How about the handwritten newspaper portrayed in the documentary “The Last Calligraphers” (google it).

Don’t forget America’s only Tri-Lingual newspaper, La Gaceta. It is published once a week in historic Ybor City here in Tampa.

Kevin: I had heard about the football game, but forgot. Thanks for mentioning it!

Amy & Rachel: I’ll have to check out the Porcupine Press and the Arcata Eye; they both sound great.

Great variety! The Onion is a personal favorite, but I can’t wait to check out the others!

I’m a fan of the Arcata Eye, a weekly paper out of Arcata, CA. (I might have already plugged them on this blog–I totally forget.)
The editor-in-chief is also the crime reporter, and apparently has tons of spare time on his hands.

Recent examples:
12:06 p.m. In retrospect, it was sheer foolishness to leave a portable computer, wallet and other valuables in a car at Fourth and J streets over the weekend.

12:20 p.m. A humanoid was observed curled up in a sleeping bag in an alley behind a downtown hardware store. Police investigated the worrisome lumpage, and determined that it was a futon in the shape of a person. The officers rearranged the futon so it didn’t look so much like a dead bod.

12:27 p.m. Nearby, a man lolling about in I Street was advised about wiser sitting practices.

The strangest paper I’ve seen is The Porcupine Press from Michigan’s UP. Its hilarious.

Kevin, I’m chuckling a bit, but that has to be one of the weakest taunts of opposing players ever.

Wow, when I clicked this, I did not expect to see the Cardinal and Herald on there. Former Cardinal here, graduate Spring 07.

Not only are we competitive in getting scoops, but also play insanely drunken games of football in the fall and softball in the summer.

In my time there, I only played in one game, but I lead the Cardinal in a variety of rousing anti-Herald cheers, my favorite being when the Herald somehow got a person on based I’d go, “Watch out for this guy, he’s Herald, so that means he’s an ace at stealing, just like (name withheld)” The name withheld being the name of a disgraced Herald editor who had gotten fired the previous semester for plagiarizing like 30 articles.
