I knew kids like Andre and Cal in high school. These kids would sit by themselves in the cafeteria playing "Spit" and idly griping about the various football players who had done them injustice. A little idiosyncratic perhaps, but basically nice suburban kids with nice suburban families and Simpsons posters on the bedroom walls of their nice suburban split-level houses.
