i saw a kid in elementary school get his mullet ripped off by a rough ghetto chick. he was a rednick and she was a hood rat, they got into a fight and she kicked the shit out of him and in the process ripped his mullet off. well most of it anyways. his rat tail was completely gone too. she started laughed and he started crying.

i was part of a food fight in middle school. little circle pizzas were everywhere, and its got kind of out of hand, neon jumpsuits and converse allstars were covered in pizza sause and rc cola.

priceless.

[thesnailsshow]

I threw up in the cafeteria and everyone flipped out....
i was "barf boy" for a week.

Garbage Pail Kids were fun

i remember one cool incident from grade school when they had completely renovated our lunch room, shining white walls and all, and this girl comes in, decides that lunch tasted terrible that day (as usually) and takes her plate smashing it right on the wall. that was cool.

[aleks]

i still remember what shoes jukka had back then, although i met him 7 or 8 years later.strange, innit? i was scared of him...

[jukka]

hmmm....what shoes have it been ?

scared of me ? hah

[MUX]

ooo.. i remeber mixing Potassium permanganat and glycerine.. so see the cool purple and green flames in the schoolyards corners... but the mixes of the two chemical starting getting bigger and bigger.. so i kinda progressed into minibombs.. and making this napal thingy

damn i was one trouble youth

[Lady E]

i got into big trouble ages 6 for drawing on the outside wall of a school building with crayons for an entire lunch break, with my friend who then blamed it all on me. i had to stand up in the class for the rest of the afternoon and i remember the wintry trees and grey sky blurring through my tears to this day.

we also used to have fun setting things on fire with magnifying glasses

play a lot of british bulldogs, despite it being banned

and kiss chase.

older memories: at about 13 at convent school, me and friends jumped up and down on the earthquake simulator at the geology museum in london and broke it and were locked in a room in the museum for the rest of the day.

one of the girls in 4th year when we were in 3rd year drank a bottle of vodka before coming to school (on her paper round apparently) then called her form teacher miss travers a 'fucking cunt' then tried to rip the headmistress sister mary agnes' habit off and was dragged out of the school by ambulance men to have her stomach pumped. and came into school the next day right as rain.

another girl put sulphuric acid in the teachers fish tank and keyed all their cars

we staged a sit in outside the staff room once for being banned from performing in the end of year concert because some of us had been tagging the desks. we marched round all the lessons and got everyone from our year out of their lessons. we got the ban overturned!

etc - there were loads of things going on at my school.

i think the SPAM thing was good,
when you would say to some one "whats MAPS backwards?" and when they say SPAM you hit them on the forehead with your open hand.

or nuggets - when you would wack someone on the top of the head with your knuckles.

or
SKILL - an african bum disease.

i bet you really wanted one tho.

i miss the studio dec, can i come back now?

[JE:5]

There was the token mad kid who would do anything that anyone told him aswell, such as eating old chewing gum off the floor, sitting in bins and telling the dinner ladies to fuck off.

[decadnids]

yes i wanted a flat top!
was gutted.

the mad kid at our school once broke a girls arm when he was giving her a chinese burn.
actually, they where both nutters the bloke foing the breaking and the girl getting her arm broke.

I still remember their names.

[aleks]

what´s a chinese burn?

i had a rats tail too...

[decadnids]

a chinese burn is when you grab somenes arm with both hands and then turn in the opposite direction, thus causing the arm to hurt.

i guess chinese burn is probably not PC, but i am not very PC - so fuck it.

[mr franks]

my flat top was like val kilmers in top gun.

nuggets was our word for booze when we were 16.

there were some fuked up kids at my school, seen some of the most impressive displays of violence there.
one guy bite another guys ear off in a fight, then about a week later another guy was kicked through the window of a double decker bus, from the top deck an all.

yes - i recall a chap jumping onto one of our supply teachers and trying to strangle her.

them where the days ....

[Marolo]

my little brother beat a teacher up - she deserved it, but he was expelled.
I got suspended twice for smoking pot.

The headmaster was this old homophobic Irish guy - A year after I left the school he was murdered. They found him naked on his bed, with his legs tied up with a tie, asphyxiated. Apparently he used to have loads of rent boys round his house every weekend. No kidding.

all the craziest and most extreme school stories I've heard were from Scots. Proper nutters, no fear.

we had a phantom shitter at our school who kept
on leaving logs in the urinals and on the ceiling.
the culprit was never found out.

[pille'ocheoni]

we got into tons of more trouble during the middle school and high school years. mostly drugs and such, and vandalism, and just being stupid.

i acually got my first tattoo while skipping school. i couldnt hide it that long, you never can, and it was a big one, so i kind of got fucked.

then in middle school, i got into a fight and was suspended, but my father whom i was living with was in japan for 6 months, was unable to pick me up , and they were unable to call him. so i decided to run away, and walk 30 miles to a freinds house.

well i made it 22 miles, and walked for about 8-9 hours. made the mistake of going into a gas station, and asking for directions, and they kind of got the picture. 1miles down the road i was run down by a state trooper. hand cuffs, and juvy came later. father didnt find out for 4 days, then flew back from japan, and i got some hell. this was very close to my admission and a long term facility.

heres the wack ass place i spent a 1 1/2 of my trouble teen life.

we had a phantom bog roll vandal who used to pull a whole sheet of bog roll out of the dispenser and fil the entire cubicle with it. one time i was taking a shit and i heard a person come in, heavy breathing, then the sound of hundreds of sheets of bogroll coming out in an orgasmic stream. i looked underneath but couldn't identify the feet.

I used to spend my time in chemestry making bongs. One class when i had finished one i was particulary proud of i could'nt help but try it out at lunch time in the air raid shelter at the back of my school. Little did i no mr king had watched me building my pride and joy and followed me and two friends over to the shdllter. He walked in half way threw a bowl, I tried to tell him i was conducting an experiment but .... lets just say it all ended in tears !

[jukka]

i had a boy in my class who was talking to his arm, it was when i had to re-do 9th class...he called his arm lefty and everybody was having a big laugh at him so i started protecting him from all those stupid idiots !
after some weeks he even stopped talking to his arm.

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

Yes, you where talking to it so much he couldn't get a word in!! :D

[bitch one]

'tell it to the hand cos the arm ain't listening'

ooo we could have fun with that particular peccadillo eh?

[Paddy]

i once bounced a mini basketball really hard in the playground to see how high it could go. unfortunatley for me, it was right outside the headmistresses office. it went straight through her window, smashing it, showering her with glass and hitting her.
i had to pay for the window and got a good hiding when i got home.

quite amusing to look back at though.

[deccard]

jeesus don´t tease him about that. he still talks in third person about himself and his hm "friend" :)

[Basic 2: The Revenge]

There is a list as long as my arm I reckon...I may be going out on a limb to suggest such a thing though.

[bitch one]

people like that should be kept out of 'arm's way

[JE:5]

Does he deserve the right to bare arms?

[Me?]

Reading through this has reminded me of a fair bit of stuff that happened at my school.
One lad got his shoe laces tied to the handrails on the school bus so he hung there upside down apparently for ages after everyone had got off the bus.
On another occassion we tied our year heads Mini bumber to the part of the school wall which yanked her bumper off when she reversed, we also put the front of her Mini up on bricks on another occasion. She made my life hell and hated my friend Elaine and I.
Elaine and I got drunk at school youth club and Elaine went into a coma, we got suspended for 2 weeks and youth club got stopped.
My friend Clayton and I used to use the office in the Music block as our practice room as there were not enough rooms to go round, we caned the phone bill by dialling premium rate places and calling the Whitehouse in the US. We also had the numbers for No 10 Downing St and Buckingham Palace which we also called a lot, dont know where Clayton got the numbers from.
When the teachers strike was on in the 80s the whole school got together with the other comprehensive up the road and created havoc at our school, the other schools kids marched down to our school and encouraged the whole school to leave, the teachers started locking all the kids in the classrooms so everyone started jumping out of the windows, even from the first floor.
On another jumping out of windows one, we had a supply teacher who couldnt control the class at all, the whole class started jumping out of the window (this time not off the first floor) and running back round to the entrance of the classroom and out of the window again, the whole class near enough was doing this, the teacher couldnt handle it anymore and went to get the head, by the time he arrived we were all sat down studying away as if nothing had happened.
They are just the things I can remember right now! I was always in trouble!

<a href="http://www.playgroundlaw.com/">THIS</a> is a whole website dedicated to school memories. I haven't put any up there though, but there are some from my school.

I'll tell some stories of gunplay and rape soon but I'm in a rush now.

[love_tempo]

Once I saw a beggar outside the (windowed) classroom door. She was waiting there in her shawl trying to catch the teacher's attention. So I put up my hand and said something like: 'Sir, there's a tinker waiting outside the door'. A Tinker being a bit like an Irish Gypsy.

So he went outside to talk to the women. He came back purple with embarressment as it transpired that the women was not a tinker, but the mother of one of the pupils. The child was mortified...I feel ashamed to think of it today :(

This was the mid 80's in Ireland, most people, including my family, were poor but some were VERY poor. In fact this family had over 10 children.

and <a href="http://giantrobot.com/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=6405&highlight=hopalong">THIS</a> is a thread on another board about "weirdos in your town", which isn't exactly on topic, but has a few stories about the way kids got together to victimise mentalists.

More to the point, does he deserve the right to arm bears? (yes)

latin class, one late weekday afternoon. fountain pen rolled off the desk
i had normally been so careful to remember to replace the lid of my fountain pen to avoid damaging the nib, however that day, i had put it down momentarily, to refill from my ink bottle, and as i unscrewed the lid my elbow nudged the pen off the edge of the desk sideways. Time slowed to a horrific crawl as i watched the pen, which was weighted at the tip, rotate to point nib-down, and then speed to it's inevitable arrow-like demise, as nib embedded itself into the floorboards, ruined forever, whilst the pen sproinged audibly causing all the class to turn and witness upon my face the emotional blow that was the death of my pen.
