It began the night he discovered that he had been asked by the school not to come back ever again, since he had passed only a total of 2 classes his freshman year (0 first semester, 2 second semester). He and some others of us got drunk and went on a "graffiti spree" on the Harvard Bridge, which was (and still is) full of traffic control barrels to close off the outer 2 lanes so that the bridge doesn't collapse. From there, it naturally spread to the suburbs of Boston, and other areas. You may think this explanation is probably too "normal" (subjective term) for net.bizarre, but believe me, if you knew this guy, you would agree that this explanation belongs here. The Spitzer What are you saying? That I'm redundant? That I repeat myself? That I keep saying the same thing over and over?
