Introductory Letter


Published: Sun, 01 Apr 2007 01:00:00 -0500

Dear Readers,

 

It’s wonderful to see you all again. The month of March has been a very interesting one for us here in the Cracked Pot family. Things have happened that managed to send our schedule into a proverbial whirl, but we persevered and have succeeded, somehow, in bringing you a new feast for your eyes—a new companion for your brain. In other words, welcome to the April issue of The Cracked Pot!

 

Since you are all students or faculty here at The Potter’s School, I feel that it is my duty as a reporter and Senior Editor of TCP to enlighten you concerning the strange events of this past month. To begin, Features Editor Sarah Hayes was abducted by aliens—an event that you can read about in our News section. Al Gore is now taking over as Features Editor, and I can honestly say that we are happy to welcome him to the TCP family. Alumna reporter and former Senior Editor Emily Griswold discovered that her family had lost her at a young age and that she was actually raised by a family of wild bovine until she was four years old. Griswold has now decided to return to her “roots” and has gone to live in the pasture with dairy cows. Columns Editor Chris McMillion has left us to prepare for his presidential campaign. We here at TCP fully support him and would love to see McMillion elected as president in 2008.

 

In addition to these bizarre, but not unwelcome, events, reporters have died in orange-throwing fights, The Potter’s School is taking a trip to the moon, and there is grass in my front yard. Saying that March has been a strange month is the understatement of the century, and, yet, that is all that I can manage to say on the subject.

 

Also, I feel that it is a good time for me to tell you all that, as of this issue, I am giving up my position as Senior Editor and have decided to spend the rest of my life petitioning against the abuse of cheese. Gouda, Swiss, Parmesan…they are all people, too! This is my life goal, and I would be ecstatic if you would all support me in it.

 

Thank you, and I hope that you enjoy our April issue!

 

Tiffany Yonts

Senior Editor

The Cracked Pot

 

P.S. In case you haven’t noticed already, absolutely everything in this Introductory Letter—and in the entire issue, for that matter—is absolutely bogus. This is an April Fools’ issue, people! That’s right: we have a nearly full-blown April Fools’ issue this month. Don’t believe anything that you see, hear, or read. Enjoy.
