Columbine High School massacre friend Dylan Klebold and others. The mascot of Columbine High School (CHS) is the Rebels, and he called these "Rebel Missions". Harris and Klebold adopted the nicknames "Reb" and "Vodka" respectively. Beginning in early 1997, the blog postings began to show the first signs of Harris's ever-growing anger against society. By the end of the year, the site contained instructions on how to make explosives. Harris wrote "the first true pipe bombs created entirely from scratch by the rebels (REB and VoDkA)...Now our only problem is to find the place that will be 'ground zero.'" Harris's site attracted few visitors,
