School Year 1990-1991

Homecoming Parade: Celebrate Twenty Years of Monty Python (Oops, Year Late)

(page 2 of 2)


Although he had graduated the year before and, by now, was enrolled in graduate school at Cornell University, Trotsky marched in the parade and distributed a propaganda slip:

Official Penn State Monty Python Society / Leon Trotsky Communist Plot Propaganda Slip
Version 1.0, 10/5/90


WARNING! This is a propaganda slip! As a matter of fact, it is an official propaganda slip, endorsed by Leon Trotsky himself. Hide it from all CIA, FBI, NSA, MI-6 and other agents. If you don't know, Leon Trotsky is the founder of the Soviet Red Army, former Minister of Defense and Ideology Spokesman, and current member of the Penn State Monty Python Society. As you probably can assume, Leon Trotsky isn't really Leon Trotsky -- he just sometimes thinks he is. Keep in mind that he had a very tough childhood, not many close friends as a teenager, a difficult love affair, and is now in a Ph.D. program in Chemistry at Cornell (once in awhile he visits us here at his alma mater, Penn State). As you can see, this is enough to push anyone a little too far over the edge. So please try to feel sorry for him, and humor his talk about overthrowing Stalin, forming a "Communists International" organization, and other such Marxist/Leninist ideas. By the way, Stalin (a former Soviet who kicked Trotsky out of power and had 6 million Soviets killed for being "unpatriotic") has been dead since 1955 or so.

Since I've talked so much about Leon Trotsky, it's time I mentioned a few words about the PENN STATE MONTY PYTHON SOCIETY itself. The Monty Python Society is composed of about 35 or so students here, some of whom were marching in the parade with Leon Trotsky. You don't need to know much about the former TV show and movies done by the British group "Monty Python's Flying Circus" to become a member! Anyone at all who has an appreciation for offbeat humor in the Pythonesque vein is welcome! Just show up at one of our biweekly meetings, where some of our members do skits, ad-libs, or just silliness in general. The meetings are held in 267 WILLARD at 7:30 p.m. on WEDNESDAY NIGHTS. The next meeting is THIS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10. If you are interested at all, please show up!

Oops! I almost forgot! This was supposed to be a propaganda slip! Leon Trotsky gave me a monograph on Dialectical Materialism, and how it applies to overthrowing the current "Conservative" Soviet government. Well, about Communism...

Oops! I've run out of room! Oh, well...
