Aaron Vanlieshout is POOR Part II

People sometimes ask me what my personal favorite Brain Litter post of all time is and the answer to that is probably the Hottest Girls of Parkview Middle School because that lunch room map is pretty legendary. I hope they etch that goofy map on my tombstone some day. It really is my claim to fame as sad as that is.

But my second favorite post is easily Aaron Vanlieshout is POOR. That one cracks me up every time because of all those crude sketches of Aaron being poor and living in cardboard box so I thought I would revisit my Chemistry notebook for a couple more jabs at my good friend Aaron aka The Dude.


This one pretty much sums up the humor contained in my chemistry notes in a nutshell. I used to sit next to Dude in Chemistry sophomore year with Kris Kropp at the helm. We were the youngest people in class and it was kind of boring and we were also in gym class where he wore this tattered White Sox shirt so I would draw drawings like the one above because, hey, it sure beat learning stuff and it would make Dude mad.




Most of these drawings focus on poop. I hope that doesn't mean something.




This picture features a sweet drawing of Joe Barrie. The NCB stands for National Chemistry Board. This was part of a series with other famous people such as the Wu Tang Clan and Macho Man Randy Savage endorsing the NCB. It is completely nonsensical which leads me to this drawing:



I don't know why I think this is still funny but trust me, compared to some of the other weird shit I wrote at the time, this pic makes all the sense in the world.


This one is sort of an anomaly because Dude lives in a dumpster instead of a cardboard box. Those are flys buzzing by his head if you couldn't tell. You can tell I am successful in the future because I am wearing a tie, have great hair, and I am not portrayed as a stick figure.


Sometimes the Dude and I collaborated on projects such as the drawing above. Dude depicted a scene from one of the later seasons of Full House when Uncle Jesse beefed up his rock image by leaving Jesse and the Rippers and becoming The Vulture to bring a younger crowd to the Smash Club.

Don't remember that one, eh? You are very lucky. I'm ashamed that I have knowledge of that particular episode. Really ashamed. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to wager that a lot of my peers grew up watching the trials and tribulations of the Tanner family but probably only me, Dude, and like five other people stuck it out to the bitter end of that series. I should have threw in the towel when DJ's boyfriend Steve became a featured character on the show. That guy was LAME. At least Kimmy Gibbler got hot.

But if anyone out there in internetland is interested, I have SIX PAGES of other Full House reenactments written by myself and the Dude and how those situations would probably play out in the real world. I hesitate to publish these pages, a lot of the gags are real hit and miss but I'll the gauge public interest and play it by ear.
