Causing Trouble: High School Pranks, College Craziness, and Moving to California

by Mark Dice

Every boy growing up causes trouble, but not like Mark Dice and his friends. They didn't steal cars, commit armed robberies, or burn down someone's house. Their trouble was different. It was more creative. It still landed them in handcuffs, on the evening news, and for Mark, ultimately getting kicked out of high school making him the talk of his small Wisconsin town. This is a memoir of his wild childhood, his crazy college life, and his adventures in California after he and his friends packed up and headed west in search of their dreams when they were 20-years-old.

Some of Mark's Trouble

Painting obscenities consisting of 30-foot tall letters in the snow on the school football field using food coloring mixed with water in a giant weed sprayer, sending hundreds of magazine subscriptions to a teacher and checking the "bill me later" box, replacing the magazines in the school library with pornos, sending a fake college rejection letter to a former friend informing them that the school had changed its mind about enrolling him, police chases, making fake IDs, prank phone calls, joy riding, shoe tossing, running for class president, making crop circles, scamming months' worth of free food, stealing cable TV, printing fake vehicle registration tags, going to jail, and that's just the beginning!

After many legal troubles and personal tragedy, Mark was luckily able to manage his unbridled creativity and focus it constructively. His writings on politics, spirituality, and pop culture have enlightened countless people causing them to look closely at their own life and the road that they're on and where it will ultimately lead them

[Grace · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book by Mark Dice and can kind of see how the things he did as a kid, teen, and you adult have shaped him into the person he is today. Not afraid to speak his mind, his calmness when doing his man on the street videos, and interest in the topics he talks about. It kind of makes me realize how different it was for people than now. (being able to move out at a young age like that to California with no plans for where to live and no idea of what job to support yourself with.) Overall, an interesting sort of memoir of his that I liked. Doing those crazy things in school, he certainly has more gall than any other pranksters in school nowadays I think!

AWESOME BOOK.

Interesting conglomeration of miscreant behavior

Mark Dice offers us a frank dissection of his life and upbringing. In amusing true tale after amusing true tail, Mark explores his Ferris Bueller on crack inspired public school exploits. He continues to spin his web of misbehavior through to college graduation. His book is an entertaining conglomeration of life tidbits. The variation and shear number of exploits contained in this volume, make this story tower above the fictional exploits of Cast of the movie, "The Hangover."
