We were the 'kings'....two person gang....I planned the pranks and was facilitator johnny was the enforcer. He could spit at you from 10 feet and hit you. He was fast too....He could hit you with a wad as he did his kind of spittle pirouette and be gone before you could catch him.Our specialty was hot wiring Jane Arnold's Pontiac and taking it for a lunch outing. If we were feeling more light hearted we would heist someome's moped for a joy ride.
Johnny was a crazy sum bitch....but I'll have to say he kept me laughing. We used to drive Coach Marcevic crazy during phys ed....he would see us at the beginning of class and the end of class....never caught us skipping though...I could go on....but the more I reminisce the more my brain hurts. RIP johnny
