Slog - Comments on The World's Hottest 4th Grader http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/the_worlds_hottest_4th_grader It used to be me, and I used to have proof, until Super Tuesday kicked me in the brainz and had its filthy way with me. At some point during the six hours I spent at Moe Bar, between my new superbestpals buying me shots and Slog commenters being totally nice and something election-related going on in the background, I LOST my Madrona Elementary 1991-1992 yearbook, which NOT ONLY contains a pic of me wearing the world's sexiest moldable felt hat, but ALSO photographic evidence of an eight-year-old Jonah Spangenthal-Lee's flowing rat tail. THIS IS A DISASTER. Has anyone seen...

You almost left it at Moe. I tried to give it to you outside Quinn's, but we were all kinda sorta very drunk and you were.. well, this is a public forum, so "disastrously occupied" at the time. As soon as I find my phone's charger, I'll be able to call. Or, I'll just pass it through Eli.

"Staffers got used to pulling out the 1960 yearbook, until it was recently misplaced."

I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU.
Thank you times one million.
Also, let us never, ever, ever speak of my disastrous occupation. It's like my heart pumps bad choices instead of blood.

You have an occupation? I thought it was a sideline while you were waiting for international stardom ...

I did not know my old Madrona Middle School was now K through 8. I did not know elementaries hawked yearbooks now. But I will start carting around a photo of myself in 4th Grade, when I, too, was a hottie.

But I still have my yearbook from when I graduated high school . . . in 1971.

Does that count as "losing"? Did THEY lose it and just lie to you? Or did they just keep it? Why would someone keep someone else's 9th grade yearbook? Creepy.

No one will ever see my class pictures during that time. Though, I probably didn't hit peak non-hotness until about 6th grade. Who thought it was a good idea to time my most awkward phase in life during the late 80s, when permed hair, big bangs, and awful clothes were in style?

I blame my parents. As usual.

i'm sure it's been long since destroyed, junkarded, or other recycled. but a little bit of my still hopes to have it returned one day; it's obviously mine with all the signatures addressed to me!

I was just standing there and then suddenly a taco was in my hand. It had beef in it, I think!
