Anyone who lived on 323 S. Church street knows the importance of "the list." Well, this time around, for sentimental purposes, I thought it would be appropriate to "list" the decade and its events.For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, you soon will. Basically what we'll do is split each year into halves, where "part 1" encompasses January - June, and "part 2" means the rest. I will then list inside jokes, catch phrases, people, songs, sports events, bars, and more inside jokes that were relevant at the time (chronologically, if possible). I need everyone's help in adding to the list to flesh things out as much as possible, because everyone has different but valuable perspectives/memories from the same time periods.
I know most of ya'll are thinking all this reminiscing is a childish and gay idea, especially for someone who's almost 3 years away from being 30 years old. Well guess what, don't really care. I don't think any of us have matured at all these last 10 years so now is no time to start.
Anyways, enough talk. Let's go ahead and kick things off with Part 1 (January-June) of the Year 2000. Here we go...

I thought the Zeigler dance-off was senior year, and I don't remember Jack Holmes being involved.
Hank signs should be in 2000, Part 2.

"You know, when I was 6 years old, my father told me there was no Santa Clause. And I asked him, 'Well Dad, have you pulled on his beard lately?' Hi I'm Ryan Smith, and I'm running for treasurer."

Woah, woah, woah slow down Hank. All in good time. Neher/Arvind's house did not enter the picture until senior year. We'll get there, just hang on. Jesus.
"Mrs Younglood?"

"Are you really going to read us the whole thing?"

"Oh my God, she is."
Man, moose and the blue limo. That was a night from hell. Snuffy, Gordon Manner, Matt Phillips and I all locked in at Tybee Straights by Ms. Neher because she thought we would ditch our dates.
Just for the record, pretty sure "yerrrr" faded out by the turn of the new century. "Hank" was still going strong and "sweet" and "he's a queer" followed by "I heard he's queer" were starting to come to the forefront. I would also like to include Larry Schmidt failing a drug test and no one knowing about it as a follow up to his 3 pointer against Jenkins.
