An explainer, for all you Phawker interns who weren't born yet: Back in the '88, MTV had this guy Randee of the Redwoods (real name: Jim Turner) as their "official" candidate for president. I know what you're thinking, but remember, this was way before "The Hills." Hell, it was before "The Real World," even.
Aaaanyhoo, this was when 60s nostalgia, babydoll dresses and smoking pot were in style the last time around, and MTV produced a bunch of spots where they had Randee going around the country in a Winnebago with the slogan "Just Say Woah," which in some ways pegs what it felt like to be 16 then. (Money quote: "I'm not running for president, I'm just running and the presidency is in the way," to the WaPo.) Paulie Shore may have been involved at one point but mercifully, you may be young enough that you're spared any memory of all that.
But hell, everybody loves cookies.
