Sugar and Fruit and Everything Cute
“4 cups of cherries or more, maybe 5 just to be sure. 1 cup of sugar or more if the berries are sour. Let your belly say when, when you put in a good pinch cinnamon.” – “Cherry Pie” by Katzenjammer Kitten cute, puppy cute, glass tank with a guppy cute. Flower cute, picnic cute,…

Inorcism of Molly
What is ecstasy in life? I’m not talking about the pill named molly. I’m the only one here who’s being a pill ask- ing such a phony question, and I’ll take on the name Molly too while I’m at it. Anyhow, the Google machine tells me it’s “an overwhelming feeling of great happiness or joyful…

A Critique of Brain-Use Policy
Editor’s Note: This article is a work of satire. Lawrence University promises academic freedom and inclusivity to its students, but it suppresses my rights to promote fascist ideology in many ways. You know, like freedom is like this thing and … like I think it’s really important that we are freedom and stuff. I think…
