What did you do durin' lunch at school?

Elementary School: ate the poor kid's, government funded lunch because my parents could barely make ends meet and fight for being the poor kid.

Junior High: Spent more time in the office for throwing food/furniture at people in the cafeteria and fight.

High School: Go out to the parking lot and mix some whiskey in my Coke and come back. That is, if I wasn't suspended for something I may or may not have done. :rolleyes:
 
I don't post a lot, but what the heck.

Elementary school: Ate those same government funded lunches as dougo.
Middle school: Tried to sit at the "Cool Kids" table, usually ate with the not as cool kids.
High school: Either ate in the choir room with my friends the choir nerds, or sat in the bathroom during wrestling season because I didn't want to even smell food. I played a lot of Super Mario Brothers 3 on a Gameboy Advance in that bathroom. :D

Edit: Forgot to add that all that ended just 2 years ago.

Spent a good amount of time hanging out with some buddies of mine off campus during lunch. They'd usually be smoking cigarettes or weed while I spent my time reading books, talking, or studying. Then, towards my junior year, I spent much more time just roaming around hanging with different groups. Besides that, it was mostly spent studying in the library and walking around campus just looking at the scenery. It's kind of amazing how pretty Santa Cruz can be.
 
Funny , interesting and very similiar responses .

Grade - Nerded around with nerd friends doing nerd things , ate lunch.

Junior - Decided I wasnt a nerd anymore and became a 'stoner' , ate lunch and smoked.

High - Decided I wasnt a stoner anymore and became a punk , ate lunch then smoked , not necessarily in that order.

Tostig
 
I'm actually one of those few people who didn't get stoned during lunch. More of a loner, I either read comix, did HW, or draw. I hate eating that shit they serve though.
 
6th grade--marbles. Don't play with me. You would lose all your marbles.:D (Had these very long games of tag around the dirt yard. I could hit at long range!)

Silenthunter--yes, snakes too. First day of 6th grade: how to tell the difference between a bull and a rattler; now it's just the bull.:D:D
 
In high school i played cards (kaiser mostly), cruised around, smoked cigarettes and drank beer. Also spent a lot of time leaving town to shoot or snare gophers. If it was a lucky day there would be a fight to watch. Also spent quite a few noon hours on detention or hanging around the smokin hot librarian. FYI; don't ever use cologne to get the smell of booze off of your breath.

Marbles...Damn, I had forgotten all about my grade-school marble playing days. I won thousands of marbles back in the day...I'm pretty sure I'd have won all of yours, too.:D.:D.

The good old days. I started to feel guilty taking everyone's marbles. But they were great fun. Do you remember all those different sizes, colors, types: clearies, steelies, tiger eye, large, small, neat patterns...counting them, sorting them....It's probably the only other thing I collected besides knives. Marbles, a gateway hobby.;)

How did you guys play?

An aside: With great reluctance I gave my marble collection to an aspiring painter. Recycled to art. He has made a go of it, with some credit to his marble paintings. Recycled marbles, who'd a thought?
 
I ate as fast as I could, then would get some homework done. I didnt want homework after school.
 
Grade - Ate, talked with friends. I was at a magnet school, so talk usually revolved around Pokemon, Runescape or other such pixelated pleasures.

Middle - Ate, hurriedly finished homework for teachers grooming kids for the top high school in the country, attempted to hang out with friends, attempted to spend time with "girlfriend" without getting yanked into an office by an administrator for violating the school's "No Touch" policy. This isn't me, but the guy was in my grade:

High - Ate, hung out with people, and generally had a good time. Imagine that!
 
In high school we had assigned seats for lunch. They took attendance. There was a teacher at each table who served the food, about 8 to a table. If you skipped lunch: detention the next day-- 7am sharp.

No touching....no worry about that...barely any conversation...that's it, we ate.
 
man, I was always in the library. that, or playing the occasional game of basketball, driving down to the local shops for grub, waging atheistic war against the 'god squad'. We all saw it as honing our ability to nitpick each other's arguments. It was a private, christian school, so I wasn't all that keen on the prayer, although I was interested in Studies of Religion, to get a better view of the bigger picture.

Didn't party too much, but when I drank, I usually drank hard. I was a big fan of irish whiskey, since I was 16. Don't get to drink to much these days. Never got into bud, tried it once or twice but in the end, it wrecked some former friends, so I never saw the appeal.

I was that loner kid. (a morbid facination with knives, and anything tactical does horrors to a guy's reputation). I was the one who cracked the jokes that made others wince.

fell for a lot of girls, but didn't get into dating. in my final year I was knocked off my feet for a cougar and had a relationship of sorts with her. I remember that took up a lot of precious study time.

We were very lucky. No deaths, or horrible maiming in our year group.



Of course, this is waaay back in '08, so you whippersnappers probably don't understand... :D

Dang...I wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in that school...:eek:.
Was that some sort of Alcatraz prison training school?

Sounds kinda like infantry school... I can still hear the DS saying "you're done, you're done, you're done..." after taking more than 4 minutes to get chow down.

It's depressing how many of you smoked cigarettes as high schoolers.

Makes you wonder doesn't it. The headmaster was ex-marine, without the ex-. They posted your GPA over the drinking fountains, announced SAT scores at lunch!! (that's probably why you had to be there;)).

There was an incident where he sent a poor kid, junior high or less, into the mountains on a 3-day survival-type mission. Just some hard candies, matches and maybe a map? The kid had health problems and didn't want to go. The headmaster threatened to expell him, or not promote him, so his parents let him go. The kid got worse, I don't know what his problems were, and he had some serious injury.

Yeah, I didn't like it. Pained me every time I heard something good about him or the place--still does.
