Summary | Mean Boy |
At my school, there was a strict - yet crude - system of classification according to how you wore your school tie. A 'Slim Jim' was worn by cool kids. A 'Fat Twat' was sported by the geeky, swotty kids. I remember wearing both styles in a crude bi-polar expression of my personality.
There was always someone who decided that their life would be vastly improved by adopting a cool nickname of their choosing. The idea was that news of your new moniker would spread through the halls of the school, and by lunchtime everyone would know you by your new, cool nickname. The problem was that most people chose something lame like 'mad max' or 'LL Cool J.' Sigh.
Swings made brilliant helicopters, just as climbing frames made great spaceships. Witch's Hats also made fairly convincing UFO's, if you ignored their rather identifiable landbound nature.
