Indeed, Dr. Fahey reminds most freshmen of an older Napoleon Dynamite.
Have you guys ever thought of doing a little blurb on the history or at least origin of the Chronicler, and of the Clothesline? I bet even other Christendom students would learn something. Just a thought.
I bet we would, if we had any idea. It's my opinion that it sprung fully armed from someone's head. Maybe Mr. O'H's. I doubt that, though.
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! *Waving hand frantically in the air & jumping up & down* I know! I know how the Closeline got started! I'm a little foggy (okay, more than a little foggy) on how the Chronicler itself got started, but I'm all up on the history of the Closeline. :)
