So that's my Invisible College memento: A replica of the sign adorning 'The Peoples Temple' around the time of Jim Jones poison-kool-aid-open-mike night in Jonestown, Guayana. When I move in September I plan on hanging it over my writing desk.

Or maybe, just maybe I should don my wrestling mask, godown to Little Five early in the morning one weekend and try my luck at the subtle and diplomatic arts of Professional Spare Changing:

"Please sir, can't you spare a quarter for a poor Luchadore down on his luck? My wife and nine children were killed by a rabid gang of Aztec Robot Mummy's and I need some walking around Dinero to get back on my feet... or drunk whatever happens first."

"Ma'am, if ever the love of our Lord has moved your heart, let it be now for this masked vigilante, who has seen better days. I have only recently returned to Earth after saving our beloved planet during a no holds barred lucha libre match held on the dreaded planet Vampiros- home of the equally dreaded Astro Bat-Women! I thought I was only gone for a week but when I returned home I discovered that 50 of our Earth years had passed... ma'am... ma'am ...?"

"I went to Guayana to fight the ghost of Jim Jones and all I got was this lousy sign..."

On second thought maybe i'll just hang it above my writing desk after all.
