The following document is excerpted from the inaugural presentation in the Lawrence Stanley Denton Lecture Series, presented by Hooligan Community College, a division of Psychedelic State University. Your extinguished presenter, Professor Anton Saurian.

We
begin, of course, with the Proto-Hooligan, Holtensis
Hoolipithicus. He is recognized as the first of our kind by
the characteristic Hooligan cranium of massive bone
containing virtually no cerebrum.
Moving
forward 100,000 years, let us view the first of the modern
Hooligan species, Desnmorie Cro Hooligan, also know as the
Bone headed Man. Densmorie is thought to have been the
inventor of music, banging out percussive rhythms with his
weighty skull against tree trunks and rocks.
Let
us now look at the dawn of modern civilization. Here we meet
the great Pharaoh Root-en-tooten-Hoolikamun of the
Egypshinez. The builders of the world's first and only flat
pyramids, the Egypshinez are also thought to be the first to
brew a beer-like beverage- a nasty gruel fermented of pizza
crusts and hot-dogs, diet staples of these sallow complected
people.
Meanwhile,
to the East, Genghis Bong conquered all of Eurasia and
stoned everybody!
And,
in Africa today, we find these great Stoned Heads. Evidence
of a great lost Hooligan civilization? While experts argue,
Hooligans have no doubt of their real
significance.
But,
what of the conquest of the New World? As we know, Carlo
Hoolumbus set sail in three spliffs, the Sativa, Visina and
Pint o' Sangria, in search of the Orient and rare spices. He
never got to the orient, but he did return from Brooklyn
with some excellent dime bags.
His
dose-covery was met with great inhalation by Queen
Hoolibella of Highberia.
Moving
to the modern era, Hooligans are best known for their
cultural contributions, particularly in the arena of popular
music. No single group better embodies this fact than those
fabulous mop-tops, Don, Paul, Rog and Billy.
Finally,
let us ask; what of the future? Scientists agree that if
evolutionary trends continue- this is the face of the
Hooligan in the 4th millennium! Note the bulging, crazed and
blood-shot eyeballs and the cranium the size of a
soccer-ball containing a brain-pan the size of a pea and
full of nothing more substantial than a wisp of cannabis
smoke.

With
that, allow me to conclude this evening's Lawrence Stanley Denton
Lecture and remind you- here at Hooligan Community College, a
division of Psychedelic State- every friggin' minute, there's another
pop-quiz!
