Scrambled or Fried?
I just moved to Hamilton today. From Peterborough, which in my 9 years living there I determined has the highest stupidity to drunk people ratio in the world.
I decided to go for a walk tonight, and get to see what's in my area. I walked Main street from about Dundurn to Hess, then up to King and back. All busy streets. Hess was much livelier than I thought it would be on a Thursday night. Then, as I'm walking along King, back to the traffic, a moron from car full of douchebags throws an egg at me. He missed by a good 6 feet or more, and they all yelled incoherently as they passed. It made me literally laugh, until I stopped to think about it. I thought "I have the approximate maturity level of a 5 year old, and I lost interest in throwing eggs at people/things at the age of about 13". And even before that, it was more of a peer pressure halloween thing. In my area, it was just expected you do it. But to be doing it at the age of 17+ (old enough to drive alone)? Is this the kind of stupidity I can expect to deal with late at night for the next 4 years of my life?
I don't mean to sound....however that sounds. I can't think of the word. But damn people, who still throws eggs? C'mon now.

Lol talking of throwing eggs: My Highschool Back home has an epic 200 man Egg fight involving 1000+ eggs as a tradition between the graduating class and the juniors. Towards the end of the year the seniors mostly plan assasinations of random first years(Well cornering them heading home and pelting their car into a bloody mess); Eventually there was a day and time decided to have a massive duel.
Its normally done all over the roads near our school(Big open roads in a suburban residential area) and people from both sides normally bunch together in a caravan of 14-15 Cars and one or two Flat Bed Trucks and run havok all over the area in between traffic and intersections(I went to school with upper class/politically connected kids in a corrupt country, Police wouldn't even come near us); It also ended with a 30 man fistfight outside a house, well it was less of a fist fight more like 30 seniors beating up a few cocky juniors they didn't like or anyone who tried to run them over with their car. I was 18 last year when I did that, it does sound absolutely stupid in future, but at that time it was one of the craziest few hours of my life
But yeah hitting innocent bystanders is absolutely a Darwin Fail, I've seen quite a few in Ancaster as well; 17 year old white kids in their dad's SUV drunk & yelling obscenities at pedestarians at intersections by getting their head out of the window. I have no bloody idea what ego boost they get out of that little act, utter prats; "Hey look at me I just called a random guy on the road a ******". It's simply the kind of thing I wouldn't do even if I was paid alot of money. I mean people might call me racist but it has always and always been white kids who partake in such douchebaggery for some reason :S (I have sociological explanations but I'll keep them to myselves )

I went toSouthShore lol *sigh* My Batch was absoultely mental for some reason, they used to bully First years every single day(wedgies, Gang attacks, intimidation, psychological abuse you name it) and since the school back then was only like 600 sq yards they had no way to escape. Heck we even waterboarded a first year or two who almost fainted with shock.....fun times
Lyceum and KGS are too burger to do something as ridiculous as us lot, all they do is silly childish waterballoon fights
St Pat's were mostly uber-nerds though soo they never did all of this, there are a few hardcore people at that school but they were a small small minority and most of them were kicked out after Olevels, StPats is far too strict to allow such behaviour on open roads!
Well most of our eggs were spoilt, like bought expired I think. But the people in the school were far too rich to care anyways, its Pakistan lol :(

In Oakville kids throw shit at you all the time because there's nothing better to do. My friend's mom got hit in the head by a can of Red Bull and had to go to the ER.

This is unfortunately what a lot of people do in university. Immaturity runs rampant here.

I don't think eggs that you can buy at the store are fertilized.

They're not fertilized. They're unfertilized.

There must not be a very large number of people who do this because I've never seen it happen and this is the first story I've heard of it happening.
