Once again, our lives are crossed. My school's rivalry was one of the longest in the country, at 104 years of Turkey Bowl games. I was Co-MVP of the last game.
- My body cracks with more volume and frequency than any working body in the history of time. It is LUNACY.
- I eat the same lunch every day.
- I've been called the meanest human being on the planet four times in the last week by four different people on four different occasions.

112 years for ours, and counting.
You were Co-MVP? Congrats. At what positions?
Also, congrats on the meanest human honors. That's quite an accomplishment at such a young age.

Okay, strange fact #4 from me: My high school's rivalry is allegedly the oldest high school rivalry in America. If I do the math right, its 112 years old, and the school itself (149 years old) is the oldest public high school west of the Alleghenies. (who figures these things out??) |
I didn't see this before. I first figured ours was 112, but it is actually 111, and will be 112 next year.
There were a couple years we didn't play early on, and more than a few times that we met more than once, in playoffs or whatever.
Actually, my senior year, we set the state record for attendance in one of those playoff games...14,000+ people. Considering that our town was about 20K, and theirs was about 13K....that's a sh!tload of people...

Center and Nose. The Mike from Lawrence was an All-Conference kid who finished with zero tackles and a badly wounded ego.
I take pride in my cruelty. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find some puppies to kick.
112 years.... Malden v. Medford?

Well, I'm guessing on the 112, I think it was started 1893. But they always told us it was the oldest. I found the same tidbit on the rival's alumni website as well 
but I was going to ask you if you went to my school...

Hmm....
I started Foot Print Tracking at 7 years old.
I am part Scottish, part Lenni Lenapi Indian.
I am a graduate of three survival schools.
My secondary MOS in the Army was Indian Scout (scout/tracker) in the First Cavalry. I also attended Ranger School, but was not Special Forces.
I have mad small engine, welding and construction skills.
As a child, I used to stick objects in the electrical outlets and blow fuses at the rate of one or two a week.
I built a tesla coil at 10 and did weird experenments in my parents basement.
I am obsessed with shipwreck and sub stories.
I am also obsessesed with westerns...I <heart> Deadwood.
I had the largest Erector Set made when I was 9
I used to beat the crap outa my younger brother, now he owns a multi million dollar company...and I don't work for him..duh..

Man it would be fun to meet him. Now if we could find some coil wire and an interuptor switch... 
I started out with Model T spark coils, then graduated to oil burner igniter transformers. I zapped my self a ton of times..
Ask him about the tunguska blast and it's relation to Tesla's special weapon test.
