    I was considered "exemplary" but I defintely liked my drinking with my other fellow examples.

    Porn was never a terrible thing to me. I looked.

    Throwing in a few extra hours and placements worked pretty well for me too.

    I took a JW girl to the movie THX-1138. (wrong thing #1 - no chaperone)

    The girlfriend of THX-1138 got topless at one point about halfway into the movie. (wrong thing #2 - not a PG movie)

    The JW girl walked out. I left her to stand in the lobby until the movie was over. (wrong thing #3 - did not walk out with her)

    I was rewarded by a great car chase at the end with Jet-Powered Lola T-70 modified Lemans cars and a turbine robot motorcycle. (good thing)

    The JW girl would have nothing to do with me after that. (extra good thing)

    Sometimes three wrongs can make at least two good things.

    Never heard of that movie.

    Philistine!

    It was George Lucas' first feature film.

    We'll stick to the bad things I did while still a good lil JW...not later on heh heh.

    Swearing, listening to punk, metal, and alternative rock, dressing like a goth at school and changing before I got home, "dating" "wordly" boys at school (mostly holding hands and writing notes), walking around outside alone with a JW boy at the assemblies/conventions as a teenager, fake studying (random underlines, slightly wrinkling mags to look like they were read), lightly knocking out in service so no one would answer (if they were even home), etc. Other stuff I'm not proud of or want to mention. Heh.

    THX 1138 - incredible film! You would never believe the same man directed Phantom Menace and all that other crap.

    I snuck into the movie Saturday Night Fever when I was 12 years old (1977). I got caught though...

    Just sneaking into THAT movie is bad enough, MagWitch - never mind being 12 or getting caught.

    I don't think I would have admitted it - but I admire your bravery to do so here.

    My wife and I never understood the sanction against Birthdays and we always acknowledged our boy's birthdays by bringing home something special just for them, even if it was only a chocolate eclair. We'd give them a (pretend)swat for each year of their age and a pinch to grow an inch, which involved a chase throught the house to capture them so we could administer their swats. We'd always recount the story of the midnight trip to the hospital and their delivery and how each of them knew to be born on a week day rather than a weekend so that their Dad would get a few days of work LOL ! We always kept this little tradition to ourselves...didn't even tell family members for fear they'd give us the stink eye. We've kept this going even thought they are grown up. This year I send them a text message at midnight that said " What world changing event happened on this day x amount of years ago ? A correct answer will get you a gift certificate to go indoor skydiving with your Dad.

    Now that they are grown, I'd have a very empty feeling inside if I hadn't done this little thing for them. I wish I'd have done a full on party for them but at least we made a fuss over them and made sure they knew how lucky we were to have them and flad that they had made it through lifes perils one more year.
