearing, fake-British-accent-parroting, mumble-to-yourself-as-you-walk-down-the-hall-with-your-Monty-Python-Ministry-of-Silly-Walks-walk, carrying-your-notebook-of-wizard-drawings nerds, and I seriously doubt Ben was among them. That is all.
Amy Clayton, the Chubby Cheerleader, walks in next. She might have an older sister that was in my class, but I'm not sure. She was chubby! Now she's not! She looks great! Whatever.
I looked in the '89 yearbook for info on Jason Goodman, Pipsqueak No More, but there wasn't even a page number next to his name. Weird. Well, he's hot now.
Summer Zandrew, the Flirt: it's worth noting that in Tim's bio segment, she was in several pictures with him. "In high school, I definitely did flirt," she says, as we see photos of her in several flirty poses -- flirting to the left! flirting to the right! and so on. When she shows up at the reunion, Tim's jaw drops in amazement, and I'm guessing it's because she's another one not from the class of '92 (she was in '93), and Tim probably didn't expect that she'd be there. They hug. In a separate interview, Tim says that he has "a lot of good feelings and a lot of regrets" about Summer, and that she's "the one that got away."
Then comes Dan Barbato, the Player. (It's at this point that Kelly and Tori joined us and had a few things to say.) In Dan's bio segment, he says, "In high school, people thought I was a stud."
KK: No! In high school, we thought he was a troll!
TS: A freaking troll! He was a DIRTBAG! Always!
KK: TROLL! GOD!
TS: That's all. TROLL!
Dan confesses that his way of breaking up with a girl in high school was to just start going out with another girl. Somehow, I can see that. When he shows up at the reunion, Summer says, "Wow, nobody had to look you up in the yearbook!" Somehow, I can see that, too.
