Derrick Comedy's 'Mystery Team' guarantees laughs
By Jon Silman | Sep. 16, 2009"Mystery Team" is the story of three high school virgins stuck as their 7-year-old Encyclopedia Brown-type personalities. Kind of like my life, but with actual cases to solve and not just wishful thinking. The three friends ride matching bikes and harass 6-year-olds. In fact, they get in trouble for forcefully removing a kid from the playground and teaching him a lesson about putting his fingers in things.

By Kyle Krutek | Sep. 16, 2009To everyone selling their ticket for more than $100: Stop ripping off your fellow students. Stop entering the lottery just to sell your tickets.
