I'm still angry about the time I lost a spelling bee in fourth grade because the lady couldn't enunciate clearly to save her life
So yeah, that's a story. Hey Twitter, story time. Once, long ago, my high school participated in this weirdness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEAMS_(academic_competition) …

I was fuckin' good at that shit. Wound up second in state in computers and English. I also had dyed-red hair down to my ass.
-
Before the state competition, the smarmy little fucking scumbag of a school principal took me aside.
-
He told me that I would only be allowed to compete at state if I cut my hair. Which honestly just amazed me; people actually DO that shit?
-
He said it was because I was "representing the school". Fuck you, motherfucker, I was representing me.

So if you've ever wondered how to make sure a punk kid's youthful anti-authoritarian feelings will harden for a lifetime, there ya go.

@chaosprime Oh my. Yeah. Like the time Simon Fucking Ritchie tried to make me shave my legs for civil air patrol. -
