General Election Cancelled Presidency to be Decided by a Game of Hungry Hungry Hippos At a joint press conferDuring the press conference ence last Tuesday, President Bush recounted light-hearted George Bush and Democratic stories from his extensive Presidential Nominee John training period. “I canʼt tell Kerry announced they would you how many times during forego the traditional method the first week [Hungry of choosing a new president Hungry Hippos advisor Pat] by public elections in favor McPheeters told me to push of a winner-take-all game down on the Hippos to get of Hungry Hungry Hippos. them munching,” said Bush.

Taking time out of His busy schedule of answering prayers and phoning Mel Gibson, Jesus met with representatives of Jews for Jesus to clarify the terms of their tenuous relationship. Eyewitnesses at the meeting describe an exasperated, yet gracious Christ. “Youʼre probably wondering why called you here today,” said Jesus, as he fumbled with the clasp of his sandals and avoided eye contact, “So Iʼm just going to come out and say it. Iʼm flattered that you feel so strongly about Me, but Iʼd be lying if I said I could have those feelings for you. I hope “Jews-they just got no ‘ups,’” -Jesus we can still be friends—at least until I damn you all to an eternity in hell.” Leaders of Jews for Jesus were taken aback by Jesusʼ candor. “I really thought there was some chemistry between us,” said Joshua Halperin, the leader of the Midwest chapter. “Here Iʼve been, evangelizing my ass off and He wants to be friends? Man, you crucify a guy one time and you have to keep hearing about it for the next two thousand years.” Jesus remained firm in his decision. “Sure, we had a thing back in 30, but I think we can all agree it wasnʼt exactly a healthy relationship—what with all the bickering and the sentencing Me to a gruesome, public execution and whatnot. And donʼt try and tell Me it was the Romansʼ idea; dammit, weʼve been through this.” Leaders of Jews for Jesus were outraged at SEE “JEWS” FOR JESUS, PAGE 6 October 2004 INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Livestrong Bracelet Used to Hold Three Packs of Newports Together CBS Unable to Verify Authenticity of Anchor Woman’s Tits Grandpa Lets Racial Slur Slip in Front of Biracial Grandchildren Contortionist Sex Scandal Unfolds Nelly Immediately Follows Up Albums “Sweat,” “Suit” With Albums “I’m,” “Sorry” Icebreaker Surprisingly Successful; Orgy Erupts in Anthropology Discussion Challah Back! 2 More Storms Threaten to Ass-Rape Florida Mother Nature, God Hope to Keep Floridians out of Presidential Election MIAMI, FL- After whole country got suffering through Hurscrewed with ricanes Charley, FranPresident Monkeyces, and Ivan, residents Face for the of Florida and neighbornext four years. ing states are wonderInstead of waiting ing whether or not the to see how they hectic 2004 Hurricane can fuck up this season will offer more time, Iʼd rather than a two week respite. sink the whole This weekend, the Goddamned state, National Weather Serpun intended.

National News IN THE NEWS: Interest Rates Increase, Number of People Who Know What that Means Decreases WASHINGTON D.C.—In recent months, the Federal Reserve has been increasing interest rates, despite recent studies showing fewer Americans understand what that means and how it affects their lives. “This is good right?” said one local woman. “It means the money in my savings account is worth more, doesnʼt it? I hope so, because my fiancé and I are planning on buying a house soon.” The interest rate—the rate at which banks loan each other money—does not affect everyday Americans because they rarely loan each other money, but many are unaware of this basic economic principle. Either that or theyʼve lost all their money in pyramid schemes and have little need for any foundational understanding of the capitalist economy. “I donʼt see how this concerns me at all,” said Steve Jones, CEO of Comerica. “You see, my job is to put our company name on new baseball stadiums for teams that have no reason to build new baseball stadiums.” Still, others have strong opinions on the matter. “This is terrible news,” said local man Jackson Redding. “I am totally against violence directed at women, and when I hear that interest rapes have gone up, it makes me sick.” “I donʼt think this is something people should worry about or even pay attention to,” said Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve. “Just go about your lives and spend plenty of money without regard for where itʼs going or how itʼs ending up in Halliburton accounts. Remember how I used to bitch about the deficit? Just forget all that and keep investing money that you donʼt have. Itʼs not like thereʼs any great historical event that happened under similar circumstances that would suggest we shouldnʼt.” Man Gets off Couch to Buy Livestrong Bracelet, Dime Bag RICHMOND, VA—Yesterday afternoon, in a rare display of physical exertion involving more than a single arm, sophomore Computer Science student at the University of Virginia, Mario Trezza, got off his couch to purchase two items from fellow student Franklin Cooper: a yellow “Livestrong” bracelet and a dime bag of marijuana. “The bracelets are the cool thing to have right now,” said Trezza. “And boy do I love pot. Let me tell you, the apparent contradiction in interests is even more difficult to reconcile when youʼre stoned off your ass.” Cooper also pondered over the potentially complicated situation. “Hands!” he said. He then proceeded to giggle for five straight minutes. Cooper and Trezza are not the only University students to buy “Livestrong” bracelets in recent weeks, nor are they the only ones who seem to have misunderstood the intention of the bracelet. “Some girl at a party told me she liked my bracelet,” said Gary Wilkinson, a junior CDB major. “Then we had three straight hours of unprotected anal sex. Thanks, Livestrong! Oh, and thank you also, Dynalube.” “I wear mine while installing asbestos in orphanages!” said Jonathan Sofen, a senior Economics major. “Thanks, Livestrong!” THE EVERY THREE WEEKLY GUIDE TO ORPHAN RAPING: Surely, you’re not seriously reading how to rape orphans.

We go to class, study, and on Wednesdays we go shopping and eat buttered scones with tea—Iʼm looking at you, Martha Cook. Yes, at night we dress up like lumberjacks, cut down trees, and ride each otherʼs lumber until we canʼt ride anymore, but I hardly see how thatʼs unusual in this day and age. Timber, baby, timber.” The MGLA was established in 2001 after the U.S. census revealed that Michigan had the largest gay lumberjack population in the world, a statistic that has been largely neglected by the mainstream media. Since then, there has been a statewide push for gay lumberjack awareness. “We have to embrace the people of our wonderful state,” said Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm, “Up north it gets cold in the winter, and I think it is completely reasonable to see how, after a long day of chopping wood and demonstrating oneʼs physical prowess, in a community full of only men, deep in the woods, one thing might lead to another. Plus, how better to practice for the traditional greased-pole climbing competitions, eh?” The MGLA has many special events planned for the upcoming months, including Love and Lumber in the Arb, and Paul Bunyan Day (“All the Blue Balls, None of the Babes”). The mass meeting will be next Thursday at 7 p.m. at the Michigan Union. All interested students are asked to wear tight flannel, bring an ax, and prepare for some heavy lifting. Even Professor Not Listening to Self Early Tuesday morning, English professor D. Ralph Stuart presented a lesson so mind-numbingly boring that even he failed to pay attention to most of it. “I stopped listening to myself about ten minutes in and never looked back,” said Stuart. “Which is a shame, because Iʼm pretty sure I mentioned that hilarious time during my doctoral dissertation when I modified a verb with an adjective.” The lesson, which consisted of Stuart reading aloud a 50page handout on the history of punctuation, bored the ten students who showed up to class, many of whom later cited a failure to look at their syllabi as a major contributor to their decision to attend class. Among Stuartʼs colleagues, however, the lesson soon gained legendary status. “We sort of have an ongoing pool,” said fellow English professor Sara Blair. “Over the years, weʼve come up with some really boring stuff—Mack [Smith] once analyzed an entire epic Old English poem aloud in front of a lecture hall, [Ralph] Williams gave a lecture using only his freakish hands and the word ʻyeanay,ʼ and John [Whittier-Ferguson] once pretended he was mute for an entire semester. But this is one of the all-time greats.” Others praised specific elements of the lesson. “Itʼs actually quite elegant and brilliant,” said professor and critic Jonathan Freedman. “The structure is actually more interesting than the lesson, ironically. He even inserted parenthetical remarks about parentheses!” The lesson also contained a brief debate on the necessity of a comma before the final item in a list, a history of two rival punctuation gangs known as the ʻColonsʼ and the ʻDashesʼ and a poem written entirely in punctuation. “Yeah, he stole that from David Foster Wallace,” said fellow English professor Keith Taylor. “But itʼs still pretty fucking awesome.” However, not all of Stuartʼs colleagues were convinced. “Look at his notes,” said Professor Jennifer Wenzel. “He wrote verbal pauses into his notes to make his lesson more boring. In all my years of fraudulent lessons, Iʼve never seen anything so against the spirit of this competition.” “Itʼs physically impossible to conjure up that many ʻuhʼs, ʻlikeʼs, and ʻrightʼs without help,” said Stuart. “No one is that boring.” Letters, Contest 4 Letters to the Editor From: Chaim Schramm <scharch@umich. edu> Subject: Letters to the Editors To whom it may concern: I am a bit confused by a line in your recent article about Michael Phelps.

I know I didn’t call, but I was a little embarrassed about the whole situation and I just acted like a child. For that I’m sorry. It was immature of me not to call and see if you wanted to go out again after that night I peed on you. By the by, sorry about the urine, too. It’s just, you know, I drank a fuckload of beer and the bed was so warm and comfortable with both of us in it. Coincidentally, I’m also sorry that my hallmates have spent the last three years addressing you publicly, with impressive volume, as “The Girl that Matt Peed on.” I’m really trying to get them to stop. But it’s great to see you, especially great to see you when you’re not screaming at me and mopping my pee off of yourself. Oh, shoot, I think I’m blowing up. Can you hold on? Thanks. Hello?

Despite President Bushʼs rigorous training regimen, Hungry Hungry Hippos experts have labeled Kerry the early favorite, counting on him to be well versed in the quick up-and-down hand motions needed to excel at the game thanks to his nineyear marriage to the legendarily unattractive Teresa Heinz Kerry. “JEWS” FOR JESUS The Sims to Release Next Installment in War on Human Contact “The Sims: Healthy Social Interaction” Anticipated by Shut-ins Everywhere LOS ANGELES, CA—The creator of “The Sims” computer games and savior of social rejects everywhere, Will Wright, has announced the release date of the newest spin-off: “The Sims: Healthy Social Interaction.” Wright believes the new game, which will finally rid every last human of the unpleasantness of direct sunlight, will fill a gap left by the first three or four hundred versions of “The Sims.” “It is simply unacceptable that, in this day and age, a man cannot go more than two weeks without having to interact with another, filthy human being,” said Wright during an interview conducted with his Sims persona, a handsome man with chiseled features, a full head of hair, and six, elaborately decorated mansions. “Whatʼs worse, some of them are even forced to interact with actual women. I, thankfully, have never had such a horrific experience, though my sources tell me they have ten arms and can shoot lasers out of their eyeballs.” Wright was enthusiastic about his most recent creation, which will allow players to engage in simulated versions of common interactions they might experience in their daily life, if their daily life included leaving their parentsʼ basement. “Now you can buy gasoline, get a cup of coffee, or remain awkwardly silent on a long elevator ride without the annoyance of speaking aloud or feeling the warm touch of another living, breathing being.

Navarre Granted 6th Year of Eligibility Students Rejoice at Storied QB’s Reinstatement The struggling Michigan football team received good news Friday, when former Michigan quarterback and loveable scapegoat John Navarre was cleared by the NCAA for a sixth year of college eligibility. The Wolverine legendʼs return is expected to propel Michigan back into the national title hunt. “Iʼm looking forward tremendously to getting John back on the field,” said coach Lloyd Carr. “His tremendous laser-like accuracy and catlike reflexes give us a tremendous amount of options behind our o-lineʼs tremendous asses.” Students around the Ann Arbor campus are also welcoming back Navarre. “John Navarre is the greatest QB in Michigan history,” proclaimed LS&A junior Daniel Baldwin. “Iʼve always been a huge Navarre fan. Other people blamed him for all our teamʼs problems, but I saw through all that. Even when I was sitting in front of the television screaming, ʻFuck you Navarre, youʼre the worst fucking quarterback, nay, human being to ever walk this campus. If you canʼt throw worth a damn, at least try run“John Navarr-rre, play fooowoot-ball?” ning faster than an asthmatic duck.ʼ I still considered him an amazing athlete.” Under true freshman Chad Henneʼs leadership, the Wolverines struggled their way to a 3-1 record, losing to “Sure, I used to drop Navarreʼs passes, and we didnʼt Notre Dame and barely surviving against San Diego State. always click on the field,” said Edwards. “But thereʼs a “Having Navarre back should help our offense move the familiarity to that failure thatʼs lacking with Henne.

Do you follow me, class? Yea, nay?” Not everyone on campus, however, is welcoming the news of Navarreʼs reinstatement. With the Wisconsin-native back in town, Michigan basketball center Graham Brown will lose his title of “Most Neanderthal-esque Wolverine Athlete”. Brown issued the following statement: “Me angry. Smash.” Another athlete who stands to lose from Navarreʼs return is Henne, who had been running the team “not very tremendously,” according to an anonymous team source. However, the freshman remained optimistic in light of the news. “I feel that Navarre has a lot to teach me,” said Henne. “How to run an offense, how not to shit myself during games, how to get cheerleaders into bed, the usual. Maybe some ass-slapping, too, I donʼt know.” The NCAAʼs decision came as a shock to Navarre, who did not apply for reinstatement and has been playing professional football for the Arizona Cardinals. “It was a bit of a surprise at first,” said Navarre, “but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. I worked hard to ensure my legacy on Michiganʼs football team, putting in long hours at practice and longer hours on my knees in the offensive coordinatorʼs booth.” In other NCAA news, Colorado wide receiver Jeremy Bloom was shot twice in the back of the head for his request to continue playing college football after receiving a skiing endorsement. that’s a spicy meat-a-ball!
