I'm curious as to what your high-school did for your birthday when you were in high-school, or more specifically, what the student body did. The reason I ask is because I hear in most schools, they genuinely wish you well on your b.day. A small percentage of schools to my understanding will give you a well-placed b.day arm slug, but all in jest.
The school I went to I guess is different, and apparently not much has changed in that school since the time I went there. You see, in the school I attended, if anyone found out it was your birthday, they [the students] would wait until lunch or better yet P.E., surround you when there where no teachers around, and proceed to kick the shit out of you. It was a favorite pastime guessing when someone’s birthday was and seeing the terrified look in their faces when another student called out, “it’s so-and-so’s birthday!” pointing at the poor sap. There was also a favorite way to beat up a birthday kid in the P.E. room affectionately called “the taco”. To perform The Taco, someone had to quickly sprint into the back of the locker room, kick open the locked door to the gym (not easy) before the b.day victim arrived, set-up the sit-up mat in an vertical position with some help, and then lie in wait all before the birthday boy arrived. Once the birthday victim got to the gym door, the other knowing, smiling students behind him would shove the victim into the sit-up mat who then become immediately wrapped in it like a taco by the students holding the mat up, and then kicked relentlessly until a teacher came in to save them. I've seen my share of broken noses due to the taco, as well as called in “sick-days” on ones birthday due to sheer terror of coming to school on your birthday! I've been told this behavior is not typical of high schools, so I'm curious as to your [Lurkers] high school experiences on your birthdays.
