College Comedy Magazines - If It Was On Webshots

March 26, 2007 AT 10:40AM | Comments (3)

Webshots_2 (Each week, David Maize shares his favorite feature of a college humor magazine.)

Webshots, like any free-membership photo site, is an enormous reservoir of poorly composed shots taken by 16-year-olds. This week, Rahul Sharodi of the Pennsylvania Punch Bowl shows what it would be like if it hosted fine art. See the rest here.

(Ed: Photo caption sic, natch. Ah, the Ivy League...)

New Book From The Writers Of Collegehumor.com

052594991701_aa240_sclzzzzzzz_v4605 Anyone who's been in this situation knows, it's pretty obvious if you fake something without first consulting a guide. Now you can fake it for real with a new book by the writers of Collegehumor.com,
"Faking It: How to Seem Like a Better Person Without Actually Improving Yourself"
Here's a clip from an interview with the authors in the NY Daily News: When has faking not worked for you?

Ethan Trex: I'll cut right to the moral of this story. If you're dating someone from a family that includes an ATP tour tennis player and they ask you if you are any good at tennis, don't say, "Yeah, I've played a little."

Neel Shah: I was once at a painfully boring book party and decided to amuse myself by telling everyone I was a cartoonist from The New Yorker. Which went over well until I started talking to some girl who literally knew every cartoon in the magazine because her grandfather was actually a cartoonist for The New Yorker. Suffice it to say, we didn't talk long.

College Comedy Magazines - Crime In The Lesser Degree

March 16, 2007 AT 05:00PM | Comments (2)

Jester(Each Friday, David Maize shares his favorite feature of a college humor magazine.)

After a week of high-profile crimes in New York, I'm starting to think people need to be reminded of what's illegal. This week the crew at The Columbia Jester lays down the law:

Sixth-Degree Perjury: Casually announcing to your common-law spouse that you spent last night watching Court TV with a glass of Ernest and Julio Gallo Hearty Burgundy, when in fact you were watching phone sex commercials while drinking Malibu Caribbean Rum with Natural Coconut Flavor.

Third-Degree Breaking And Entering:
Building a life-size replica of someone else’s house, painstakingly recreating every detail of the architecture and interior decorating, and subsequently breaking into it under the cover of night and stealing all the duplicate valuables.

Ninth-Degree Car Theft: Putting a car on blocks, hotwiring the engine, and letting it run until the mile marker is about to change to the next mile.

Eighth-Degree Murder:
After unsuccessfully trying to revive a heart attack victim for thirty minutes, giving up and shooting him when unable to bring him back to life.
