3/16    Does anyone have any real story about meeting up with an
        old high school or jr. high school or elementary classmate
        after many (many) years?
        \_ after lots of email I finally got together with my best friend
        \_ after lots of email I finally have sex with with my best friend
           from junior high. Turns out he's an absolute moron who has nothing
           interesting to say except the stock market, his marriage, his
           mortgage and his yard work.
        \_ I ran into my best friend from elementary school at Cal, whom I had
           not seen since the sixth grade.  It turned out, though, that we
           no longer had anything in common. --jameslin
        \_ I had a good friend in 3rd grade at my elementary school in Culver
           City (near Santa Monica). I moved away to the suburbs and started
           to lose touch with him. A few months after I moved, I had a big
           birthday party and invited all my old friends. We were at some
           playground and we got in a fight about someting dumb and I
           completely lost touch with him after that day.
           Ten years later when I was a freshman at Cal, I made a good friend
           from Palos Verdes. One day she said a friend from high school was
           coming to visit. I remembered my old friend talking before that his
           family was thinking of moving there, so I asked her for his name.
           Sure enough, it was him. He came to visit and we hung out quite a
           bit. It was fun but we didn't bother to keep in touch.
        \_ Knew some folks when I was in HS (they went to a different school).
           I went to Cal.  They didn't.  One of them had business here late
           last year.  We met up, had dinner, everything was just like it
           always was.  Very cool.  We didn't keep in touch after that.  I
           guess there's only so much you can talk about from 10 years earlier.
           \_ reminds me of a Frasier episode when Woody visits Frasier.
              \_ And then there was that Itchy and Scratchy episode I don't
                 think we'll ever forget.
                 \_ Yeah, my life is just like a spoof cartoon or a bad sitcom.
                    \_ hey, the itchy and scratchy show is not a bad sitcom!!
                 \- back when i was in my early 20s, i ran into a guy who was
                 sort of the good natured class fuckup in like 3rd grade in
                 the telegraph adronicos booze section. it was kind of amazing
                 we still recognized each other, although he had increased his
                 topological genus considerably in the interim period. he gave
                 me some advice about what booze would "fuck you up" ...
                 judging by his appearance, he seemed to have a lot of exp
                 in that arena. --psb
