Screw President of the Student Council: bulk up and take Drozdov’s place in the NFL! That was a brilliant story, by the way. Also, no more having to ask for a bathroom pass for you! ---

START, I hope you’re feeling better soon. Of course, if you ever think of changing your user name, you could go with Otter. > [@](#): > > **Animal House** > “I can’t believe I threw-up in front of Dean Wermer!” > > “Whatta mean? You threw-up ON Dean Wermer.” ---

> [@Padeye](#): > > FWIW film directorand all around weird guy John Waters, who is known for his realistic puke scenes, says that creamed corn and ketchup makes the best stage vomit. At the beginning of _The Great Santini_, IIRC, the guys pulling a puke-prank “spewed” New England clam chowder all over the bandstand. Bits of clam and chunks of potato can look pretty realistic too. > [@START](#): > > The editor of the Yearbook supposedly wants me to reinact the scene using a stand-in for the substitute and spitting out some chewed up food…I say supposedly because I’m not quite convinced that is true I think my friend was joking. > But I do know that the substitute has not been stopping anyone from getting up and going into the restroom since the incident and that somehow the story of my little vomit incident has made it over to the nearby Junior High. Great story, **START** , and thanks for giving us a window on the birth of a legend. 😃 ---

I haven’t laughed so hard in such a long time. **START** like it or not, you have just puked yourself into a Legend. You have no idea how much you are envied. I wish I could throw up on someone and cause a paper airplane riot. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-threw-up-on-the-substitute-and-now-im-a-hero/272837.md?page=2)
