Wesleyan-Speeches: I’d like to go to school here, please

I arrived at school last month with the hope of permanently leaving the weevil-infested orphanage I once called home. After I arrived, though, I was greeted with the rudest chorus of names and obscenities you could think of. Even my roommate urinated on me as I slept.

A most disturbing outbreak of thefts has the Wesleyan campus all a-gossip as we enter the lovely days of the New England autumn. As of printing, the amateur bi-cyclists of the Wesleyan Amateur Bi-Cyclists’ Club have completed 19 notices to the Office of Public Safety and Mulling Spices, reporting the theft of the large front wheels of their bi-cycles.

With the new class of 1910, Wesleyan University has made great strides to diversify its student population by admitting men from a slightly wider array of economic backgrounds. Some current students see this new class as "no-good rascals," "ne’er-do-wells," and "ragamuffins," while others look forward to the breath of fresh air that the ’10ers bring.

Greetings and salutations, ertswhile companions! Isn’t it grand to be alive in the Year of Our Lord 1906? Why, we just learned at the World’s Fair that someday we may have pictures transmitted by radio-wave! Revel in the hilarity presented in the following mimeo-sheet, and remember: the Ampersand doesn’t use a Jewish printing press, and neither should you!

Editors’ Note: Pope-pourri for 100

September 26, 2006, by , . Leave a Comment

For reasons not entirely clear to us, this issue ended up being entirely Pope-themed. We had nothing to do with it. It must have been ordained from on high, like all our editorial decisions.

The recent International Census showed that Catholicism has lost its popularity amongst target demographic groups such as 18- to 34-year-old males, party peoples, and big-tittied blondes with asses that taste like cotton candy. Furthermore, opinion polls show Pope Benedict XVI standing rungs of popularity below his predecessor, the late John Paul II.
