Your highschool stereotype

Student government clique. Mixed with a little dash of the varsity wrestling clique. Good times, good times.

( you'll notice that I went way over my daily exclamation point allotment, but I think this is an occasion worthy of "too many" exclamation points, don't you?!)

[Marduk]

Squirrel, my poetry professor (who also teaches some fiction classes) says that you get 3 exlamation points per piece.

Using more than three per word is a bit past "too many."

This may be hard to believe, but I was in the band geek/math nerd/academic over-achiever groups. I legitimately liked going to class (most of the time), and was always near the top, but never quite there (Curse you bald headed kid who still scored higher than me despite spending time in class on things like sleeping or sanding your coconut!)

[Whistler]

tell us the story behind the coconut please

[Craig Jessop]

tell us the story behind the coconut please

Seconded.

Well, there was this one boy in high school (we'll call him Baldy, because he always kept his head shaved). Baldy and I were often in the same classes. He was the genius type who never really did anything in class and still aced tests, which drove the competitive side of me slightly crazy. For a while during my junior year, we were in both BC Calculus and AP Language together, and for some reason, he had a coconut and would sit in the back of the classroom, sanding it. I never figured out why he was sanding a coconut. It was one of those strange mysteries of life. Maybe he was going to cut it in half and use it Monty-Python-style...

Do any of you know of a reason why someone would be sanding a coconut?

[Squirrel]

You mean the whole coconut- with the "meat" still on the inside, or just the halves?

[Indefinite Integral]

I think it was a whole coconut. It had probably been drained of the coconut milk. However, I was more focused on taking notes than watching Baldy sand his coconut.

[Squirrel]

So- it could have had fermenting coconut meat inside...? Well, uh- cricket ball, homemade spirits, or general amusement at messing with people. That's the best I can come up with.... Oh! He could have been trying to see how thin he could get the coconut before breaking through to the middle? That's what I'd do.

NerdGirl, if you have Sonic in Canada, you can get them. I actually haven't had one yet. Don't want to make myself sick.

[Portia]

I'm probably going to Hell for breaking Lent. BUT IT WAS THE BOARD REUNION, GUYS.

[Squirrel]

Umm- are you Catholic now? 'cause as far as I know, Mormons don't do lent. And- Imogen- she won't get in trouble, will she?

I do Lent, squirrel. Speak for yourself. Board writers have observed it for a long time, now.
