Guilford High School, Guilford, CT, 2007 In our PC world, the old fashioned “wishing that the school would burn down and all the teachers would die” has sadly become something that people get all too worked up about, so it’s nice to see it delivered in such a refreshingly twisted manner. Also, I don’t believe for a second that the signer, who I imagine as Calvin, but in High School, ever realized that it was sort of brilliant that the Raging Cow depicted here was about to be chewing Mr. Cuddy.  Please keep the awkward yearbook signatures coming!

Davis Drive Middle School. Cary, NC 2002 Signing your own yearbook, as Jenn has done here, is an embarrassing, shameful act. In many ways, it’s the pre-internet equivalent of creating a new account on a forum to write posts that agree with your other account.  Except the yearbook one is pretty much a lot crazier. A growing more desperate request: Please submit yearbook signatures!!

R.J. Reynolds Senior High School, Winston-Salem, NC 1982 Let’s get one thing out of the way: No good yearbook signature has ever begun with the phrase “Well Bitch”, let alone one where “Bitch” is capitalized and underlined.  The fact that the signer, Tom, then proceeds to passive-aggressively suggest that the book owner, Lisa, purchase hard drugs from him in order to give to her father for Father’s Day leads me to just one conclusion: This is the yearbook entry that inspired Tommy Wiseau to create The Room.  Perhaps the drugs were purchased from Chris R.?  All that’s missing is a “K.I.T.” message from Denny.

Seaford Harbor Elementary School, Seaford, NY, 1991  From the submitter: “My friend Tom loved to eat, and still does.  In particular he loved eating the mozzarella cheese cubes the cafeteria served on spaghetti day.  Tom would beg the lunch room ladies to let him go back for extras, it was a self serve bowl of cheese cubes.  Anyway, Tom just genuinely enjoyed eating lunch and obviously he hoped that the middle school would continue serving equivalently awesome lunches to the ones he had eaten in elementary school.” I just imagine the glassy-eyed Tom being handed a yearbook. Looking straight ahead, he hurriedly scrawls a message reflecting his fragile mental state, still shaken from the tearful goodbyes he exchanged with the lunch lady earlier that day.
