I believe Terry wrote the bulk of this with important
contributions from Larry Deck. The
Legendary Kevin Johnson, I believe, is responsible for the hilarious
title. Our editorial cartoonist Kristen
Palmer did the leprechaun illustration. Larry's most notable
contribution in this article was deep thinking an acronym for a leprechaun
rights group that spells out LUCKYCHARMS: Leprechauns Upstart
Canadian Kinsfolk Yearning for Change, Hope,
and Real Melioration Soon.
Terry and I were fascinated by the idea of leprechauns
as immigrants, trying to make their way in Canadian and Windsor
society. We used to feature a leprechaun character on our radio show.
The line about the truffle pig I contributed. On our radio
show, we used to do this other skit about two children and their pet, Wags
the Dog. The kids' favorite pastime was playing "Wags the Amazing
Truffle Pig".
Angus Waugh was a nod to a long time Lance
volunteer named Andrew Waugh.
