Journalism At It’s Finest
By Nate • Nov 27th, 2007 • Category: General SodY’know what? Chicken butt.
Y’know why? Because your butt’s dry.
Y’know where? In your underwear.
Y’know who? Dog poo.
Y’know when? Let’s do this again…
The five most important questions that you absolutely should ask and use when you write as a journalist are; who, what when, where, and why. In my one year as a journalism major at Moorhead State University (I still refuse to call it Minnesota State University Moorhead, it sounds stupid and the reasons that were given for doing it are even stupider) those five simple questions were drilled into my head time and time again.
Yet, after all of that, the above example is what I come up with when I think of those five words. There are reasons why I write for a blog instead of for an actual publication. My guess would be that this is one of the biggest.
Or maybe it’s exactly the opposite and they’re all missing out on my twisted genius…
Nate is pretty sure Mark Twain said it best, "Humor is the great thing, the saving thing after all. The minute it crops up, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations, and resentments flit away, and a sunny spirit takes their place."

It’s “its,” not “it’s.” Knows your its, damnit.
Damn you journalism majors! Haunting my very existence until the day I die!!
