Giving the tough answers.

Here are the answers to all the questions troubling Waist High and causing her to toss and turn at night:

1.Has anyone ever successfully fried an egg on the street?

The answer is yes. Personally, I prefer to use the hood of my car. Less gravel.

2.Were 'M' and I the only ones who would throw every last poolside lava rock into the swimming pool and have contests to see who could collect the most?

The answer is yes. You were obviously a very strange child. Flo and I would pretend to be runway models and prance down the diving board.

3.Why was everyone obsessed in junior high with wearing 'Southside Liquor' t-shirts?

Because Southside Liquor’s was new and it was cool to let everyone know it was your favorite place to purchase beer and cigarettes.

4.Who was the first idiot to decide that it would be a good idea to spray Raid on marijuana? First idiot to smoke it? First idiot to then try to market it as 'Raid Bud'?

I’m afraid I can not answer this question. I have no idea what you are talking about.

5.What was the true identity of 'Boy Paul'? Vidal's #1 club kid?

I know the person who can answer this question, but it will have to come at a later date. However, I thought DaVid was the #1 club kid at Vidal’s.

6.Precisely why was our high school really nicknamed 'Waste High'?

Because so many West High students liked to stand next to Patriots Park drinking schaffers and smoking.

7.Why has the old Zody's building sat empty for like 20 years?

My understanding (based entirely on unsubstantiated comments) is that Zody’s entered into a long, long-term lease with the landowner and Zody’s, or whoever acquired its assets, is still paying rent to the landowner. Essentially, the space is rented. It’s just that the tenant is choosing not to operate from that site – and no one can force them to do so. The landowner isn’t motivated to get someone else in the space, since it is getting top dollar.

8.Why were all the Mormon guys from Highland High so hot?

Because they were Mormon and God had blessed them with all his Glory because had shared their testimony and found the spirit of the Lord, Amen.

9.Does it not seem like Ed Jagels has been the DA since the dawn of man?

It does seem that way, but it's not quite true. He was, in fact, originally appointed by Colonel Baker himself, so yeah, he’s been around a while.

There you go Waist High. I hope you can sleep better tonight. Anyone else have any questions they need answered? I’d be happy to help.
