Man Who Managed Clients for High-End Cambridge Brothel Network Pleads Guilty
Issuing from their isolated Mt. Auburn Street tomb late last night, a dozen gentleman witsters invaded Shepard Hall, home of the Crimson Radio Network, and broadcast their own version of "a Hitler invasion of the Dean's Office."
Starting at 9:15 o'clock the Ibisters' program lasted for 20 minutes until a loyal technician jerked out a vital tube a half an hour later and put the Network out of its misery.
"This is an invasion," Panzerster Kirkster Zwonkus told a surprised radio audience as he finished a neat and un-Lampy-like job of trussing up lone, faithful candidate Henry Ashworth '44.
Plucky, 115-pound Ashworth almost quashed the invasion before it began by a vigorous policy of sabotaging the wiring system when he saw the brown enemy approaching. His attempt was cut short by the work of Quislingster Harrister Zwonkus, a Lampoon man who had been working for three days as a Network candidate, learning the ropes in the guise of a fledgling comedian.
Star of the performance was bulky, brawny, muscular Sumnerster Q. Raptlster, whose resonant bass floated over the air waves in a simply priceless imitation of Lord Haw Haw, famed Nazi comedian. Bancroft G. Bancroft was also funny.
"The British fleet has been sunk defending Sicily. The Rumanian oil wells have been blown up for the pleasure of the populace; all enjoyed the fireworks," gloated Lord Hawster Hawster, as Godster termed himself.
After his advanced guard had been cut off the air, Head Putschster Coles Phinizy '42 announced wittily, "The co-operation in our blitzkrieg shows that there is an alarming amount of fifth colum activities in the United States and we fear that democracy is in peril."
