I was in a mixed 5th/6th grade class, so we had different groups in different math units. They'd go out into the hall to go over last night's homework while the rest of the class had work time. One day we heard this huge POP out there and one of the kids came in with his hair standing on end. Apparently he had stuck a paperclip in the cap of his pen and stuck it in a socket. Great times.

One of the things I like about that is that decades later, you still remember that about this guy. And if you came upon him, that's what you'd remember. It's the hilarious cruelty of the stupid stuff we do as kids never fully being expunged. It's like an uncle or aunt never forgetting that you pissed yourself in front of them when you were six, so you're forever some kind of bladder freak. To one of The Boss' aunts, she'll forever be a sullen teen with the severe haircut and dyed jet-black hair.

Oh yeah it would absolutely be the first thing I'd bring up with him. The other would probably be that I got into martial arts because of his half-hearted bullying of me on the school bus. So I don't feel too bad about laughing at his minor electrical misfortune.

My example is a kid who on the first day of kindergarten and grade one cried when his mother dropped him off. He has his own law firm in BC now, specializing in immigration law (I just googled), and I think he's run in a federal election. But I just remember him as the kid who cried.

I'd wager he still thinks of himself that way, too. We can "grow up" as much as we want, but we never really do.

I hope that's not how he regards himself. Clearly he's gained a lot of confidence and ambition since he was seven.

When I was a kid, I thought it made sense to see what happens when you stick a pair of tweezers in an outlet (answer: lotsa sparks and a blackened tweezer). My dad was an electrician, and I think my stupidity made him question keeping me under his roof.

There was a kid in kindergarten who was ways pulling his dick out. I only see his father in searches.

I hope he found fame as a porn actor and not as, well, a subway flasher.

Oh yeah, I heard about this. It's all sourced to one reddit post from about a year ago where some youngster just says that they had to get used to working with older people (gen Xers) and learn when they gave a thumbs up emoji they weren't mad at them. These articles are all just sourcing from each other and making up quotes and stuff. Right wing lying outrage-o-sphere in full effect.

ETA: here's a thread on it

Saddest is when we have to play tambourine or some shit.

So I wasn't wrong in feeling pity for drummers when their bands did that unplugged stuff on MTV?

Generally, yes. Those that chose to play congas are less sympathetic because 9 times out of 10, they weren’t playing them right and you can just tell by the conga setup.

It's always wrong to feel pity for drummers.

I imagine they were once innocent babies who, thru God's neglect, fell into a deeply sinful and shameful life.

I always liked the Cure Unplugged set.
