In high school I had a buddy who was super into music and got a gig writing reviews for new albums.
I found and memorized an entire review, word for word (at least 1000 words), and set up my one other buddy to ask me if I'd heard of the album casually at lunch.
I only got partway through the second sentence before my buddy was like "oh my god fuck you" and got up and left. It was such an incredible waste of memorization.
I cringe because of how shitty it was to do... I really did/do love the guy. But, if this is the worst "boys will be boys" that I had out of high school I think I did ok.
