Today, I share with y'all a masterpiece, and evidence of why God gave me no artistic abilities.
My college roommate and long time chum Kevin DOES have skillz; and in a moment of inspiration, one of the (then) ubiquitous "Art Test" application thingies that were floating around campus was prepared from our address and sent in.
I must be honest, when we sent it off, I never expected to hear anything of it again. It was intended simply as a kick against the pricks - a symbolic, if futile, gesture to give back to that particular institution some of what its presence doled out to an otherwise innocent society.
That we received the test back at all was a shock. That it was graded "GOOD" was stunning to a degree I can hardly express, even to this day. I literally have never laughed harder in my life. In fact, I could laugh to tears over it for years. I still think it is incredible.
Over time, my hope was that there was some long-suffering student grading this who decided to give back to us some of the pleasure he had been provided. That's my hope anyway. I also hope it is a source of pleasure for y'all...and before you ask, yes, it is 100% real. The original has been lost somewhere through the years, and even the few photocopies I had were dispersed to the wind. It is only by kind gift of my man Mike that I once again have a copy. A scan of a copy it may be, but it is no less powerful for not being the original artifact. Just look for yourselves:
