Young boys in the suburbs... young boys in the suburbs have only violent and impure thoughts... but in a boys mind, violence and impurity manifest through an entirely different process, with an entirely different outcome than any other segment of the population.

Sometime in fourth or fifth grade, we became enthralled with the Kennedy assassination. (It lasted about a month)

I fully intended, at the age of ten or eleven, to create and market a game in which the main goal was to assassinate JFK. It was more involved than all of that (what with all of these potential characters and alternate endings), but you know... weird.

I remember being at mikes house... yeah, mike must have been behind the whole thing.

We also tortured our fare share of insects and spiders, threw sticks at squirrels, hid stolen pornography and tobacco in stashes all around town, and constantly fought with fists while swearing at each other… unless a mother was present.
