Anyways, it was an ordinary day, and in the middle of first hour I was just bored to death when my friend Eric needed a pen. So, I gave him a cheap plastic pen. He wanted me to hold it so he could 'chop' it in half with his hands. And he did. It wasn't all that amazing, but still pretty cool. I had him hold mechanical pencils, and I chopped them in half. He thought that was pretty amazing, so I did it some more. The hour went by as we both were picking up the shards of mechanical pencils, and so I went to second hour. I impressed some more people in front of the class, and lots of people were giving me pencils to chop in half. Of course I was having lots of fun, but I had work to do in the class. It was in the beginning of second hour when somebody offered me to break a red pen, and I said "Sure,"; thinking that I could break it with no problem. That's where I was wrong. It was a big red pen, thicker than the mechanical pencils I was breaking before. So my friend Eric held the pen for me, and I concentrated as I started to swing my hand down to obliterate the pen. And then my hand started hurting like hell when a big chunk of plastic impaled my hand. Just kidding. I successfully chopped the pen in half, and everyone was staring at me with astonishment. Well, to be honest it was the wrong kind of astonishment I was expecting, because I looked down, and what I saw was the epicenter of a huge ink blob. Yes, the pen exploded. Ink splattered in all directions from a meter radius. Not only did it drench me, but it also drenched my good friend Eric. And the floor. It wasn't for another 10 seconds or so until the whole class was laughing and the teacher noticed. My teacher got kind of pissed, but she just made me clean up the huge mess. Of course it took a while, but it wasn't that bad to clean up. It was a good laugh, and despite the huge mess it made, was totally worth it.

Also, (totally different story, but still funny)
It was the middle of first hour, and somebody's phone went off during a test. It was really loud, too, and went off for a good 30 seconds. My teacher finally turned around after the phone stopped ringing, and asked if someone had their phone on. The person with the phone said that it was the TV next door, and my teacher believed him *;D

Here are some pictures of my hand after the pen exploded.
It was a little worse than this because some of it rubbed off before I took the pictures and got home.

best thing i've done in school was teach kids the proper way to fling tater tots (back in 6-8th grade)
the key was to do it without getting noticed since staff was like the plague on us.
everyone took those paper tray/bowl shaped things and stuck a tater tot in it and hit the other end to fling it, but that didn't work too well. the genius i was (and hater of school food, hence why i had ziplock bags) took a ziplock bag and filled it 3/4 with air and sealed it, pushed in a dent on one side at an angle, stuck the tot in it and slammed the mass of air. it ended up going to the far side of the cafeteria and landing on a window sill way up high.
many laughs were had those days.

Rofl, I loved flinging pieces of fruit across the cafeteria with the plastic bag.

good to see another martial artist out there ;D I won state in the sparring but I don't seem to be too good at "form" I think as long as I can knock out/beat the other guy "proper form" doesn't matter as much :p I'm gonna see if I can find my trophy it somewhere in a box

found it :D

sorry for the messy desk I just unloaded a whole box on it ;D ;D ;D

Just remember the scene from the Indiana Jones movie in the market, where the crazy swordsman guy comes out, swinging his sword around, being all badass, and totally about ready to kick Indy's ass.  So Indy pulls out his pistol, shoots the guy, and walks away.

well back in my freshman year (2 years ago), my friend who can steal anything with anyone noticing was standing next to me in the lunch line. The lady asked what I wanted then handed me my lunch. Then I stood off to the side and waited for my friend.
When the lady turned around he snagged the Seasoning salt (not to mention there were 2 other lunch ladies and they somehow didnt see). It was a huge square container, probably 1/2 or 3/4 a gallon lol. He shoved it in my backpack and we went outside. I then spotted the goth's and losers lol, they were all standing in a circle. I took out the seasoning salt and just starting running around them pouring the season salt around them. I made a big circle of seasoning salt, trying to keep them in the barrier! They all stood in the circle confused and me and my friend had quite the laugh.
hence the word "Freshman", that's the kind of stuff we did that year.

A picture is worth 1000 words. For my epic school story I will show you why I don't play football for my school. Our football team sucks. Here is a snapshot of the score board during our freshman game, notice there is still 5 minutes left in the SECOND QUARTER.

BTW, our freshman teams haven't won any games in at least 2 years.

I did a few cool things in school.  I went to a residential high school for smart kids, so we had plenty of time and smarts to do lots of cool stuff on campus.  Some friends and I climbed the school's smokestacks at night, repelled off of the top of the tallest building at the school (6 stories on that side), hung banners (that we had taken from the rafters of an off-limits part of the school and used to put our messages on the back) from the roof of the school the day of our graduation, did some CD-exploding in the hallway in our dorm room (got caught in the act, but luckily by one of the cooler adults on campus), several of the classic microwave tricks, repelled off of anything we could get to, such as catwalks above the auditorium and stage several times, and broke into pretty much everywhere in the school we wanted to go (master keys came in handy).

Our last stunt was going to be good, but we ran out of time for it.  Each hall had an adult "chaperone" living on the hall with the students, and ours was pretty much a douche.  We went behind one of the maintenance buildings on campus and procured a whole bunch of bricks, and hid them, and were going to use them to build a brick wall across our adult's door while he was still inside.  Not mortar them in place or make it solid, but just cover the door such that we wouldn't be able to disassemble the wall; so he'd have either had to knock the whole thing down (best noise ever), or call someone else to come help him and take the wall down, which would've been even better I think.  We did, however, on several occasions, pile every piece of furniture in our lounge in front of his door while he wasn't inside: big refrigerator, 2 couches, a bunch of chairs, it filled the whole 8 foot wide hallway all the way to the ceiling and much wider than his door.

And our dorm room was convenient such that we played a good song for the whole campus every Friday afternoon, everybody outside (and some places inside the buildings) on campus could hear whatever we played, we had several hundred watts of sound in a very good location.  Also, a few times playing reveille at 6am to let everyone know they should be waking up soon.  The guys on the floor below us didn't appreciate that one.  [smiley=evil.gif]

At the end of 8th grade, there was a bully named Artem that enjoyed stealing meat products from me. First, I left to go to the bathroom and he stole my Slim Jim, then a couple of days later, he yanked a bag of beef jerky right out of my hands! I decided that was it, and I came up with a nice scheme. I took some beef jerky and soaked it in Dave's Insanity Sauce (250,000 Scoville Units vs. 6,000 for a jalapeno). I let it soak for 36 hours so that the sauce was fully absorbed. I brought it to school, telling everyone about my plan so that it would be all the more humiliating for Artem when carried out. When lunch finally came, I went to seek out Artem. I walked past him, saying "Mmmmm, beef jerky." "Gimme that!" he said, and I pretended to act upset while really just trying not to fall to the floor laughing. There was time for that later. Artem took a HUGE bite of the jerky and commented on how it was spicy, but good. I laughed and told him it was my favorite, then walked away. The thing about habanero pepper sauce is that it takes a few minutes for the pain to climax, and that Artem was only feeling a fraction of what he would be soon. My thoughts proved correct. In a couple of minutes, Artem came by and started to swear at me about how hot it was, and I told him that I love it that way. He then attempted to look tough by continuing to chew at the jerky, and then walked away. I followed him to his cronies, who tried a tiny piece and commented that it really wasn't that spicy. (Well it wouldn't be if you eat half a gram of jerky!) Artem started to chew at the jerky more, his face becoming red and him becoming frantic. He ran to the water fountain and drank for 7 minutes straight, his face red as a beet. However, no amount of water could quell the heat, so he stole my fruit snacks and applesauce! I decided this was the end of it, and as lunch ended with Artem in extreme pain still, I told him how he could "get rid of the heat." I instructed him to put his forefingers on the tear ducts of his eyes and massage them until the pain was gone. Artem went to the water fountain, crying and washing his massively swollen eyes off in the water fountain, late to class. Everyone knew what had happened, and his reputation went down the drain, the "mighty" bully finally humbled.
