Hardest you have ever laughed...

[PalharesIsHulk**]

Im laughing just remembering this part, shit was so random it caught me off guard. I was also sitting next to my good friend who had a hot mom that we used to always talk about which made it better.

So many good parts in that movie. I was the kid running like Jonah Hill in the PE scene even though I wasnt fat. My buddy used to interrupt classes like Johna Hill did in the soccer scene and like Fogell in the science class. We also had that conversation about liking to see dick actually go in the vagina and how lesbian porn wasnt for us. Dont get me wrong lesbian porn is great but you gotta see some penetration going on. Holy shit that was awkward but funny as fook.

Mate I can relate to all of that pretty much as well, it's a really awesome movie. I had a friend who always had a free period when I had science so he used to interrupt that class, and we had several conversations relating to porn like that as well. I was also like Jonah Hill in PE but over here in Australia we can drop PE after year 10 so instead I did had just tennis for sport. Another funny thing sometimes in art class me and my friend would get bored and make penis sculptures out of clay.

Freshman year my buddy and I almost shit ourselves laughing numerous times. Almost got kicked out of summer school for it too. Why were we laughing? The story wouldn't make sense to anyone, not even myself. But we were 14 and 15 during that time. We were young teenagers. The age between leaving the end of childhood (skateboards, magazines, pipedrems) and becoming a young adult, discovering yourself in an older world. We all went through something similar in Jr.High. We developed a strong friendship during 12 and 13 and now we had to go through the motions all over again at a new school.

The pressure weighed down on us when we became freshman so we stuck together like brothers. Joined the Football team like everybody else. I fell in love from a distance with a girl in one of my classes. I was always looking at her and trying to find an excuse to talk to her. Just trying to get those scraps that a Freshman can to feel visible to those around him.

Social groups were already forming and we didn't know what to do. But we both tried our best to keep our spirits up. If anyone fucked with him, they fucked with me. And vice-versa. Even made another brother from such display of loyalty. The laughter during these years was the best I'll ever have. Because the laughter then still had a flicker of the children we use to be combined with a mind that knew its juvenile rebelliousness was on its death bed. We laughed to burn what was remaining of that child fuel as much we could before a new school completely transformed us all over again.

We're still friends even though we are very different. We took seperate paths after Sophomore year. I was one of his only friends that visited him when he got locked up even though we hadn't talked much before then. Our friendship goes in spurts because such are things when you're older. I'm going to his moms house this Friday actually for his sisters birthday. I'm hoping he's there. It's like rewinding time when we hangout, except we're drinking beer and have our own stories now. Sometimes we even break out the skateboards searching for where those laughs escaped to. Hoping we'll find just one left inside, because just one would make all the difference.

If you look back at your friendships during these times and you aren't a little bit sad when thinking about it, then you missed out. Friendships like that are few and far between.

Sorry for the buzzkill. Gonna take a shot of whiskey for it.

Great post. I have a friend like that minus the jail time. We dont see each other as much as we used but when we do its all lulz. Hes in my wedding party and am very glad he'll be standing with me on the big day.

Every time my cousin from NY would come down to visit me in DC, we would always end up playing "the brand x softdrink game."

Basically, it's a competition to see who can make up the most rip-off names of soft drinks. Kind of like the store brands that try to get cute.

He'd say "Mountain Breeze", and I'd say "Dr. Bopper" and so on.


...I guess it was funnier when I was kid...

Didnt even crack a smile.
