THE GARGOYLE vu i ftifoe via 7 Gargoyle Humor Magazine the official humor magazine of the University since 1909 and the co-founder of Nintendo of America. Well, okay, so we could not have really claimed to have helped create Donkey Kong but we can claim to have entertained University students galore for nearly a century and this past year was no exception. We put out four brand spankin ' new issues of comedy for the whole family (except little kids) (and old people). In those issues we ravaged many with our comic wit. From focusing on attacking things like television, conspiracy theories and technology, we branched off into jokes on George Bush (who we don ' t like very much), Jenna Jameson (who we ' re really pretty fond of) and squirrels (who we ' re rather indifferent to). We also terrorized innocent passersby, created whole new categories of obscene scatological references, fought The Man to undermine The Institution and start The Revolution and made fun of John Navarre a little, although in the end he probably didn ' t deserve it. So basically, it was business as usual in our always bizarro little corner of 420 Maynard. New staff members joined and added new and funny ideas and new and frightening body odors. Old staff members left and stole what they could on the way out. Offensive e-mails were sent in mind shattering quantities, Daily staff members were mocked, video games were played, alcohol was imbued, and occasionally, very occasionally, we got a little work done. We gained invaluable publishing skills (learning how to write everything three days before the issue is due after spending the previous month just sitting around and insulting each other), honed our writing abilities (as long as our future employers don ' t have any ' lawyers ' interested in preventing us from writing ' libel ' , ' slander ' and ' unmentionable obscenities ' ) and had a really good time doing it (no, seriously). We made jokes that will last for years and friends that will last a lifetime. Or at least until we graduate and abandon them. In short, it was a good year here at the world ' s premiere comedy magazine and giant inflatable penis emporium. We laughed, we cried, we drank heavily. It was a special time.
