Thread "Lookit this!!! woo-hoo ^_^ I got's a mention!" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

I got mentioned in a local paper once.
I went on this big business class trip to compete in speech making (other students went to compete in other things). Apparently for this area that was news worthy. So anyways, I didn't win. But I did run out of cash for breakfast and had to eat a load of candy to stop my growling grumbly tumbly. So I went into a sugar rush. That lasted for hours. I discovered many things about myself.
For example, when I have energy, I get flirty. I hit on every girl on that trip. There's a funny jelly bean story in there. I also got hair tips from a Goth kid.
Anyways, about the mention. So they took my picture for the paper, but they had to doctor it up. Yeah, see I was still continuing "breakfast" and apparently sucking on a sucker looks an awful lot like smoking a cigarette, and the local paper didn't want to post what looked an awful lot like a minor smoking.
Good times.

Uh, that was pretty much my last mention in anything I can think of.
