class rings

[Chojin]

so, my dad wants me to get a class ring for my bachelor's in business. i think it's a little ostentatious and want to wait for my master's before i bother with a ring. he thinks it's worth it to have it for the 2-3 years in-between and that a ring from UB would carry weight when doing business in maryland. WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK.

also, i wanted you guys to help me choose a ring if i do get one.

============
here's what my dad and i compromised on:

base ring format:

the gold color would be ~$1000. stainless steel would be ~600, silver would be ~800, white gold would be ~1000. i think gold would look best against my skintone, but is too expensive for a bachelor's ring and would probably go with steel.

the big stone would be replaced with:

the black around around the diamond is a stone itself, i'm thinking either black to be consistent or garnet for my birthstone:

the garnet would appear much darker irl though.

============

here's the ring i was looking at on my own:

base ring format

colors and prices are as above. this ring pretty much costs the same as the other one, but it would be smaller and more understated than a superbowl ring.

============

what do you fags think about:
1. should i get a ring at all?
2. which one of those two would look best?

[Aaarg]

class rings are for chumps and douchebags and asshats

[k0k0]

1. I wouldn't get a ring. I felt stupid enough wearing a wedding ring when I was engaged. She made me wear it early because of how often I get hit on. You should get one that you can wear in your pinky, that's always classy. And class rings are all about class.

2. Second one is less homozexual. Maybe you are all homozexuals.

[Aaarg]

but i guess if you're in business you're just dealing with dipshits who put stock in things like class rings so whatever

burn everything, i say

[Dimnos]

I would keep my money. How much muscle milk could you buy for that?

CHOJIN STARS IN BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S 2

I got class rings, because I felt like I was supposed to for some reason, and never wore them ever. Not even the medschool one, which has I think a caduceus on one side and then I insisted on an artist palette on the other. And the top has a gold caduceus in the garnet. It's atrocious but at the time I thought it was the least of the evils.

The one thing out of the whole purchase that I didn't regret was that I left it plain gold instead of the burnished look. I think it looks better in plain gold.

Class rings are pointless. Everyone wanted one in high school and, of course, nobody in their right mind wears a high school class ring after high school is over. I feel it's the same with college, only I don't know a single person who bought one of those.

But hey, if you want to make your alma mater part of your identity and be a grown-ass man who wears a gaudy class ring, that's your business!

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I would get one but I'm already too geechi.

[Kitsa]

My aunt lost her high school class ring like 25 years ago, and someone found it under the seat of a used car they bought and returned it to her. It was on their local news.

That's about exhausted my personal experience with class rings.

To paraphrase the words of René Magritte, "Ceci n'est pas un hamburger avec fromage."

You should change your name to Pavlov.

[Kitsa]

he needed some sort of special pickle for that.

I respect kahl's tenacity.

I don't see cheese on that ring though, so that is a hamburger, the rule was no cheeseburger pics

:technicality

In answer to your 2 questions. 1) don't get a ring, nobody wears them 2) If you must get a ring then get a pinky ring like a mobster, or rock that hamburger ring and be my hero forever

[ItalianStereotype]

I think dressing and speaking like an educated man with credentials would look better than a $1000 boner on your hand.

This is the first time i've ever heard of you spurning a $1000 boner

...does anyone actually see that ugly thing and think "THIS GUY IS THE MAN FOR THE JOB! JUST LOOK AT THAT GIANT, GAUDY RING! IT REMINDS ME OF MY SWEET GRANDMAMA,"?

'Cause it's pretty ugly, and I kinda doubt that any but the douchiest of people would think that wearing it isn't somehow detrimental to your success.

[Sacks]

More like "no class rings" a-hew-hoo~.

[kahljorn]

ALL OF US ARE BANNED FOR NOT TAKING CHOJINS THREAD SERIOUSLY

[Grislygus]

I would add to the conversation except everyone's already gone over what I agree with

Besides, people will assume it's frigging high school ring unless you hold it right under their face and say LOOKIT MY RING

[Aaarg]

kaljohn gets 200 pickels for the hamburger ring

[Chojin]

guys that was clearly a turkeyburger ring and not in violation of our most sacred ethical policies

anyway what you guys are saying is pretty much what i was saying to dad. dear old dad really thinks it's a good idea, but at least i am now armed with the knowledge that a handful of saucy idiots on the internet agree with me.

[Sacks]

You could always put it on a string and give it to your special sweetie to wear.

[Sethomas]

I think Grislygus nailed it. If you wear a college class ring, people assume that you can't move on from the glory days when your high school lacrosse team almost made it to regional semifinals.

That being said, I'm generally in favor of wearing right-hand rings. Mostly because I'm conditioned to the feel of wearing one, probably. I haven't worn a ring in several months and that finger still feels naked. However, it can be tricky to find one that isn't so large that it looks like you paid for it by selling food stamps so that it would convince people you're wealthy, or so small that people assume that your grandmother was a large woman and you wear her ring to remember her.

[kahljorn]

MY RING LETS PEOPLE KNOW THAT I AM PART OF AN ANCIENT ERUDITE ORDER WHICH IS TO BE GRANTED DELICIOUS HAMBURGERS

[Pentegarn]

I didn't think of that but Gus is right. If I saw your ring, I would assume it was a high school ring, not bother to look closer to see if it is for sure (cause last I checked you never were on a winning Super Bowl or World Series or NBA Finals team) and then just think, "oh, that is sad"

[executioneer]

only get that class ring if you can flip it open and drug someone's drink with it

[Pentegarn]

Or if it can decode secret messages that tell you to "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5OWoG44VAw)"

[k0k0]

Don't get a class ring unless you're gonna get one for each finger so you can star in music videos and show how successful you are.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

great job guys. now all the top page ads are about buying rings.

[k0k0]

I haven't seen one about buying rings yet. The only ad that pops up over and over lately is the one for the monsters cereal from target. That thing is on every page.

[Zomboid]

I love adblocker. I haven't seen an ad in over a year.

What kind of dick wears a ring like that? Christ.

:lol

[Supafly345]

I will get a class ring only if I really really really loved the people of my graduating class. But seeing as I am past the age of thinking college is "totally sweet bra" I can't imagine that happening.

[Zomboid]

Well past.

[elx]

what's a college/highschool ring?

[Kitsa]

This is embarrassing...I actually had one for JUNIOR high. Why, I have no idea. I hated that fucking place just as much as all the others.

[Evil Robot II]

you should use the money to buy an 8-ball of cocaine

[kahljorn]

you should use it to buy an ounce of cocaine

[Grislygus]

what the hell kind of rich kid crap is a jr high ring

[Kitsa]

I don't know :( They sent a flyer home and my parents wanted me to get one. It's ugly, too. If I can find it I'll take a picture of it.
