Hemp-Hop is run by Jack Hemphill and Max Hopton, childhood friends who were bullied into writing it by Jake Shuman, the e-Scholium head. Here is a short introduction of the two of them and their blog.
Porpoise of the Blog- This blog’s main purpose will be to discuss interesting subjects and topics and sometimes even teach people a few things they may not know. For the most part we’ll write fairly comical and laid-back columns and we hope to entertain readers to the point where they will be discussing topics in the comments and telling us what they what they want to hear from Hemp and Hop next.
Hopton- Max Hopton was born in Idaho in the spring of ‘97 and was immediately adopted by a Pennsylvanian family for unknown reasons. A good egg child known for his perfect grades, Hopton spent a few wonderful years wowing the Westtown school community. After 8th grade, he left Westtown to join the Episcopal Academy. In his early days he defended the school on many occasions from grave dangers such as the Haverford School and Liam Neeson. He now spends most of his time rehabilitating killer whales and flying hang gliders.
Hemphill- Jack Hemphill was born in Hawaii in the harsh winter of ’96 and subsequently adopted by a Pennsylvanian family. A problem child, Jack was sent to the Westtown School for most of his young life. After 8th grade, young Hemphill left Westtown forever and began being homeschooled. He hated homeschooling and soon went back to a normal school, EA. He now spends most of his time listening to music and obsessing over HBO’s hit TV series A Game of Thrones, based on the bestselling novels A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin (returns April 9th).
