Renegade Warriors Tea Party

Issue date: 2/5/04 Section: Fun House
Hello, Lakeland College. I'm back, but with a new position and picture. I was picked among many candidates for the prestigious job of the humor section editor.
What? You haven't heard about the new section? Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. Introducing the new humor section named [insert name here]. We have created a section for the Lakeland Mirror dedicated to entertaining the students, staff, alumni, cows, geese, etc. This section will contain humorous articles, comics, and even a crossword puzzle!
As you might have guessed, I will continue to provide my thought provoking articles that challenge your brain's capacity to think, bring a smile to your face, and poke fun at life's experiences.
How did this humor section form? This is probably not the first question that popped into your head, but I know that somewhere, deep down, you would like to hear the story about the renegade warrior's tea party. Actually, that is just the placeholder subtitle for my column until we come up with a real one, but I am still going tell the story of the humor section.
It all started last semester when I got the features editor position. I was worried that I wouldn't get the job as I was losing in the polls. Fate stepped in, and a sex scandal was uncovered involving the features editor incumbent and Lakeland's mascot Musko. The incumbent went on to become the editor-in-chief; hence, I became the shoe-in, capturing 95% of the votes--Musko got the other 5%.
Being the new features editor, I wanted to spice things up. I wanted people to read MY SECTION. The other sections could have deteriorated like a boy band, and I would not have cared. I concentrated on the Features section. Now I understood my goal, but how was I going to achieve it.
Then, I remembered what I usually read in the newspaper: the funny stuff. Reed Stratton had columns that tickled people's funny bones. Maybe I could create a column that people could laugh at.
Therefore, I decided to write about ideas that made me think but also made me snicker. My crazy columns made the rest of the mirror staff chuckle, but making the rest of the college giggle was my goal. If you laughed at least three times during any of my columns, then my goal was completed.
