I was a quiet rebel. Topper of class, but smoking cigarettes in tiffin break, playing hooky, going off to watch a movie in noon show or matinee show, getting caught & getting the cane - but very helpful & friendly.
You see my user name. I would walk the high school halls between classes howling like one. It was also a given nickname on the many bowling teams I participated in for years. Look up at score sheet and see Gibbon last on the list. Clean up man.
@Thinkerbell No but I did raise hell with the gibbons at the DC zoo in the old days when they were in open cages and not behind glass. I felt like we were actually communicating and they were enjoying my howling with them.

In HS, I was the white collar bad kid. Everyone knew they could come to me for alcohol or weed. But, I was squeaky clean otherwise. Straight A's.
I wouldn't say I was cool per se.. I was like the guy that got along with everybody so I was constantly slapping hands with all the guys & hugging all the girls while walking down hallways.
Some people thought I seemed popular just because I knew a ton of people but I mostly minded my business & didn't hang around all of them. My closest friends didn't go to my school so I didn't spend much time with my school peeps
Sometimes. Sometimes I got throttled and was under a pile of kids at Red Lion Elementary School in Huntington Valley. They made us pass out and everyone was laughing and kicking us when we came to - my brothers were in the crowd.
@Sapio You seem like a nice settled man and that’s good. You had to come from money to make it to being a cool kid. I always thought they were the bad kids☺
