Q: What did you do this summer?

A: Well, as I’m sure you know, this was hot Beacon summer, and I was traveling all around the country with no shirt on, being the sexy tour-de-force that people here at UMass Boston know I am. You might be asking: Bobby, you have a shirt? I do have a shirt, and it can be taken off. However, some people had an issue with that—cops, to be specific. I was asked to leave most of the places I went to and that kind of sent me into this whirlwind of self-consciousness. Honestly, I spent most of the summer eating ice cream and drinking shampoo.
