U.S. Naval Academy Plebes
Complete Annual Rite of Passage
So it’s commissioning week at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, site of one of the most homoerotic events we’ll ever witness. And it happens every spring. The Herndon Monument climb occurred yesterday (2:00 p.m., Tuesday, May 16) as we were treated to two hours of writhing, straining, bare-chested plebes while they grasped and squeezed each other as they mounted a 21-ft. tall phallic-shaped granite monument. It had been lubricated to the hilt with hundreds of pounds of lard. After racing to the monument the plebes stripped off their shirts, which they used to wipe away the goo that prevented easy access to the top, where a Dixie-cup plebe cap was to be replaced by 333an upperclassman’s hat. Is this a great country, or what?
Plebes began climbing the monument in 1940. The placement of the cap
started seven years later. In 1949, upperclassmen began smearing lard on
the monument to make the climb more challenging.
