One of the things I heard from my buddy (who works for MUSG) was that during dinners with donors Pilarz would make each of them read a poem in between courses. Now im not rich nor do I plan to be but I feel like that would be one of the last things that would peak my interest to get me to donate money to the University.

My godmother taught me to never speak poorly about a priest. All i will say is that public, involuntary poem-reading is a very, very bad idea. Especially before you ask them for money.

Zig was there and he offered up a classic for the good Father's gathering:

"There once was a girl from Nantucket..."

Heard Andrew Dice Clay's nursery rhymes were popular also 'round the dinner table.

I know Father Pilarz would have been totally copacetic with this poem:

n the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through the mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected,and steppin' out over the line
h-Oh, Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
