They are, of course, FUNSHIETS, the ‘publication’ Jeff Flinn and I created during our seventh grade year at Ankeney Junior High. I would have never recalled the exact history of the formation of the FUNSHIET, but as fate would have it, one of my editorials in issue #4, actually detailed it for me.

The contents generally included making fun of other students and faculty from school, cartoons (mostly plagiarized), rantings, and pseudo-games. They were crass, often exhibiting flagrant profanity. They were vulgur and immature. They were in fact, the perfect representation of what was going on in the adolescent mind. And somehow, I found myself chuckling at some of the contents even today.

Although I had to be very selective on what I am sharing on here, I did find a few items that I could use to represent the era of the FUNSHIET. To be diplomatic to my earlier self, I’ll simply defend these as a creative outlet that would eventually lead to more meaningful publications and writings. Do your best to enjoy.

  1. So much for this being a family friendly website…Just kidding. What seventh grader didn’t swear like a sailor?
