Auburn class rings...

[JessN]

I had a lady come into my office this week to discuss business and we ended up somehow talking about her son, who had just graduated from Auburn. This lady has now put three kids through AU and is a fairly big fan of the school as a result.

However, she was complaining about her youngest son's class ring. It is a "past/future" ring; one side has the school seal and something else one it. The "future" side has an Eagle and, as she put it, "a tree limb with what looked like a banner on it." She asked her son what the banner was.

"It's not a banner, Mom, it's toilet paper from Toomer's Corner."

She told me her response was, "We just paid $500 for a ring with toilet paper engraved in it?"

Here's the link to the Balfour site describing the ring: http://ww2.balfour.com/ORP/default.aspx?sec=rings&id=AL9

And here's the ring:

I'm speechless

I love how they call it a "streamer." That, my friends, is the definition of euphemism.

 

[Bama1970]

Good Grief!!!!!

EXACTLY what i was thinking! lol

 

[Probius]

I would not admit that if I was a barner. How embarrassing.

 

[BamaCurt]

FOR CLASS!

FOR *SS! (toilet paper)

Nothing like the real thing. Can't believe they have toilet paper on the side of their ring. BWAAAAAA!:biggrin:

mouth agape in disbelief....

Look on the bright side. If he ever finds himself in a restroom with no toilet paper, he could always use his ring! :rofl:

 

[GreatDanish]

I'm trying to think of something that would be more embarrassing, and I just can't. The closest I've come is a\ pair of briefs.

 

[XXL TideFan]

Call that an "Auburn Lack of Class" Ring

 

[rizolltizide]

Why?

 

[Bama323]

LMAO!!

 

[THE BAMA IRISHMAN]

That is the most embarrassing ring a person could wear. How do you explain ROLLING your own college at goobers corner. When I read where Kenny Irons said he thought that was awesome I knew then the wonderlick (Wonderlic) test would take a serious hit. :biggrin:

represented by the streamer in the branches.

The barnyard can not even say toilet paper. Good Grief. Cow College at its finest. Correct me if I am wrong but while in HS we rolled our rivals, NOT OUR campus? Right! :biggrin:

_eek: :aiwebs_029:..........totally speechless.........

Correct me if I am wrong but while in HS we rolled our rivals, NOT OUR campus? Right!

What else would you expect from a "school" that self-awards it's own NC's. Truly a class ring......with NO CLASS!!

 

[AdamMc2003]

didn't toomer's corner burn? is it still there? if not, what will they roll this November??? maybe they will put all that toilet paper to use in what it was intended for, so that place won't stink as bad, :biggrin:

 

[CrimsonBleedRed]

A class ring with a toilet paper engraved on it?

A: I'm not surprise at the length, AU fans will go to be "creative" in anything they do.
B: Those kids at AU should not be allow to design rings anymore.
C: Who is dumber; the kids that came up with the design, or the people who bought the rings?
D: Those class rings are the closest to a NT ring AU will get in their lifetimes.

 

[THE BAMA IRISHMAN]

Toilet Paper on a Ring. Now that is just down right funny. :biggrin:

"Could I see your barnyard 500 dollar Toilet Paper (TP) ring, err cheap streamers." Most people get TP caught on their ring not engraved on IT. :biggrin: LMAO

Its always a pleasure being an ALABAMA Fan. As my nephew says "You can not make this stuff up. Its just too darn funny"

In the FUTURE side of things I smell money here. If they will buy that ring then I should be able to market special Toomer's Corner Streamers at twice the price of Charmins!

Four times the Charmin if your special streamers are Flame Retardant!!!
