It doesn't mean you can just phone 'em in and expect people to believe you're not just another in a long line of stunningly mediocre Emerald writers. Also, it's gonna set a mighty low bar for when you are 4 columns into the year and you've run out of ideas... Andy- yes, yes it is...

I stalked you on the facebook, and you seem like a decent person - so show people that with your writing. But most of all, don't critque my journalist (in)abilities when you have opened your mouth and removed all doubt of your complete stupidity.

You might want to defend your "own train of thought" because everyone else thinks you've derailed off a bridge. Oh WAIT!!! YOU'RE THE EDITOR! YOUR JOB IS TO DEFEND YOUR EDITORIAL AGENDA YOU TARD! Damn this is going to be an awesome year for us Ted! Emily - we both agree that guns are fun!

You would then realize that they are very different thanks to bad formatting, not my lack of grammar skills. If I ever wrote a sentence that went “Let’s start with women?” I would kick my own ass. Everything else I wrote is my own train of thought and I’m not apologizing or defending any of it. Agree to disagree.

We give in. Because you are clearly a cracker-jack ace investigative reporter, we are relinguishing control of the OC to you. Sorry, Ted, but last year's board of directors re-convened, and in light of Shaheen's overwhelming evidence of a high-level conspiracy to blow up the WTC and Pentagon, we gave him the position. You have 24 hours to clean out your desk. You’re right, Shaheen! We give in. Because you are clearly a cracker-jack ace investigative reporter, we are relinguishing control of the OC to you.

Show me the evidence since you seem so sure of yourselves. Winner gets $100. You have my word. Bitches.
