in The Scrivener, UCLA Law’s occasional and anonymous humor publication. (Actually, today’s issue was Teh Scrivener.) The humor at times rather misfires, and is often not quite to my taste; whenever you make up humorous stories that involve professors or administrators by name (which the publication routinely does), you risk being more annoying than amusing.
But some is really funny. My favorite item is the tiny-print disclaimer at the bottom:
Note for numbnuts: The Scrivener is predominantly lies. You do not see similarites to real people. That’s the liquor talking again.
UPDATE: I originally said “whenever you talk about professors or administrators by name”; I meant “talk” in the particular context involved in The Scrivener, but I realize this might not have been clear. I’ve tried to clarify this by instead saying more precisely, “whenever you make up humorous stories that involve professors or administrators by name.”
