    Blake TBlake T Do you have enemies then? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.Registered User regular
    I would write tiny cryptic messages on incredibly small pieces of paper and slip them into her jacket pocket when she left her desk

    example: apple = star wars

    you see, apples have cores. That means they are core-y. Like Cory. Her current boyfriend.

    And star wars, well, it was all about The Force. Which sounds like divorce.

    Therefore, Cory equals Divorce. Simple.

    She'd obviously see the logic and dump him and then she would go out with me and we would have a million sexes.

    Be honest rank.

    You were the zodiac killer's protege weren't you?

    Oh another

    In 2nd grade the typing teacher would reset the typing program we were all doing constantly because I'd go through the entire thing in about a week

    when asked if I type regularly at home, the only thing I could think of was typing in cheat codes into warcraft 3

    yeah....

    The only one I ever finished was a Twisted Metal fan RPG where you could run over pedestrians on the overworld map.

    It was like a slightly deeper version of Deathrace.

    I met a girl at a costume party once. She was Russian, and an editor at a literary journal, and we'll call her Zoya. So, when I tell you that I was attracted to her, please understand: I'm talking about someone who is attractive to me to an unprecedented degree.

    Clearly, I had to fuck this up somehow:

    I was talking with her and some other friend of hers, who asked Zoya, "Is Russian hard to learn?"

    "Oh, absolutely. It's one of the hardest languages to learn."

    I spouted, "I've read that the complexity of the Russian language is a mythical holdover from Communist government propaganda."

    She looked at me and offered a tight smile. I excused myself to look for too much alcohol.

    I found it.

    in fourth grade I created an elaborate board game for a class project (the game was called Fruit, Markets and Money, and looking back on what little I can remember from the rules, it was pretty geeky in that player strategy played a large role while random chance was basically reduced to card drawing on certain tiles and dice rolling to determine movement)

    I was out sick from school with bronchitis when it was time to present the project so I typed out very detailed rules so that people could enjoy my game

    my mom told me the teacher had called her and said everyone in the class really liked the game and I was incredibly proud and excited

    by the time I came back to school none of the other kids remembered the game or cared, and someone had spilled a drink on some of the game components and it was ruined

    I don't remember for sure but I think I probably cried a lot

    When I was 10 I got an after school detention for smearing shit all over the walls of the boys room

    I was completely innocent and to this day I have no idea why they think it was me.

    They were just like "You did it. We know you did."

    My mum was a teacher at the school and she took their side.

    Once, at Comic Con, I made a poor mixture of booze and drugs (British asprin AKA asprin from England) and Bogey and Nads had to drag my inconsolably fucked-up butt a mile and a half from one hotel to the one we were staying at.

    The next morning all I could think was, "Ah, man, I'm gonna miss Frank Miller."

    and I couldn't figure out the thing that let you make custom sprites so I tried to make the whole story so that it would star the pre-made character sprites

    oh in 7th grade I had an incredibly boring math teacher and basically the entire class was me reading books

    she sat me right next to her at the very front of the room, but no I just kept on reading books

    I think she called my dad once, but nope I just kept on reading books

    One time in high school I got caught passing notes during math class

    Teacher pulled the classic, "Maybe you should share what you wrote with the rest of the class"

    So I stood up, walked to the front of the class, and repeated what I had just written: "Why didn't anyone like the two vectors? Because they were always co-planing!"

    High school was surprisingly awesome for someone as nerdy as I.

    I remember renting Fighter Maker, it taking an entire memory card, and only creating one move for the guy with the afro before going "fuck this" and going back to Monster Rancher 2 or whatever.

    I think the next year I got another afterschool detention for doing that thing where you don't dry your hands after you wash them and you rub your wet hands on a friend's face and say "Don't you hate it when you piss on your hands??"

    My friend laughed, knew the joke well.

    Some girl walking past ran up to a teacher and told them I'd pissed on my hands and rubbed my piss on some other kid's face.

    She said "it splashed onto her"

    IT WASN'T EVEN WARM

    Oh man this reminds me

    we had a really mean and nasty history teacher in sophomore year of high school

    on the last day he was giving some lecture or speech about something and I got up, opened the CD player on his desk, put in a CD I burned of School's Out by Alice Cooper, mashed play and went back to my seat

    Pretty sure I thought that was the coolest possible thing to do

    Oh, and I read Gaunt's Ghosts books during my Spanish 2 class. To this day I can still regale you with the exploits of Colonel-Comissar Gaunt and call you some kind of a homosexual in Spanish. So, as far as I see it, it's win-win.

    I did the dragon shirts in middle school

    for about a month in high school I wore a monocle every day

    Eventually I tried to add a tophat to the ensemble but that's when the school administration finally told me to stop

    I tried to wear 3D glasses a year or so later but it just wasn't the same

    When I was little my parents never too me to the movies so to make myself look cool to all the other kids I would watch all the making ofs of those movies that were on tv in the early 90's and read the novelisations to make it look like I had seen the movie.

    Worked surprisingly well.

    it was my freshman year, and it started when i told a kid in my class to 'stop acting black'

    i got detention for being racist, but i still think a white kid talking in a 'ghetto accent' and talking about how he is going to 'cap some fool' is more racist than me telling him to stop
