I remember in Spanish class I was a pencil fight with a buddy. He knocks the pencil out of my hand and hits the teacher right in the face.

She freaked out and was running for the door and falls against the door. She opens the door and screams for the principal. It was bad because the door opened into a gymnasium and had classrooms all around the gym. So her voice echoed and all the classes could hear her scream. Both of us got suspended from her class and I can't remember what we had to do for punishment. She was a pretty cool teacher and took us back in after an apology.

The China made pencils was the best for crack pencil. The wood was hard and dense. Bout the best thing China ever made.

I rocked my grandparents pencils left over from the 60’s-80’s: much denser wood.

I was thinking back in the day we use to take the shorter pencils and put a needle backward into the eraser. Then break off the writing end and split it about half an inch and insert a piece of paper for a tail fin.

throw at each other and enjoy.

Yeah because kids would break their own pencil and then not have one to use, and then be like, "Can I borrow a pencil?"

And on top of that they'd leave broken discarded pencils on the floor

Actually, it was matchsticks you could do this with and have a war.....pencils with needles would be damaging.

Think a ticondra or something with a similar name was a really good pencil for this.
