Hortense
Dec 18, 2004

I first saw Doug Drayzen in front of GPA (Turlington hall) waving a bible and screaming at passing coeds between classes. Veins bulged from his neck and spittle flew from his mouth as he shocked and alarmed the unsuspecing collegians with his firey sermons. At first, I thought he was just another evangelikook, albeit one with a good act. I soon realized that he was doing it for kicks. I hear he went to law school in New York. Wherever he is, I hope he is still freaking out the squares, man. Whatever happened to his faithful lieutenant, Lawrence Elk?
