[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.

My AP European History class had one of the best teachers in the school. She was really funny and cool and used the word 'bastard' to describe illegitimate children of the royals. (she's now state assemblywoman)

She was always a little late in getting to class, so one of the kids, Jon, who was sitting in the back row was saying how we needed a way to distract her so we wouldn't have to do work. Hearing her high heels coming down the hall, I yelled "quick, somebody pass out!" which was followed by a thump.

The first thing she saw? Jon lying on the floor in the back of the room. After a short pause, she told him to get up. He started saying "my leg! my leg!" so she threatened to kick him in the other one to even it out.

Another day in that same class we decided to turn all of our desks sideways. The teacher walked to the other side of the room, where we were facing, and began teaching.
Man, I loved that class.

I miss high school. I have a list of all the inside jokes between me and my friends.
