That is AWESOME. I feel like we would get along. I am in my 40s and confused as to why no one wants to be very quietly and patiently maniacal with me. I never was able to obtain an actual stink bomb. I just did horrible, horrible things in high school and somehow got away with all of it and never, ever got in serious trouble!

I had 134 tardies out of our 160 days of school. They called me into the headmaster's office to reprimand me. And I said, "you know, if you had any sort of punishment system for tardies I wouldn't be late." So the following year they actually had rules about tardiness and how it would affect you (we didn't have detention or anything). The year they made a policy with punishments I had 0/160.

I listened to an episode of WTF (dislike Maron but enjoy him as an interviewer) with Huey Lewis and it was WILD. He was apparently going to become an engineer and had a full ride to MIT and was basically a genius but his parents were hippies and DEMANDED that he travel the world with no money for 1 year before entering college. While in Morocco he was broke, doing drugs and playing harmonica on the street for money when he decided to be a musician instead.
