      Oh absolutely, his Wikipedia page is a trip if you’ve never read it. For instance we have this lovely excerpt near the top of the page:

      At an early age, his father showed him how to make a Molotov cocktail. Later, he accidentally set part of his house on fire with a homemade flamethrower. When he was 19, he was nearly arrested for setting off a homemade pipe bomb near his parents’ home in Seaside, California.

        … Is it bad that all of that sounds so absolutely normal to me?

        Small southern coal mining town. Homemade flamethrowers and explosives were right up there with throwing empty beer bottles down at the railroad tracks for killing time.

        I don’t know how none of us died. I think the worst was the rampant teen pregnancy, and one dude losing eyesight in one eye after getting shot in the face with a paintball gun. And one kid getting his hand caught in a stone crusher in the Masonry class.

          I mean you said it yourself, if you’re surprised that nobody died, it’s certified red shirt status 😉
