Minor Speculum

It’s HIS Time

By Nykamp

This is a Goddamn proud moment within the Minorspeculum Family. I can feel it in my plums.

Like any family, a time to pause and reflect is warranted when one of its members greatly betters their life in any way, shape, or form. In this particular instance, the Subject is Larry (Larsen, Larsenito, Gregg, The Gym Master’s Son, Lancelot, Senior DungDiggles, FlyWay to Merc, The Monsters Only Fear, et al..), and the charge? His acceptance to Columbia College Chicago. The Admission Review Committee not only thought that Larry was deserving enough to attend their prestigious school, but additionally gave him coupons to a free lunch at any one of four diners within 47 miles of the campus, on odd numbered Wednesday’s of even numbered months. This is the first time an honor of such has ever been given to an incoming student.

We’re all proud of you FlyWay to Merc. You are the most major thing left in a minor town, the prized tomato growing on a weakened vine. Go there. Kick ass. See. Conquer. Paint the city with the bowels of the miscreants who ever doubted you or said an unforgiving word. And by God, have fun with it. Take as many outlandish liberties as humanly possible.

I leave with a poem:

Larry:

Hey man

Good

Luck

(Brad, help me out with my poetry)
