“Say I, then spell CUP.”  
“I see you pee.”  
“Ahhh-haha! You queerbait! You like to watch people pee!”

“You’re dead off the bus.”  
(Translation: I’m gonna kick your ass when we get off this here school bus)

I’m a big guy, and always have been, but I never learned to fight back and therefore got my ass kicked a lot in elementary school. And people wonder why I don’t pine for my childhood…

On a more positive note: this thread reminded me that I once **successfully** impressed some girls in 3rd grade by creating a substitution (or maybe a symbol) cypher for them to use in the notes they passed back and forth. And in 7th grade I impressed some “cool” girls by programming my Radio Shack pocket computer to display rude things about another girl they didn’t like. I was **such a dork** , yet it occasionally paid off. Go figure.
