Mix Tapes...

[capncnut]

I used to do mix tapes for people all the time, hence why I aint got any tracklistings to show you.

S**t... I haven't done a mixtape in years. I didn't even know anyone still did mixtapes. I thought MP3 playlists had destroyed this noble art.

"B.A. baracus,is so crackers,he jumped a fence and hurt his knackers" I officially love that, brilliant! *more memories come flocking back* I remember the text books we had in German class were always filled with Swastikas, the the R.E. books were always filled with pentagrams and upside down crucifixes...like you said, to 'annoy the establishment', ha! The classic of course, was Biology text books - FILLED with: 1) Cocks and balls drawn on anything possible. 2) "SLAP" written on the heads of bald people. 3) Those "turn to page [number]" games and it'd end up with calling you a gay bummer or something. Ohhhh ... classic. And yep - everybody was "gay" in high school, haha!

And yep - everybody was "gay" in high school, haha! hey MZ, did you watch "Spastics say no"? hur hur hur, also, "if youre hand is bigger than your face, you get cancer...try it" WHACK hur hur hur here's a comic this dude called TC Raymond did (myspace.com/tcraymond), pretty much sums up english schoollife for me

Not that my high school education was like that comic, there's many chunks I most definately recognise. I remember in 1999 when the BBFC had a switch around and they relaxed and a bunch of horror films and violent flicks (Clockwork Orange, TCM, Exorcist) came out and we'd trade fudgy dubbed VHS copies with each other and then dub those for that 3rd generation goodness (that just made such films even more powerful - TCM on remastered DVD ... it's just not the same is it?) Treading into the Sixth Former's territory was also a kind of two fingers up to them, although I respected my elders so I didn't bother (what is there to gain?) But I remember all the little sh*t bastards coming into our territory when I was in Sixth Form. *woah, Sixth Form Lower Sixth flashback* We all had our particular areas to sit in - and everybody knew who's area was who's. We had a blackboard at our bit and we used to put all the wrappers from crisps and choccie bars around this massive blackboard - ALL the way around, tucked in behind it. There must have been £100 worth of food wrappers all around there. And we were obsessed with making rank concoctions in tea cups and hiding them to see how mouldy they go (we had some stonkers - hid them above the ceiling tiles too). Ahhhhh ... trip back in time alright.

Ahhhhh ... trip back in time alright. DUDE, we did the exact same thing, we busted open this locker in year 10 cos it stunk of crap and there were flies coming out of the grille, turns out there was this bowl of mouldy pasta in there, so we nicked it, and stashed it above the ceiling tiles in one of the english rooms, every now and then we'd take it down and feed it crisps and coke, etc. it grew to the point where it was spilling over the edges, we named it quatermass then one day word came down that the deputy head had got wind of quatermass and was coming to investigate, so i grabbed it and flung it further into the ceiling cavity, where it presumably lives and breeds to this day...

LOL. I wish my school pranks were that creative. At best it was pinning a nudey pic to the blackboard or pulling someone's chair away as they sat down (usually the class boffin). Still, the lowest of the barrel gags are always the funniest.

Liam - classic, we used to feed our cups-o-mold as well. I remember when we were set work by a teacher who was not going to be there for a lesson (but was being replaced by a temp), we'd roll the blackboard (if it was a rolling one) around so the work wasn't displayed. Then we'd say we weren't set anything and then it was the easiest f*cking lesson ever. Then if the then-absent teacher asked us why we hadn't done the work when they got back, we say we didn't know there was anything as it wasn't on the board - "perhaps someone spun it round". *Yawn04 on Channel 4* ... *grumbles that GAR's credit is far shorter than the Yawn04 script writer, and is "blown away" far quicker than anyone elses*

We had "death corridor" at our school,it was a narrow corridor in the middle school building (there was lower,middle & upper schools at my secondary school all on the same site) and it was where all the bigger kids would march down between lessons & swing their bags off their shoulders into the smaller kids,sometimes flooring them when we were year 7's death corridor was to be feared,but once we got into year 10 ourselves,we owned it & the first years feared us! I remember the pant soiling fear i used to get when i walked into the school toilets on my own,and there would be all the "hard kids" smoking in there,i just knew i was in for some treatment... Other times we would soak loads of bog roll & splat it all over the walls & skylights in the toilets Aaah yes MZ,i remember the rolling blackboards,if we were in the classroom before the teacher we would always do a badly drawn cock on there,or write "....... is gay" on there & roll it round so it was revealed later in the lesson

Tricky - likin' the roller-board abuse. Ahhh yes, while we didn't have a "death corridor", we had the "corridor gauntlet", it was like "corridor moshing" almost. Sometimes it was a real rammy, just insane, seriously chocka-block. And hell yeah, once you get old enough to hold your head higher than others and carry the massive bag (I had a succession of black "Head" bags - the long ones, which weren't back packs), man did I plough through the masses with that beast packed full of GCSE folders and text books. The teachers attempted to ban carrying those bags at shoulder level, but how can you enforce that sh*t?! That's as unworkable as the average piece of Labour legislation! Ah geez, the toilets were a fearful place to tread. They were insanely rank for starters, but the thugs would hang out there (and the dreaded mong-thug) so it's even worse. Fortunately at that stage I could go through an entire day at school without taking a piss, and that was even when guzzling off a big drink at lunch (fizzy orange - classic, loved it for doing "zombie froth" and faking death scenes, ha!) Ahhh ... where me and my mates hung out there were flower beds, our bags would be lined up around the perimeter of the flowerbed and we'd all huddle around the same copy of Max Power Magazine and gawp at the boobs and pretend we knew what we were talking about when it came to cars.
