- We're routine
and I don't care
I love our size and our ordinary hair
Drink milk and eat what we like best
Filling up the century living in
the Mild Midwest
The Minnewaska Mask and Wig Club
of Pope County, Minnesota
proudly presents
POPE FICTION
Episode One: "Minnewaska Mischief"
***************************************
What bugs you about high school?
***************************************- "Popularity is a
problem at every school."
"Some kids are built up by other kids being put down.
"I thought it would get better with consolidation, but it just got bigger."
The trouble begins when five strangers meet and bond over a shared resentment. Doesn't anybody supervise detention?
The friends wonder what can be done about the injustices they resent.
- "The guilty live their lives on the defensive. What if we put a
post on a newsgroup suggesting things here aren't what they seem? See who
bites?"
Soon everyone is talking, including the rope-jumping little siblings.
46 articles in thread. A large response turns out to be strangely unsatisfying.
- "Listen, don't worry. On the net, things boil away as fast as
they boil up!"
Do you believe everything you read? What if the whole wide world is reading it, and it's about YOUR kid?
