You know, Irony is when you make a song about irony that doesn't actually contain any examples of irony.


Isn't that right, Alanis?

Oh god, get new jokes.

Apparently if there aren't a metric ton of 98th and 99th percentile test-takers this year, I might qualify for the National Merit Scholarship or something.

Yeah, that's pretty helpful.  Not if you're planning on going to 1st- or 2nd-tier universities, though, because they're stingy bastards who don't give National Merit Scholarships.

Yep. Got one myself. Most local mediocre colleges will give you full ride, including room and board for it; possibly even spending money if you're really lucky. But if you want to get a real education, It'll save you a pretty penny, but still be nowhere near free.
Oh, and this will very probably tell you whether or not you got one if you know your score: http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html
It's a list of score cutoffs by state. If you're really lucky, you live in a durp state.

Wait, was Grievous a previous Supreme Chancellor of the Republic? Like Palpatine and Vallorum before him?

Its a highly non-canon webcomic. Darths & Droids. So no.

If we're talking about Darths&Droids, we've got to mention Summon Bigger Fish!

FUCK! I live in Ohio, my score's 203! I needed a score of 212?! Why the hell does Ohio of all places have such high standards?! Nobody that lives here for 10 years will tell you that we're some kind of fucking genius state! We're home to DAYTON, that's like the most concentrated mental illness on the planet! And somehow Arkansas slips by with 203, and what the hell you only need 201 to be commended? What does commended mean anyway? "Oh, you're actually very intelligent but derp no scholarship for uuuuuu XP"

I got the highest grades in my damn school, and didn't even make the cut! And we're in a fucking private school, shouldn't that be a warning sign your standards are a little high!?

THIS IS OHIO

STEP UP OR STEP OUT

Well BY DEFINITION there will be exactly as many of them (proportionally) as normal... :D

*Ahem*

I'm happy I'm derailing this thread! BAM, we're right back on topic!

Also Argembarger, don't you dare deny that I'm wrong. Inside your cold, unfeeling Ohioan heart you see the truth in what I speak!

[Aklyon]

*Ahem*

This thread is derailable? I thought the topic was the derail, and the derail the topic.

[ragnarok97071]

did you just manage to derail a thread which has no rails? I salute you, for you are the Ironblood of Thread Derails.
