Harsh Words and Sun Spots - The Gompei Chronicles
by Laurel, Guinevere, and Gompei
Here at Philler, we endeavor to entertain our readers with stories of WPI, so what could contain more school spirit than a story of our beloved mascot Gompei? Even though he's a goat, we discovered that he has a wonderful sense of humor. Thus was born a beautiful friendship and an adventure...
We discovered that Gompei, who was so recently "reborn," wished to see some of the sights this world has to offer. Unfortunately, there is a rule that says no class can take the goat beyond 1/4 mile from campus. We, however, do not have class, and therefore determined that the rule did not apply to us. In this spirit, we invite you to take a peek at our scrapbook...
Unbeknownst to us, the natives of the island did not find our conversation as appetizing as our diminutive friend. Gompei reports that his burns are healing nicely. Cards, flowers, and chocolate are always appreciated.
Of course, Laurel wanted to visit Hollywood to see Debby Gibson and Emmanuel Lewis. Gompei, however, was the lucky one who managed to bump into Tim Allen. He refuses to explain in detail, but somehow he managed to weasel his way into a guest appearance on "Tool Time." We think Tim "rewired him."
Even if you're just a finely molded hunk of metal, you still need to prepare for the weather. We got some important tips from Gompei for our ski trip in the Swiss Alps. Although we experienced numerous collisions with trees, inept skiers, and various inanimate objects, we remained fashionably attired.
After touring the world, Gompei enjoyed a long-awaited bubble bath. We didn't have the heart to tell him he still smelled like a goat...
Note that after touring the globe with us, Gompei went his own way. We have not heard from him since, nor do we know where he is at this time. He never calls... Never writes...
