That’s no fair delphica, picking on the kids in detention. We got enough here to do sneaking around the crawl-space, hooking up with the other detention kids and writing this stupid essay that the mean detention dean says we gotta write about “just who do we think we are.”

We’re gonna get the geek to write the essay. He’s gonna tell the mean detention dean who we really think we are: The League Of Justice!

I can’t. My mom is picking me up to take us to Chuck E. Cheese for my brother’s birthday.

Oh man. Flashback.

Fourth grade was . . . :is going to age the entire thread:: '90 to '91. At that point I was still in relative poverty, and my lunch consisted of an orange (the cheap kind with the thin peel), a butter sandwich (or, if I was lucky, a butter sandwich with cheese) and a generic cookie (the kind I could now eat in a bite) or two.

There’s a reason I refer to grade school as Hell, Part 1.

If you really want to trade THAT, I fear for what you’ll have:)

I fear this post will be my last in this thread, folks. This is all bringing back waaaay too many memories. See my previous post for why that isn’t a good thing.
