Is that the infamous moment in school ?

the day the network admin pulled me out of class and quietly informed me he had discovered my little trick to pirate and broadcast (unfiltered) internet access throughout the school's LAN..

i was in the yearbook club, and computer science club, i got to build the yearbook server... i threw 3 NIC's in it...

the network at the school had one subnet for everything "inside" the school, and it had an http content filter (some software that ran on the name/domain server, called bess if i remember correctly) another subnet that i discovered was on the other side of the bess server, and i could use an openDNS nameserver for resolution, well i threw one NIC on this network, and used windows 2000 server internet connection sharing to share the unfiltered connection to the second NIC, all you had to know was the ip address of the nic, and assign it manually anywhere on the whole entire campus's LAN, and you successfully bypassed the content filtration...

the third nic, i just let grab it's ipv4 stuff from the regular "inside" dhcp/name/domain server...
so as far as anyone else knew, it was just a fileserver for yearbook pics/data that sat in the corner in the back of the computer lab

long story short... i didnt get in trouble :)

got away with it for well over half the school year, let a few people know about it, and they let a few, and we eventually ran out our luck hehe...

- I caught 22 grapes in my mouth thrown from 25 feet on stage in front of 2500 people during a talent show in my sophomore year.

- Nearly got suspended because the jazz band played Zeppelin's Rock & Roll instead of our school's alma mater during an assembly.

That's about it. I was otherwise a good boy :)

Was so high my first day of senior year that I couldn't find my first class of the day in a school that I had gone to for 3 years prior. Decided to go smoke more instead of going to class. Got suspended the next day.

There was that day when me and a buddy had detention for being late to C+ class (usually getting high). We sat in detention talking about our weekend plans. Finally the teacher sent everyone else out and told us basically he doesn't want us to come back to class, doesn't care what we do, would prefer not to have us the next year. He got his wish, he went on to some sort of volunteer work the next year in some 3rd world country.

Took some acid and made it through about 4 classes. That was a rough day but ohh so fun for the group of us.

Sometime in my junior year they have this state mandated standardized test that takes half of one day and half of a second day and was required. Once complete you could go home. We ABBACADABBA'd the first day and skipped the second day. We then got a third day the next week for make up. It was like a free pass away from school.

I don't really remember much from school except the shenanigans and getting drunk/high.

My most fond memory of school is how much I hate teachers and school in general. Awhile back I went to a birthday party for friend of the family who is a teacher. When other teachers showed up at the party it took everything I had to stop from saying something very rude. To this day I hate teachers and anyone who works at a school with a passion.

Why does this not surprise me?

While not infamous, my senior year we saw a body in the snowbank outside of school. This is MN and a teacher was at a conference the previous night, drank until she passed out in the snow bank, then froze to death. My first class was right outside the snow bank and telling my classmates to look out the window with my story was too ridiculous for them to believe. Then 20 minutes later when they move us out of the room to the cafeteria, people started to believe me.

At a pretty crazy party I had a chance to be with two girls at once, but I didn't realize what was going on until the next day.

I got the reputation of being gay and it took me a while to shake it.

I have many but my favorite was when I was in middle school, 1978, science class, gas valves were all over the class for the bunsen burners, turn turned the valve full blast, took out lighter and me and my friends used to play flamethrower wars before the teacher showed up. Friends fro got lit once and POOF! Instant crew cut. No one got in trouble. Ah, the good old days.

There was a corner in the back hallway of the band hall that was out of site from the security cameras, as well as anyone walking through the hallway. Needless to say, that tiny area saw a lot of action in my 4 years of high school.

During a senior assembly, I opened the auditorium doors, letting everyone escape to run off campus for lunch. This was after I had opened all of the gates in the parking lot in order for everyone to make a clean getaway.

I have a stupid HS-movie like moment.

I took my hot sizzling date to my Senior prom- a slim waisted C-cup cutie. We were dancing and grinding. We were making out throughout the last song (Graduation - Vitamin C).

When it ended, the lights went on. We conitnued to make out. Suddenly the whole class formed a circle around us and chanted my name- 'Zeze! Zeze! Zeze!'. (not my real name)

Good shiet.

Also I touched & tasted boobs for the first time that night. She was 16 yo and her first time too. No one ever violated her top-of-the-line grade A boobs prior to me.

Countless fights. One ended up with a kid knocked out/taken away on an ambulance....

The craziest moment was probably banging my wife on top of Gym bleachers......with the lights on and everything.....we would've been so screwed if someone walked in.......as we were leaving the gym....class was coming in.

Next time we chose our location more wisely.....

Another one might be driving down a little path with my car to skip school (school hired a security guard to watch parking lot).

Plenty more, but enough embarrassment for now.

I hit a teacher with a snowball and had to sit in the office all day.

Senior year I went to 2 high schools - the second was for a 3 year college course. Well out of the few kids that got to go, I was the only one that had a car. We would regularly go eat lunch places, skip school, etc. The school got pissed and said they'd have to cancel the program if people didn't start taking the bus.

At the end of the year they gave an attendance report to my parents. Was not good haha...

Overall I wasn't bad in middle school / HS. It was college that ruined me ;)
