An elite strike team formed of current and former Collegian Op-Ed section editors, the DES columns were my favorite columns in college. Under the cover of multiple authorship, it also gave us cover to express all of the most maliciously funny snide comments that we had, since we could always blame each other if someone cornered us about the nasty things we'd said. I'd also like to note up front that all of the lines referencing Nazis were by Scott Shepard.
If you didn't go to the University of Richmond during that time frame, most of the jokes will seem riotously unfunny to you. Actually, they'll probably seem riotously unfunny even if you did go there. Anyway, these were a lot of fun to do.
Achtung! Der Dining Hall Putsch ist in Der Haus! - (October 20, 1994) We announced that we were taking over the college and executing everybody we didn't like. That was fun.
The Gospels According to Richmond (Condensed) - (December 1, 1994) As our Christmas 1994 gift to the students, we decided to piss off everyone on campus who was even vaguely religious. I think we also broke the world record for number of "inside jokes" per column inch of text. That was also a lot of fun.
The Official University of Richmond Dictionary/Thesaurus/ Encyclopedia and Souvenir Placemat - (February 16, 1995) This was our brazen attempt to just plain offend everybody that we hadn't offended so far. I will now admit that I completely ripped of the "Ring Dance is just like a bar mitzvah but with sex in the elevators" joke form P. J. O'Rourke. That was really lots of fun.
Dead Editors' Final Message: 'We'll See You in Hell' - (April 20, 1995) For this final DES column, we included Chris White, who was the incoming Opinion Section editor. All of the "Pebbles" and "Max Vest" jokes were from Caputo. The "piteous sigh" line was from Shepard. I'm proud to say that the line "Here's to our dark lord Rosenbaum" line was mine. This was our last attempt to collectively say everything we could think of that was funny about UR and also massively offensive, since only White would be around to get blamed for it. I think it worked quite well.
