Thanks to Justin Howell for pointing this out, as I hadn't yet gotten a chance to read this week's issue of The Tech.
Anyway, a bunch of people have been writing some opinion pieces over the past few weeks. Their title hurts their cause, but in the last couple weeks, they have started to progress from rantings to more logical essays. Their point this week is that Lloyd controls the ASCIT BoD and the BoC, which (as Justin correctly points out) has always been true at least dating back to when I came to Tech and likely dating back longer. Maria Satterwhite '98 was (very amusingly) once called "The BoC Queen" in The Tech. I'm not sure the current studies realize how long this has been true, but that's beside the point.
Here I quote the article: "The seniors do pass down myths of a time when Lloyd-grade referred to the finest product available rather than a type of feminine hygiene product and of the ancient Lloydies, such as Nate Lewis, Tim Elling, and Mason Porter, but no evidence of that once thriving civilization remains."
I knew my legendary status outlasted my (first) time at Tech, but I didn't know that Tim had become a legend too! It's worth mentioning, that all three of us are currently on campus, so I imagine that helps spur or restart stories. How can they discuss Lloyd legends without mentioning Slayer (who almost won or at least got a lot of votes for a couple ASCIT offices via write-in votes several years after he left)? The Lloyd-grade stuff is pretty old at this point---it predates me, so it's really ancient history (it's from the 70s, I believe).
Another thing to mention here is the wikipedia entry on Lloyd House, which mentions both Slayer and the Porno Master as famous Lloydies.
