Here's an entry from the blog I share with Matt Dyer (writedamnitwrite), hosted on his server; this is what he wrote:

Holy crap what a story I heard

I talked to Jeff yesterday and he told me the story of the week from the high school.

There was apparently a kid handing out hundred dollar bills to people who would do stupid stuff for him. He had people running full speed into walls, yelling embarrassing things, and all sorts of stuff like that. And he was paying lots of people.

Rumors began to fly. Nobody could really ID the kid; he was a nobody loner type. Most of the rumors were based around the source of his money. His grandparents, some said, were billionaires. Others suggested his dad had made millions in the porn business. Jeff said it must undoubtedly fall somewhere in between, possibly with his dad becoming a billionaire in the porn business?

The truth came out toward the end of the week. The kid had sold his pokemon card collection on ebay for $3,500 and was spending his money by getting only the “popular” kids to do stupid stuff for him.

I can respect that.

I just wanted to put this here because, damnit, there’s a story there somewhere!

Amazing. Utter genius. This kid should be lauded, given an award on Senior Day or something.

I love Rhea County High School.
