If the lead doesn't kill us young,
the shite we ate sure will.
If the lead didn't make us crazy,
the shite we saw & heard sure did.
Be suspicious of people who claim trauma builds character.
They're often walking wounded themselves.

If you made it home for dinner, there'd be nuclear vegetables & whale meat-noodle casserole,
& fruit cup, & if nana's there,
that weird jello mold she's made since the fifties for dessert, YUM!
Then you'd watch the TV, which made scary noises & eye cancer.

If you were brave, you'd bike down the near-30 degree slope at the back of the sled hill.
If you were unlucky, the Clown'd get you (the Clown being John Wayne Gacy, who lived 30 minutes away).
Today the back slope is fenced off & the fucking Clown is dead.

After school: the killing hour.
What's more dangerous in Lord of the Flies: bullies or your friends? BOTH.
Bullies had: lead pellet airguns, ninja stars, M80s & cherry bombs that'd blow a finger off.
Your friends? All of the above, plus stupid dares.

After lunch and violence, more education, including topics such as:
- Sex (you'll get pregnant & die of herpes)
- Reagan (good)
- the Civil War (caused by states' rights)
- Milk (the BGH kind is healthiest!)
- Religion (also good)
- Cursive (was still a thing)

He's talked to both of them, but that doesn't mean they've talked to each other. It's very weird.

Children of Gaia were more interesting in the pre-5th edition setting.
I played a lot of Werewolf LARP under the old setting, and they added a lot to the game by being foils to the Get of Fenris. Unlike now, where the Cult of Fenris has gone rogue and would just kill them.
