I apologize for the quality of this article for I am not a writer, but when I heard the news I had to say something.

I am an elementary school teacher from Milwaukee and have been reading The Weekly for the past two years. I discovered The Weekly when one of my students slid the paper across my desk with the page open to an article titled “Austin Powers is my bag,” and I was hooked. Will Wamser’s retirement from The Weekly has brought me to tears. I love him and what he does, for not just me, but the whole world.

It has been difficult to smile since Mr. Wamser’s retirement. The way his articles just run from joke to joke and feel endless have brought me much joy. His articles are the ravings of a genius. Mr. Wamser’s writing is devoid of meaning as a commentary on our current news cycle. The news says nothing, so why should Mr. Wamser? He gives the world what it deserves. Funny, poignant, interesting articles which turn a mirror on society and the man.

I have been saved by Mr. Wamser and his magical words. At this time two years ago I was walking down the middle of the street, when this 19-wheeler came out of nowhere and almost ran me over. That’s when I heard it, the voice of an angel, and the voice of an author. Will Wamser began to yell “articles are just arn’ticles that are,” a famous quote of his. I turned to see quite a handsome man and fell over laughing at his great joke. I fell to the ground as the truck passed over me and my life was spared. When I arose, Mr. Wamser was gone. He will always be in my heart.

This boy has such a way with words. He creates a whole world with every article. Look at his article “I’ve got the most Olympic gold stars,” in which he refers to Shaun White as his best friend. In this article Mr. Wamser is creating a world in which anyone can be friends with Shaun White, and that’s a world I want to live in. Reality is no longer a factor in these articles and allow for a journey into an alternate dimension where a boy can run for mayor. If given the choice I would live in any fantasy created by Mr. Wamser, but they have been ripped away from me. I am forced to return to reality for the rest of my days, no goodbyes, no farewells, no nothing.

I love Will Wamser. He is the point of my existence.

Mr. Wamser is doing God’s work with these articles and if the Muhlenberg Weekly knew anything they would hold onto him as best they can. But it appears it is too late for that. If you agree hit me up on Facebook and we can reminisce about our favorite Mr. Wamser moments.

  1. Hi Kile, big fan, I’ve been your student for two years now and I really admire the way in which you teach. I think this article has taught me an additional lesson. It taught me the importance of understanding. I understand now. I really do. Thank you so much.
    I pray for your good health and that no more 19-wheelers face you this year.
