BRUSH YOUR TEETH
Nov. 7th, 2016 12:31 amI'm proud to say I met my first presidential candidate in person. I hopped in my car yesterday, drove two hours into the back woods of Connecticut, and at the local grange I met the one and only Vermin Supreme!
The man is absolutely hysterical in person. Obviously, we did some of the sing-alongs he heckles regular politicians with, but since he was with a friendly crowd, he also threw in a few highlights from his long and storied career. Like in the early days when he started doing this, running for mayor of the eastern seaboard, he was at Rutgers University doing a sing-along while a police officer was searching him for weed. He also did a Q&A in character, where he gave absurd answers to anything people asked him.
Most of the people there were teens and college-aged people, though there were a few people there my age and older. He was pretty impressed that I drove all the way from New Jersey to see him. I got his book autographed, and I also got a t-shirt and bumper stickers. I'm totally glad I drove out there to see him.
Not from the event I was at, but here is Vermin giving his stump speech:
