I've gone to Gladiator School in Rome What was your weapon? We got to try several (trident, dagger, sword...), but I had the most fun trying to catch my son in a net!

Went from one side of a large university campus to the other side through the underground storm water drains. Once you're in, there is no getting out until the finish because of the angles of the various pipes. I hyperventilate just thinking about being so trapped and tight now. And this was pre-cell-phones. We could have become lost or trapped and no one would have ever known. Ugh.

As a shy, petite, previously-sheltered, freshman, I was assigned to sit alone in a dormitory stairwell for several hours one night, that was locked and chained shut, with a baseball bat as my sole defense to keep marauding visiting Dead Heads out of our famous hippie dorm. The Dead were playing a concert on campus that weekend and our dorm was overwhelmed by groupies. A bowl of acid-laced punch sat on the piano in the main lounge, free for all takers. A naked pianist banged tunes out on the piano. A Dead Head on a bad acid trip walked out of a plate glass window in that lounge and fell 2 stories, unscathed. Oh, I was randomly assigned to that dorm and it certainly stole my innocence in many ways.
