I’m wondering tonight if anyone else in the world remembers the guy who ran for mayor of my town on the premise that he would turn the downtown into a Monopoly board. . . . .and almost won the election.

Come on, guess! It’s the same guy who organized the Banana Olympics on campus.

This is the guy who dressed in aluminum foil, stuck deely-boppers on his head, and hung out at the Post Office holding a big sign that said “All aliens must register.”

He was one of the most brilliant political science students the university had ever known. I couldn’t care less about that. Well, I CARE; that’s just not how I think of him.

But I sure remember the Monopoly board, and the bananas, and the aluminum foil.

I’m shallow that way.

Leon, are you still out there designing upside-down office buildings? Organizing nude mud-slides in midwinter?

Those were the days. These college kids nowadays don’t know how to have fun.
