Humor: Student engages in chess match, banjo duel, game of wits with Satan in battle for GPA

HumorDecember 3, 2018
The devil went down to Wellman 2 For one student, getting the grades they need for grad school wasn’t a matter of hard work. Instead, it was a matter of besting the King of Air himself in a series of traditional duels: the usual good ole fashioned Satanic chess match, banjo duel and game of […]

Humor: MAGA for the Win! California fires actually started by brave pro-Trump activist to protest “poor forest management”

HumorNovember 30, 2018
Now that’s how you do the First Amendment! Recent reports revealed that the wildfires that devastated towns like Pleasure, California were not, in fact, caused by climate change or poor forest management — they were actually started by a brave pro-Trump activist as a form of protest against California’s poor forest management.

Republicans have used gerrymandering to sway elections for the past decade While the most recent midterm elections yielded results that some would ecstatically call a “blue wave,” the lack of House seats picked up by Democrats in states like North Carolina and Wisconsin underscores the use of gerrymandering to sway elections — a benefit primarily […]

California fire relief doesn’t end with containment

EditorialNovember 28, 2018
Students, faculty, staff should unite to support relief effort When officials announced on Nov. 25 that the Camp Fire in Butte County was 100 percent contained, California seemed to exhale a sigh of relief as smokey skies began to clear and air conditions returned to normal.

Humor: Playground installs another “toy” for kids to hurt themselves on

HumorNovember 28, 2018
“It worked for the French revolutionaries, not sure why it won’t work here” Most people look at the city council’s recent decision with disgust. And I ask you: why? Is it because of your preconceived notions about what counts as childhood “play?” If we are to train our next generation of soldier-good-boys properly, we must […]

Humor: Student mistakes my “ethnic food” for foul-smelling feet

HumorNovember 27, 2018
Toe jam or rice and stew? From Japanese cuisine to Indian delicacies, pungent odor seems to be the common issue for Americans — dare I say white people — when they walk past a meal that smells like pure struggle. Though delicious, Americans often judge the foods of immigrants as stinky with a bucket-load of […]

Humor: I am UC Davis’ preeminent keyboard warrior

HumorNovember 27, 2018
My comprehension skills are off the charts I’m the number-one keyboard warrior at UC Davis. I earned this distinction after years of hunting my poor, sniveling victims on social media. It’s impossible to defeat my carefully crafted evidence for why you suck. Don’t be fooled — I’m a fantastic student with tons of hobbies and […]

Humor: After being fired by The Aggie, I apologize for the deeply offensive article I recently wrote

I’m beyond repentant Five weeks ago, I wrote an extremely offensive article. Due to the intense backlash to the Article, The Aggie promptly fired me. In fact, you could say I was actually fired at the very moment I had the idea to write the Article. The Thought Police were on me like THAT, and […]
