I walked today

…and moved the tassel from right to left.

Now to do it one more time, wearing a hood.

Now if the homework would just do itself. Not that it ever has in the previous 50 years…

The good thing is Kareem was a better speaker than Kitty Dukakis.

And you’re angry about this?

He will be, once he starts paying off the student loans.

Congratulations, shitburp.

Hey, you’re the one who put this in the Pit.

Don’t care if it IS the pit, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I pit people who aren’t outraged in the Pit.

I pit you back with mustard on it.

New here, eh?

Hey check out the brain on this one-- posts his graduation announcement in the PIT! Probably a communications major! HAHAHAHA!

That wasn’t Kareem, that was Roger Murdock. He’s an airline pilot.

My niece walked at the University of Alabama. They haven’t had a Commencement Speaker in years. Awesome concept.

I’ve “graduated” a couple of times since the 70s, but I’ve never heard the term “walked”.

“I walked today” is not a great thread title. I thought you beat a prison rap; or didn’t beat it, and were a “Dead Man Walking”; … or were miraculously healed of a pesky paralysis.

Moved to MPSIMS.

That’s what I thought, too. Congrats to the OP, though!

What exactly is hooding? I have to be hooded next year and nobody seems to know what that means.

For certain graduate degrees you get ahood.

Watch for a new thread: “I walked and got hooded today”: From a wheelchair to the KKK.

And while no one actually wears them on their head, you could if you didn’t mind looking like a dork.

I make every effort to look like a dork.

I’ve heard the expression “walk” in this context exactly once, ever, in fiction: Dragonsinger: Harper of Pern, when at the end of the book [del]Mary Sue[/del] Menolly is granted Journeyman status and does indeed literally walk from the apprentices’ table at dinner to the journeymen’s.

Co-pilot. And don’t call me Shirley.
