I Cussed at Dustin Diamond

In early 2001, I was a junior in high school. And one day, when I was in the hall during class for no good reason, I ran into Screech from Saved By the Bell.

I still have less than no idea what he was doing at my school, but after four or five successive double takes, I was sure it was him. He must have been used to the strange behavior I exhibited, because he stopped and introduced himself. What followed was not my most eloquent moment.

Screech: Hi, I'm Dustin Diamond.
Me: What the hell?

For what it's worth, this was about a year after Saved By the Bell: The New Class ended, and was well before he kicked the crap out of Horshack on Celebrity Boxing.
