Why not? Bill Bain, Hale Junior High, Woodland Hills, CA, 1963 (I was 13). At least three separate incidents I can remember involving this hobbit-neandrathal-looking oaf. He used to go around grabbing kids in the crotch and squeezing real hard until they screamed (it happened to me). He punched me in the nose during a basketball game where I accidently tipped the ball into his gargantuan hook nose. And, just overall harrassment from he and his football team cronies over this time period. Gee, I can only hope he is infested with something now…or is someone’s “bitch” in prison!

i’m embarrassed to admit that, like dave2, i was a much beloved child as well. i have no nemesai, nor was i anyone’s nemesis. (i’m assuming those difficult years sharing a bedroom with my sister don’t count). you make me sorry for the dull, dull life i’ve led.

Living well is the best revenge- which is a dish best served cold

that may be why I love Vichysoisse so much.

Paul, looks like I may be the first to take your offer:

Stuart “Stu” Dromboski: Better part of 4 years he mercilessly accused me of being a homosexual because I wore Izod shirts and tended not wear socks with my docksiders (it was the friggin 80’s man) all the while he held tight the secret that he was a part of a roller skating dancing troupe and spent his weekends festooned in sequined body suits gyrating in a syncronized manner under strobe lights and disco balls to the sounds of Culture Club and Duran Duran.

NOTE: the name was changed because even now I cannot bring myself to be so vile but if you are reading this, my roller dancing nemesis, you know who you are and you have been “outed.”

And all this time I thought the plural of nemesis was “nemesises!” Boy don’t I feel silly. You have undoubtedly saved me from some kind of future embarrassment, so thank you once again for changing my life for the better, Pauly!

I was much beloved as a child, and never had any nemesai until I started my blog. Now I seem to acquire new ones daily.

Hey… home come nemesai goes all red in my spellchecker?

Thanks for the opportunity, Paul, but I am going to decline. Living well is really it’s own best revenge. YOU of all people should know that, living the vita loca where the magic happens.
