Actually, young Mr Meister didn't graduate:
Lewis said he moved to Brooklyn, New York with his family as a child and attended Thomas Jefferson High School, from which he left in his junior year.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Lewis_(actor)

Few things are known for certain about his early life, evidently how he wanted it:
"Lewis was born Albert Meister, probably in 1923, although he insisted that he was born in 1910. This, and Lewis's many other questionable stories, means that much of the actor's life is a broth of conjecture that his fans will no doubt squabble over for years to come."
Id.

One thing's for sure, though- Grandpa was da man!

You're doing it wrong, the pictures generally aren't supposed to have anything to do with the text....

Right. And there was only 1 train of thoug t in there. When your buddy's ATV blew up, it's really more important that there was talent at the Institution, and that your grandmother knits wool booties for kittens.

ROFLMAO!!!

I was racking it old school at my beloved institution when my grandmother walked in with a Falafel that she said wasn't as good as the ones you could get in the old country but yet she still kept giving me a deep tissue massage so good that I was sore when I went down to look at the beautiful ladies from afar

Dude, there is falafel in your post and there is falafel in your picture. That's not how it works. The picture has to have nothing to do with the post. (Glenn has it right--see above).

(CNN) -- A 14-year-old Dutch girl set sail Wednesday morning on a journey to travel around the world.

Laura Dekker left her home port of Den Osse at 9:10 a.m., her spokesman Peter de Lange confirmed.

"She will arrive in Portugal, near Lisbon, in two or three weeks," de Lange said. "She is traveling in her yacht, Guppy, with her father until Lisbon where she will start the official solo sailing trip around the world."

Dekker's attempt to circle the globe hasn't always been smooth sailing.

Last August, Dutch authorities placed Dekker under state care for two months after her parents refused to prevent her from undertaking the potentially dangerous voyage.

Last October, a Dutch court ruled against letting Dekker sail solo around the world, saying she is not experienced enough to make the trip on her own. However, she would be allowed to travel this year if she fulfilled certain requirements the court established for her to sail.

Dekker is seeking to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.

My wife ain't too bright. One day our car got stolen. I said to her, 'Did you get a look at the guy?' She said, 'No, but I got the license number.'
