Pope: Less than a year ago we were standing in your Nikes, dear reader. We sat in the nosebleed section of Budig 110, shifting uncomfortably in our seats trying to stomach the inane rants that crammed the opinion page. And now we’re the ones carrying on that legacy! We’ve come a long way, baby.
Ryan: If our time here has taught us anything, it’s that anyone could do this. We decided to test that theory with a few experiments. Test one included “borrowing” some monkeys from the Kansas City Zoo, putting them in a room with some laptops and waiting for the magic to happen. Unfortunately, they just wrote a bunch of Shakespeare and proceeded to defecate everywhere.
Pope: So we move to Plan B. The following is a carefully constructed Mad Lib rant that we invite you to complete at your leisure. Something making you angry? Simply fill in the blanks with whatever words you deem appropriate and watch as your opinion instantly matters more than anyone else’s. Chances are it will end up better than anything we could have written.
Ryan: Bonus points if you include “Matt Kleinmann” as anything other than a noun.
