SVT #23 Claim to Fame

Jul 04, 2008 12:36

These recaps are addicting! I thought I could stop when I wanted. Then someone requested SVT Claim to Fame which turned out to be just loaded with snarkable stuff. Hope no one is tired of me yet!

"Everyone files into the auditorium for the special assembly after a voice over the classroom intercom instructs them to do so. It's like something out of Brave New World. Weird."

*snicker*

I remember this book, for some reason, even though I didn't read much SVT. I think it was remaindered stock or something. Anyway, I remember a bit of an "aha!" that the Wakefields Senior had been pinned down to a specific year.

Wait, why are they putting sixties stuff in the time capsule? That makes no f'ing sense.

I concur! So stupid. Why didn't they just have a book about some project on the sixties if they wanted to talk about the Beatles and go go boots for a bit.

Elizabeth tucks the ball under her arm and takes off running ignoring all the football references from everyone she passes! Like Bruce Paman's lame, "Hey, somebody tackle her!"

Oh, Bruce. Apparently you wanted to rape Elizabeth all the way back in middle school. It's cool. You're the only attempted rapist that we're allowed to like in this series since you didn't mess with Lila.

Why does Elizabeth have a purple arm on the cover?

llew30 July 5 2008, 02:43:51 UTC

Woah! I just pulled the book back out to check the cover and yes, at first it does appear Liz has a purple arm but it's actually the purple couch cushion behind her. Look closely at Jess's shoulder. Darn pixels. Any bigger and the cover was too grainy so I had to post it small!

I was going by the shape of her sleeve http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/1155/lizarmml2.jpg It could just be me, but it looks like the sleeve should bend more (and have a piece of arm sticking out)

It looks like she has an invisible arm!

That's a blanket, not her arm. Her arm is around Jessica. It's just poorly drawn.

Oh my god, I've just remembered reading this when I was ten and begging my mum to 'wrap my hair' so it would hang straight. She refused on the grounds of having many better things to do with her time. Fair point!

Excellent recap, throwing up many memories of my own youthful tragicness.

SAME!

Except my mum really got into it (she also had better things to do with her time, but our family has this hereditary disorder where we get distracted really easily, like cats), and since my hair was too curly to wrap over a can, she actually ironed it. She did this for me every week for a year because of this book - GAH!
