"Baby On Board/How I've Adored/That Sign on My Car's Windowpane/...."
"Mr. Blachman writes an opinion column for the law school newspaper and composes songs for the law school a capella group, Scales of Justice, ...."
That names reminds me of a line from The Simpsons, said when Homer, Apu, Principal Skinner, and Barney are trying to come up with a name for their barber-shop quartet: "We need a name that's witty at first, but that seems less funny each time you hear it."
To me, though, the funniest part of the article comes when young Blachman talks about how the "law doesn't inspire him," how he yearns to write--as if he were interested in producing high art or something--and, then, how he wants to move to L.A. and write for television--great googlely mooglely! That may not be high art, but it is high comedy.
