Re: Slambook

I found this description on the web when I was having a little episode of forgetting:

Slam Books
The Q and A entry below reminded me that in Junior High School we used to circulate Slam Books. Note books, like, say, a secretarial dictation book, used to be passed around. Each page had question on it, much like the Q and A below. Lines were numbered, and you answered the question on your numbered line. So it looked like this>>
Page one: Choose your line
1--Jerry
2--Jenny
3--Tom
4--Felice
5--Chuck
Etc,
Page two: what is your favorite food?
1--Fried Chicken
2--Big Mac, fries, chocolate shake,
3--Peppermint stick ice cream, toll house cookies
4--Liver and onions...just kidding...broccoli...still kidding
5--Mom's spaghetti
Etc.
Page three: Best friend's name
1--Karen
2--Tom
3--Jenny
4--Tom
5--Felice
Etc.
And so on for many 'favorite' questions. They were called slam books because in the later pages you posted a one line comment about the person named on the top of the page; thus
Page 31: What do you think about Anna
1--Talks too much
2--Mascara? Oh, come on.
3--Great eyes
4--Giggles when she is near any boy
5--Goofy about Chad. Digs Tom Hanks movies. Lose some weight, Anna
Slam books were against school rules, but they circulated anyway. I think they caused lots of hurt feelings... but that was Junior High life. The what is your favorite this or that was fun, and you could compare all the answers with your own. You could see how you 'fit in' .
The fun part was being creative. You could compliment someone you 'really liked', or you could pan someone you didn't. The hard part was reading what the gang thought about you

Re: Slambook

I used to love slambooks! I liked the ones where you could use a sticker on each page instead of going with the numbered line.

Re: ANYONE WANNA DO A

Let me read up on it and get back to you. It looks as though you can just make up a nickname for the site (which does NOT have to match your LIW name) and answer the questions.
But let me keep reading this site.

I THOUGHT one person had one and passed it around for everyone to sign?
I may be wrong

well, not everyone. . .just the people they thought were cool enough. . .LOL, at least in my school. . . I actually think they were banned at one point, but a lot of things were banned in my jr high, for a public school.
