Dang! I almost missed a good thread. Geez, I have no idea what I was in highschool other than pimple faced.
I got good enough grades to avoid final exams, but that was the extent of my academic exploits. I never avoided the bullies: went toe to toe a couple of times and got the crap beat out of me, but they never bothered me again.
I was a member of the chess club, but played poker with the '2 star' boys (they were in a 2 year shop kinda program) at lunch.
Bob, you clearly went to an urban school. The hotly debated topics in our rural highschool where Chevy vs Ford, how many times you got laid and Chevy vs. Ford...
I had fun in highschool, but was very ready to move on by the end of grade 12.
