Austin

Mike Faerber attends the University of Texas along with the 2005 National Champion Longhorn Football team. He majors in Radio-TV-Film or whatever major you say after he asks, "What’s your major?" Mike rarely skips class and almost hurls every time he takes a shot. In his off time, he gets naked, complains, and dreams of being a comic. Mike is funny. Mike isn’t very funny. Mike saw his first pair of breasts at age 17. At age 19 he finally came to... the realization that boobs are awesome. He also grew a beard in his two year coma, and has formed a search party (made up of delicious snacks) for his mouth. Scientists once tried to extract DNA from his hair, but instead ended up extracting even more hair from his DNA.

Comedy Writing

Writing about Writing

As I've said before, one of the best advice you can give to writer's is write what you know. And since I'm a writer, you guessed it, this blog is all about writing. Thanks to this joke, it's also about writing about writing about writing. Everyone still with me?<br />

And We’re Back

I've been on a road trip this past week, so if you've got the shakes from two weeks of No Hard Way, I apologize. However much like the story of JOB, the humor writer taketh away, but he giveth back in glut. This should be the last break in the Hard Ways, as the "regular season" is startin' up.<br />

Macro View of the Fate of the World

<p>For most of my life, I've had one maybe two real friends at any given time. This isn't sad to gain pity, but rather to make you realize that in depth conversations with close friends are few and far between for me. But today, unexpectedly, my friend Adam and I not only pondered the fate of humanity, but also agreed upon the one solution to all of earth's ills.

Working Like It’s My Job

I wrote an column earlier this summer about working, but if you do the math and add up the percentage of my life that has been spent at work recently, you'd agreed that it was hardly sufficient.

The Hard Way

A curious introspective into the soul of college, woven with a love of comedy and absurdity that will leave you in stitches.
