Once upon a time, a bunch of miscreant children awoke to find themselves in a lovely little town in rural Ohio. They wandered into a glen, and came upon a bubbling spring surrounded by orange rocks. Being thirsty, the children drank from the well and the water tasted fresh, if a little metallic. The last one had just finished sating her thirst when suddenly some local children appeared.
"You fools!" They cried. "You have drank from the Yellow Springs, don't you know what this means?"
"Uh, that looks more orange than yellow to me."
"Clearly you are idiots, because you have just bonded yourself to this place for life. All those who drink from the Yellow Springs will return forever. You can leave but you will always return."
"Is there no way to brake this curse?" They asked.
"There is one way, but it is a long and arduous journey and most do not make it to the end. You must succeed in securing a degree from the once radical and reputable but currently failing liberal arts college across the street. They are the keeper of the Glen and to them you must pay your dues."
Some were happy at this news, they liked Ohio and didn't mind the idea of staying. Other's were despondent, they were from great metropolitan centers and longed to return to the hustle and bustle of city life. Either way, they all picked their way across the street to register for classes. Then began drinking heavily.
GAY FAM WAS BORN.
