I'm sure if I looked in my parents basement long enough...<BR/><BR/>I call for a Small Towns to be the next reprint. I really wish I would have written one of those columns. I was assigned it on two different issues, but failed to deliver on either (I had a hard time deciding on how mean I should be to you fools, and ultimately my girly good nature prevented me from writing anything that could even remotely offend anyone). <BR/><BR/>Some small town highlights include Mat being vaporized and totally forgotten about by his friends, Jed being kicked out of an eatery for his snobbish ways, Rob's manhood being questioned by Jed, and Me crying over an inflatable Big T, and becoming a bearded prophet/weirdo. <BR/><BR/>Those were some good/subversive articles.Tonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06452770273139579992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570298073511349932.post-90387643579680857092008-12-04T15:48:00.000-07:002008-12-04T15:48:00.000-07:00That Korn song was freaking awesome!

Megan, do you remember when Rob and I cut the bottom out of your lunch sack in journalism and when you picked it up all your food went all over the place? That was awesome.

In fact it became such a habit that during my freshman intensive writing class at BYU my teacher read an example of how writing tone didn't fit the story from a student in another class and I immediately recognized it as Mat's.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302897119529829972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570298073511349932.post-51038660378753790322008-12-02T08:01:00.000-07:002008-12-02T08:01:00.000-07:00You know, I've missed Ozark boy for the last 10 yr...You know, I've missed Ozark boy for the last 10 yrs.
