I Went to School with a Kid Named _______: Part Five

I went to school with a kid named Compodworm Rackenfartmer. The small contingent of Nepalese Exchange students at our school were convinced he was the reborn Sherpa Lord Spiglet Tensiontorquemother and were often witnessed leaving Offerings (rocks passed through their own GIs) at his Altar (his discarded Kangaroo Sneakers).

I went to school with a kid named Satellite Ogglebox. He was from the former Czech Republic and had a burning hatred for the co-mingling of Pretzels and Peanuts; hence the nickname that he was hung with...Chex Mix...which he misheard as CZECH MICKS which stoked the flames of his other great dislike...the Irish.

I went to school with a kid named Heated Gelpack. He collected Snowglobes but replaced the fluid inside with a lil' something he called Grumph...which turned out to be the wringed moisture from his Sleepy-Bye-Bear Bedtime ensemble (complete with wristlets, chinstrap and Aviator Scarf(!)). Said bedware was considered Poor Man's Garanimals.
