In Grade 11, The Poor Nam’s Almanac managed to publish three whole issues before the authorities started clamping down. The teacher behind our school’s official newspaper didn’t think we should be using school resources to mock the Red Knight Rider, and the vice-principal, Mr. Putnam, probably didn’t appreciate our homage to him in the masthead. And yet, to our credit, we simply rebranded issue four as the no-nam generic newsletter. We were ever so cheeky back then: making fun of computer geeks, making fun of the stage crew. We even made fun of the swim team.
But football? No way.

ReplyDeleteI wasn't that brave back then, but age has certainly given me a different outlook!
