Blogger Sippican Cottage remarks that his son had received The Dangerous Book For Boys as a gift and after investigating its oh, so dangerous activities such as how to play soccer, make a paper airplane, marble paper(???) this blogger thinks that the book’s author’s concept of “dangerous” is, well — relative. He therefore presents his own list of ten activities called The Borderline Sociopathic Book For Boys. I particularly like numbers 2 and 9.

2. Tell your 5th grade teacher, when she starts in with the Vegan lecture again during a spelling lesson, that you’re going to kill and eat your supper as soon as you can get your hands on some weapons. Then inform her that if she gives you anything less than a ‘B” on any report card because you told her that, your father will have a phalanx of lawyers turn her life into a deposition purgatory. Then don’t pass in any homework for the remainder of the term. Let’s see who has the stones.

9. You will fight with your fists with the biggest jerk in your school. If you’re the biggest jerk in your school, you will fight with at least two classmates at a time, or any adult that rides a recumbent bicycle. You will all be in trouble, bigtime, with every adult involved. You will sit on the bench outside some boneless wonder’s school administration office, rubbing your shiners, and share the respect reserved only for the men in the arena. It’s the only real way to make friends with people you don’t like.

Like always, read the whole thing!
