Thank goodness David Brooks is not my editor...

The Maroon printed a trippy re-imagination of the University of Chicago undergraduate's trajectory yesterday in Grey City, the Maroon editors' pet "magazine" project. Books, gargoyles and diplomas taunt the wayward columnist as he describes his meanderings through a "pseudo-prestigious university"—UChicago, of course. Oh, and the columnist himself? Yeah, it was David Brooks, circa 1982.

The bloggers of Gawker think Brooks was on a lot of acid back then. But I'm more convinced this column was the product of one too many all-nighters in the Reg—he's just lucky he printed this piece in the Maroon instead of handing it to his Hum professor.
