Deep Dive
Gangs & Projects
The Daggers
Watched the movie "Thrashin'" with my best friend.
Stole the name of the gang from there.
Before we had skateboards, we just ran around the schoolyard in a pack getting into small amounts of trouble:
peeing on stuff,
breaking windows,
teasing girls,
sneaking off school property.
Never stopped.
Long Live the Daggers!

Hill Pirates
Like “Sky Pirates” but on a snowy hill.
Sometimes when you meet someone at first, you don't get along, but then a mutual dislike bonds you. With your newfound friendship, you start a two-person gang called "Hill Pirates." You slide down the icy hill at school, knocking down smaller children in a vain attempt to feel something.
It's the only natural progression.
_
Indigo Roof Bandits.
If toilet paper were placed all over the seat of a porta-potty and set on fire, the white roof surrounded by blue or green walls would surely illuminate the night sky like a flashlight; a sort of indigo color would be expected.
This is illegal, so it wasn't done, and if it were, surely children in elementary school wouldn't be held responsible.
_
"ZERO"
was not the name of this gang/project.
I don't think it was named.
A few friends and I went to an abandoned shop situated about 20 feet from the house of a shut-in. Like many other kids, we used this place to have fires in the corner. The girls did their witch shit as the movie "The Craft" was popular then. We came up with our four-letter names, a secret tradition not even known to be one; some would continue to write this on walls for the rest of their lives.
