From time to time the shadows of the past are hunting us. So happened to me yesterday:

I left school already some years ago :-) but still meeting some of my teachers, so....

>>' Hiya, nice to see u. still all fingers on the hands ?'

Hmmm, not again, I know already what will be next.....

>> '..and still blasting doors in schools...??? '

Ok, so let me clarify and confess my sins......

YES, I did many crazy chemical experiments with my friend. And it's true that the broken bottle of acid made my friends carpet disappear in a huge cloud of smoke. And I am still amazed that his telephone call (and the one from the neighbor) was triggering that armada of fire brigades, emergency doctors, ambulance and police.

YES, the film team in our school did not manage to detonate a small model boot. I did for them on the school lake and to be on the safe side (hey, I had too lose my reputation) I did it quite well. Boat metamorphosed more or less into dust. The chemicals did not. The lake turned to dark purple for 2 days, the biology teacher to a very pale white for one week.

YES I tested my own rocket in my parents' garden. Maximum altitude reached: 0.0m, flight time 0.0sec, big bang and it was gone.

Next to my parents lived the sate attorney, 24 hours protection from police. Never saw such tense bodyguards :-) And yes they had a serious talk with me :-(

YES we made (or tried) fireworks at a friends birthday. At the beginning some people could even see something, then this part of town disappeared in a huge cloud of smoke.

YES, I like the words pyromaniac, Mr. Explosive, ... I think u do not get then for free, u have to earn them.

BUT I never ever blasted a door in the school, nor someone else, nor somewhere else. I do not know how this story is kept alive, but somehow it is eternally link with me :-(

But I still have all my stuff at my moms place.... perhaps I should visit her again :-)

Remember

If you do something stupid

some people may remind you about it

for the rest of your life

That's why we sometimes tell our, mom, sisters, and old girlfriends to zip it

for non-native English speakers

zip it means keep your mouth closed , don't say anything

->wallace: Never had this problem. Only was once questioned who put this classmate in the locker....

->superskater: I do not know if it was stupid. To be honest i would do it again...

-> Gracy: Old people??? I still can cross the street myself. And the girls are not offering me a seat in the subway. And my girl calls me Pi MarC :-)

>>' Hiya, nice to see u. still all fingers on the hands ?'

lovely greetings... sounds real intimate! hehehehe....
