Welcome our newest NoFactZone.net staff member

I’d like to introduce our newest NFZ staffer, Senior Canadian Correspondent TheLakeEffect. TheLakeEffect has been active in the Colbert fan community for many months, and has accepted the offer to work for free as the Keeper of the Calendar.

See, a few months ago, one of the fine folks at the Colboards asked if there was any kind of calendar listing the different events going on with Colbert such as TV appearances, events, and other public Colbert happenings. I thought to myself, well no, but I could do that! So I set up a calendar for this site. And promptly neglected it.

But with TheLakeEffect on the job, we’ll actually have a staff member whose sole purpose is to be the maintainer of All Things Colbert on the calendar. And I’m super jazzed about that – it adds one more element to this site that makes it your one-stop shop for all your Colbert needs. Because we’re cool like that.

So without further ado, allow me to let TheLakeEffect introduce himself:

The Lake Effect (Senior Canadian Correspondent): The Lake Effect is a weather phenomenon that dumps a lot of snow on the U.S., but not that much in Canada. This causes many schools in northern states to be closed for days at a time. Some people say I got this nickname from impeding education of Americans. Actually it’s because I got beaten up by a guy named El Niño for going out with his sister La Niña.

I enjoy fine legal dramas like ‘Boston Legal’ and ‘Harvey Birdman’. I’ve been watching ‘The Daily Show’ continuously since early in the Jon Stewart era, and ‘The Colbert Report’ since it debuted on The Comedy Network here in “America’s Oregon.”

I find myself to be sharing several attributes with Stephen Colbert. First, I am a Catholic. Second, I am also writing a novel where the protagonist has clearly had hundreds of girlfriends. Third, I’m known to promote the use and subsequent abuse of Wikipedia. Lastly, I don’t see race. People tell me that I’m Chinese and I believe them because I know how to kill a panda with a single wooden chopstick. They also tell me that I’m Canadian and I have to believe that as well as I can kill a polar bear with a hockey stick – a vital skill to have when you live in Toronto.
