The weirdest kid I know in junior/senior high school was...

[gr8dane_daddy]

a kid named Greg W. (only using initial in case he's one of you!) who believed he was the only one person in possession of fossilized dinosaur poopie. Yep, lumpy rocks mistaken for solidified dinosaur poop!

You?

1. My brother knew a guy in high school that everyone called Mantis....

...Mantis would bring bugs in aluminum foil to school, and eat them at lunch. That one always sounded pretty weird to me.... :crazy:

:yoiks:

[trof]

27. Earl Bledsoe drank ink in the first grade.

He was 'left back'.
I believe we would call Earl 'mentally challenged' today.

[chknltl]

2. I had a round rock that I thought was dinosaur poo also...

Or a cannonball. Fortunately my last initial is not W so I am not offended...(actually I WAS the weird kid in junior/senior high school...but I blame the cheep drugs for this)

[JVS]

3. this guy who said "I can shoot flames from my skull"

years later I saw him working as a short order cook

[marzipanni]

7. He didn't have to flip the burgers

he just broiled them with his skull flames? Now that's what I call using one's innate talent.

4. I was the weird kid in high school

And now I'm the weird kid in college :D

[driver8]

5. There was a kid who played D&D everyday and always moved

his head from side to side. I swear...his head never stopped moving!

All of the D&D kids were kind of strange, but he was the strangest. (No offense intended to those of you who played D&D!)

[Kutjara]

6. My weirdest acquaintance of that time...

...was a kid who believed he was a Gandalfesque wizard, to the extent he dressed at all times in a long cloak and carried a staff with a large "jewel" on top. He also affected a sort of faux-Middle English phraseology and would often call people "sirrah" or "varlet."

He rather undid any mysterious, otherworldly aura by regularly eating catfood at lunch, whenever he could sneak some out of his house.

[AlienGirl]

9. That sounds like someone I would have liked to hang around with!

[Kutjara]

10. He was a lot of fun, really.

The only time it wasn't good to be hanging with him was when a group of jocks happened by and delivered one of their regular pummelings to him and whomever he was with.

[AlienGirl]

11. In my fantasy junior high school, I'd have Everythingsxen there to protect us all!

He is huge. And a gamer.

[Kutjara]

12. He would have been very nice to have around! n/t

[AlienGirl]

8. I own several coprolites (fossilized poop--some from dinos)

They aren't hard to get, and make great gifts for kids!

13. I was the weird kid in junior high school ...

because I came to school dressed like Janet Jackson. This was in 1991 - I was obsessed with the Rhythm Nation 1814 album . So I came to school sometimes dressed in this exact outfit in the 6th grade :



Well I could have came to school dressed like Prince with my cheeks out but I would have gotten suspended ;)

[Crazy Dave]

15. Or if you had a "wardrobe malfunction"....

...at the school football game :wow:

That's a great picture and looks just like her if that's you.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

16. LOL - that is a picture of Janet Jackson from one of her videos ...

the outfit from the picture is what I would sometimes wear to school.

[Burma Jones]

14. Tim Matthews

I can list him, 'cause he's dead now....He came to school dressed like Glam Bowie, makeup and all, he told most kids that he wanted to fuck both their Mother and Father, he played guitar pretty well, I played keyboards and we did some shows together. He was a cross between Glam and Goth before there was Goth (mid 1970s). He saw life as performance art and helped me define "weird" as something you WANT to be. About five years after graduating High School, I found out that he had been duct taped up and shot in the head over drug money......

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

17. That is so sad what happened to him.

Tim is somebody who I WISHED went to my high school.

I was so much different from everybody at my school - the only way I fit in was because I was damn good on the clarinet and no one could mess with me. But other than that, I was steps away from getting beat up because I did'nt wear designer clothes (I only had 2 pairs of jeans and I would pray that no one noticed that I would wear them all the time) - my music kept me sane and it still does. I have embraced my inner new romantic and come to love myself :)

[noonwitch]

18. I had cooties until high school

I think it was because my nose bled all the time, and it was gross.

I had a friend in high school who was undoubtedly a schizophrenic. She was very sweet, and she sort of slipped through the cracks at school. She had a nice family and all, but was way off.
We could see it coming back then. I won't give a name, but she had a fantasy life she seemed to really believe was reality. Unfortunately, all of the fictional people in her fantasy world had names that corresponded with characters on tv shows or boys whose pictures appeared in Tiger Beat (which I read in 3rd grade, not 10th). One was named "Ponch" and drove a Z-28. She would wear a Shaun Cassiday t-shirt to school in high school.

If you're reading this, Pied Piper, you probably know exactly who I'm talking about.

[Pied Piper]

25. Yes, noonwitch

I know. :cry:

Do you know whatever happened to her?

[azmouse]

19. Weirdest kid in my school was convicted of murder

about 2 yrs after graduation. Killed the other kid with a sword and then went walking around the local farmer's market like nothing happened. When the police were notified that the murdered kid was missing this weird kid 'helped' the police look for the kid in a park where he knew the body was and 'claimed' to have located the body. Of course, a lot didn't add up to the police and they ended up arresting him soon after. As far as I know, he could still be in jail.

[youthere]

20. Same here! Except he shot a gas station attendant and then went to McDonalds.

[Connonym]

21. ...wanted to form a cult worshiping Ronald Reagan

and tried to blow up the school by sneaking into the chemistry labs and turning on the gas to all the bunson burners. They evacuated us the next morning (to the gym, which was evidently not capable of exploding :sarcasm:) He was expelled after that and I have no clue what ever happened to him. He was really brilliant but very disturbed -- definite mad scientist material.

[LibDemAlways]

22. George Allen was right up there. He drove around

our Southern California neighborhood in a car festooned with Confederate flags and wore a Confederate flag pin in his senior portrait. His idea of a prank was to spraypaint racist graffiti on the school walls, and he kept a baseball bat he called his "n____r knocker" in his car. Sick SOB.

And as weird as Allen was, our class also produced a convicted spy, Daulton Lee, who gained notoriety as the "snowman" of Falcon and the Snowman fame. He was exceptionally short and had terrible acne. He was also the "go to" drug dealer on campus. He'd sometimes exchange his wares for sexual favors with the cheerleader types.

[Shell Beau]

23. The kid that tried to see how many needles he

could stick through the first layer of his skin on his hand. He had like 30 on there before the teacher caught him. He also would get everyones prunes at lunch and eat them. He was strange then in the 5th grade. I wonder what he's doing now...

[siouxsiecreamcheese]

24. weirdest kid I knew was my boyfriend

He was the type of guy to wear a trenchcoat all year long, black nail polish and teased hair because he was trying to make some sort of statement. We lived in a small town and stuff like that just wasn't done.. I guess that's why I wanted to date him over everybody else.

[Dervill Crow]

26. Spock.

Very talented, intelligent, odd girl who had different personalities that came to the fore through the use of a transporter device.

[AngryAmish]

28. A guy they called Ponch

Was disconnected from reality - he heard and saw things that were not there. One day he flipped over a table in the cafateria and was shooting at the Japanese. Except WWII was over for forty years. And there were no Japanese people in the school. And he didn't have a gun.

That was the last time he went to school.
