"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 · Apr 2005

Is it from the new Nick Hornby suicide book?

danr · Apr 2005

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

danr · May 2005

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

teen spirit? heartbreak high?

Mojo2k · May 2005

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

danr · May 2005

the blank name is "Sally"

bearkub · May 2005

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 · May 2005

nope

Josh_Singh · May 2005

Dude this is hard.

danr · May 2005

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

MoP · May 2005

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

danr · May 2005

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 · May 2005

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

danr · May 2005

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

Oh, and the smell was peanut butter.

Mojo2k · May 2005

reading rainbow

danr · May 2005

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 · May 2005

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

danr · May 2005

no!

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

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

snemmy · May 2005

the Peanuts ??? o.O

Josh_Singh · May 2005

south park?

danr · May 2005

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 · May 2005

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 · May 2005

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 · May 2005

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 · May 2005

oops, sorry forgot to check this since i didnt think i was even close..

wiill get one up shortly

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