Nope, not by a long shot. In fact that pic of you denies any possible association with Sweathogs. You could read, never mind being on the school paper and graduating. Now, I was a sweathog, a drop-out who was into drugs and a vicious disrespect for the rules. Setting fires and throwing things out the windows. Fighting, Cursing at the teachers. All of the fun stuff that was implied but couldn’t be shown on the TV.
I used to love Welcome Back Kotter, It reflected a world I did know well. Of couse we used to try the worst things we could find, Ranking contests, “Up you nose with a garden Hose”, “Sit on it and rotate” . The more obscene the better. Yet Wikipedia notes that it has roots in East Africa Who knew?
