[apocalypsos]

permetaform reminded me of a goofy high school memory by bringing up this tomato fight they have every year in this town in Spain. It's literally tomatoes everywhere.

Well, when my friends and I heard about it in Spanish class, we actually -- God help us -- decided to have a tomato fight of our own. (We didn't have cable. We had to make our own fun.) This is one of the advantages of living in the country or close to it, since I imagine it'd be difficult to fling tomatoes at each other in the city, where other people would find that strange. Er, yeah.

And, since we couldn't afford all that many tomatoes, we bought a bunch of water balloons, filled them with tomato juice, and used those. In the end, I think we should have gotten extra Spanish class credit just for coming out of the fight smelling like the highway after a head-on collision between a V8 tanker and a Ragu delivery truck.

EDIT: Hell, I'm bored. Tell me your funniest high school memory.

Hmm. Well, it might be at Hallowe'en when my music teacher dressed up as a speedbump and every once in awhile in the hallway, he'd scream "SPEEDBUMP!" and throw himself on the floor to slow the traffic.

Or, it might be when we got condom machines, only to discover the condoms came in little boxes and were made in India. We figured they we're that reliable, so we filled them with water and had a condom fight. And you'd hear people yelling "DUDE! That one had lube in it! Ewwwwww!"

That's all I can think of off the top of my head at the moment *eg*

That's the best thing ever.
