Hall of Fame: Senior Editor Bracket – Round of 64

Welcome to the Inaugural Jivewater News Hall of Fame Induction Competition

Senior Editor Bracket – Round of 64

Over the next few weeks, you, the reader, will vote to find four deserving entrants into the Jivewater News Hall of Fame.  In all, we have 64 entrants, ranging from articles, to characters, to inanimate objects that have all been seeded based on what we believe are the strongest candidates to enter the Hall of Fame, but you the reader will decide who is worthy.  This is set up exactly like the NCAA basketball tournament, so lose before the Jive 4 and the candidate will fail to reach the Hall.  To start, we’ll reveal 8 matchups at a time with a vote period of a couple days, until the first round is complete.  Then we’ll go from there until the entrants are chosen.  Happy voting, and may the best candidates get enshrined!  Read on to start voting…

An Open Letter to the SoCo Fair

 Soco Fair 

Dear Whoever “runs” the Fair:

First I’d like to apologize for being too lazy to look into who is actually in charge; I got things to do, as I’m sure do you, so I hope you can understand. As I’m sure you are aware, you are charging 20 bucks for Friday night at this shindig the County calls its Fair. Now before you get all defensive and say, “You can buy an entire pass for the whole event for $20, see, we’re not ripping you off!” please allow me my time.

Before I delve into what’s really bugging me, I’ll deflect this $20 pass thing away quickly. If your life is at the point where 4 nights at the fair for $20 bucks sounds like a good idea, well you’re clearly mistaken. That’s not a value, personally I think making someone be there for 4 straight nights is a form of some sick, twisted, torture.

Maybe we can use it in place of a short term prison sentence for some people. “What’s that? I can have four days of searing heat, broken-down, greasy carnival rides, being herded like cattle into the beer line just to have half the beer spilled on me, seeing “friends” I’ve tried to avoid for the past 361 days, sitting through a pageant that only Chester Hardy could love, all while the smell of putrid B.O. and manure permeate the atmosphere as annoying gnats and giant mosquitoes circle my head all night?” said… no one ever.
