Message: Loogies on the ceiling. I don't remember boys spitting them on the ceiling over the lunch tables...actually, I don't even recall that there was a ceiling over the lunch tables, but I could be wrong about that. I do remember seeing some of my more colorful friends spitting loogies on the ceiling of the open corridors at the end of one of the buildings. The purpose, as I recall, was to get a large loogie stuck up there and then stand back and wait for gravity to pull it back down, preferably on on someone's head. Hope that helps.

The truth is that although I did not graduate from HHS, I did attend my freshman year. I think that was the year you passed out (just kidding). Only having attended my freshman year, I promise that I will only write in 25% as much as you do (see the math skills I received in Oregon schools). As everyone can see by the picture you submitted (me on the porch?) you and Robin never wanted to share the water with me and Timmy (is he picking his nose again?). And John, you can put me in any color that will make Kell happy. Being a devoted Bruin fan (right), you should probably use pink...18 straight at home ladies, this will be no duck walk...more like a quack attack. Oh...for those who might think were airing our dirty family laundry in public, I love you too cuz, always have, always will...PS..The pony story was a good one too.
