no-one knows who they were or what they were doing

danr

"incidentally, my name is

---

and i'm one of the pupils of the school that committed suicide"

Not from a movie. Get this one first go, y'bolloxes

Rick Stirling

Is it from the new Nick Hornby suicide book?

danr

nope - it's not recent, and it's far more happy

danr

no-one?

the school really did top itself. It got depressed. The smell of ... *aha* something ... got it down. If you never came across the actual event in the form it took, you could probably take an educated guess ...

if you're well behaved, i'll clue you in to what the smell was

sundance

teen spirit? heartbreak high?

Mojo2k

see this is what happens, you want to make a quote that someone can get, but not right off. its tricky

danr

the blank name is "Sally"

bearkub

Uh.... Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkhaban? (or however it is spelled...)

Hrm...but that is also a movie. Oh well, my guess still stands.

danr

nope

Josh_Singh

Dude this is hard.

danr

how many things feature a schoolchild called Sally and a school that was ever likely to kill itself?

MoP

dan, quite so, but how many people also know about this? :P

danr

you don't have to know the specific events, you can make an educated guess on what the quote is from based on the information provided. C'mon, play the game.

And if the info means nothing to you, then you probably haven't lived, and this is not my fault

lkraan

There's a Sally, a school and a suicide in the Catcher in the Rye. Don't remember anything smelly in it though.

danr

nope, but i'm willing to bet this is influenced by loads of classic novels...

Oh, and the smell was peanut butter.

Mojo2k

reading rainbow

danr

another character, in a similarly grim episode, drove his teacher to have a nervous breakdown by continually forgetting to bring in some egg-shells to make a diorama.

if i could do an impression of the teacher in text, you'd get it immediately

sundance

you're making this up aren't you...?

danr

no!

this is Art! ART! ART ART ART!!!

another clue for you. If i had a piano i'd bang it.

snemmy

the Peanuts ??? o.O

Josh_Singh

south park?

danr

Snemmy gets it, though there's no "the" in the title. I'm surprised it took so long, only Schulz could have his school commit suicide because "it had been depressed for some time".

your go

ShadoKat

WTF?!?! Where the hell did you see this? I even Googled it and it didn't come up! Seriously, I'd like to see this.

Dukester

I remember the school with problems in Peanuts.
I just don't remember it being a life defining moment for me, but I do remember it

danr

it's one of my all time favourite concepts (along with Linus driving Miss Othmar mad through eggshells, as detailed above) ... yep, true genius of our time and no mistake

anyway! New quote, dammit!

snemmy

oops, sorry forgot to check this since i didnt think i was even close..
wiill get one up shortly
