I always knew my oddball Transient Friend would do something noteworthy enough for the New York Times in the not too far future, but he’s exceeded even my expectations showing up in its pages by the tender age of 22.
I remember the good old days when he would walk around our dorm hallways without pants on his way to the Co-Ed bathroom — farther than the men’s bathroom, but nearer to his heart — to brush his teeth. He earned the ire of our male hallmates along the way, envious of his shapely “chicken legs”. And look at him now, fighting against the man who oppresses his urban apiculture! Presumably wearing pants, you know, because of the bees! He was never one to conform to society’s conventions, then or now. I’m just so proud.
Though I’m somewhat disappointed they didn’t include a photo of TF, considering how much more young and vibrant he is than the John Slattery lookalike they did include.
Hint: the orange text is a link.
