George H. W. Bush: One Last Bonesman
Bash?
JULIE BOSMAN

Tuesday December 18, 2007
An interesting coincidence: The same weekend that George H. W. Bush (Y'48,
S&B'forlife) dropped by New
Haven to receive a Yale alumni award, witnesses saw a truck from the
nearby Hamden Rental Center unloading an impressive quantity of tables
and chairs at the Skull & Bones tomb. Famously absent from Boner bashes
in recent years (last appearance we can confirm was in 1998), all signs
point to the 83-year-old Bush Sr. as guest of honor at the Bones' latest
homoerotic leather-daddy Satan-worship, or ritualized
flag-burning, or whatever strange and magical things they do in those
windowless buildings on High Street.
Obviously, the Bonesmen declined to comment on this story. Also obviously,
there are no photos of Bush strolling into the tomb. So instead, at right,
Bush frolicking in the streets of New Haven. He appears to be packing
a snowball, but actually he is signing a baseball. Because that's what
you do when you're old, famous, and powerful: sign sports paraphernalia
that has absolutely to do with your life or career.
As for that blatant O-face beneath the words "Toad's Funk,"
I think we just got a new sexual euphemism.
