A St. John’s Story!

I vaguely remember when They showed this in the coffee shop my Freshman year. It was either before the Sophistry Contest at Reality, or it was before S&C. I think I “fell asleep” then, but I find myself laughing my Aristophanes off. I like that he is “preparing up to the last minute” by smoking a “cigarette” in his dorm room and drinking Kool Aid out of a mug.
Well, Johnnies have always loved their drugs…or so I hear.
