Angelo State ' s F ines t Paper Since Fall 2006

Suspicious Activities... Anger. Rage. Ire. Wrath. Hatred. Mur-

der. All of these words have been used

to describe the atrocity that is now

gripping the campus. Only now are the

details of what is being called the most

persnickety and ridiculous act of ran-

dom violence being uncovered. It all

happened, by all accounts, on a dark,

stormy night last month. Nobody

knows how or why this random act of

violence and hatred was committed,

but according to recent information

and one eye witness account, the scene

was a bloody, hideous mess of anger

and resentfulness. This action took

place on the campus, just after 3 a.m.,

on August 20, 2008, in the C wing of

Texan Hall. Our sources indicate that

the incident was the result of what was

termed, “obnoxious, loud, ridiculous

behavior” and had been a long time

coming. The sole witness to this hei-

nous event has been removed from the

area and their name has been changed

to protect their identity for fear of

retaliation. However, our cracked out

team of reporters has managed to track

down this person and now has more

information which we shall now pass

on to you, the public. According to our

source, the victim was a resident of the

Texan Hall dorms and resided in room

C227 who liked to listen to loud heavy

metal music and play Dance Dance

Revolution at obscure hours of the

night. This constant stream of obnox-

iousness seemingly points to agitating

the victim’s neighbors, both immediate

and on the lower floor. The witness

reported that he (or maybe she) be-

lieves that this was the catalyst for the

onslaught of violence and irritability

that soon ripped through the dormi-

tory. The fateful night, as stated, was

August 20, a time in which many

people were moving in and about the

campus, yet no one save our protected

witness was around to provide informa-

tion about the attack. At around 3 a.m.

the attacker began banging on the

ceiling of his C127 dorm room to

silence the upstairs victim who was

dancing around and playing Ramm-

stein very loudly. Soon after, the music

was turned up in an attempt to silence

the angry person below. After a few

more minutes, the attacker was fed up

with the music and loud thuds coming

from above and left his room to con-

front the victim. On the way up the

staircase, the attacker broke off a piece

of the handrail and continued his

arrival, the attacker banged loudly on

the door to room C227 and was heard

by our witness yelling for the occupant

to come outside and stop playing his

music. The witness also reported seeing

the attacker wielding the broken piece

of metal and swinging it wildly about

the area. Once the door to the room

opened, the attacker forced his way

Weekly Rant

Rambelle of the Week

Kailey is currently a sophomore

here at ASU. She is the kind of

girl that likes to hang out by the

lake and get her chill on. She

has red-ish hair, and stands at

an astute 5'4” tall. She is known

to have a great personality, as

well as overwhelmingly charming looks. Flowers are

pretty much her favorite thing, and, along with

that, she loves to help people who are in need. She

hates meatballs, but loves spaghetti. All in all,

Kailey Elaine Roberts is a swell gal!

The implications of blood

glucose levels on dancing have

become somewhat extreme. You

see, I was out at a local dancing

establishment and I had had a

candy bar about 30 minutes

prior to danceage, I ingested

approximately 454 grams of good

old high quality high fructose

corn syrup. That's right, I drank

one pound of very thick liquid

sugar. Why, you ask? I had to

prove to everyone at ASU that I

am a man, and only a man can

drink one pound (454 grams) of

high fructose corn syrup and

survive. Back to my original

story. I arrived on the dance

floor to voluminous claps of

thunder, and began to dance my

face off. Kailey is an amazing

back scratcher. So, there I was,

basking in the glorious praise of

all my adoring dancing fans,

when all of a sudden, the glucose

hit my bloodstream like a

rhinoceros on steroids and epi-

nephrine. All of a sudden my

sexy moves were multiplied by

the force of 10,000 ravaged

mongols. THAT'S A LOT OF

MONGOLS!!!! In fact, my moves

became so sexily fast, that I

began to make all the drunk

people dizzy, and they began

having seizures. This was a sight

to behold! One by one, of age

and under age people began fal-

l ing down and s haking

uncontrollably. I almost called a

code 99. Now this is my conclu-

sion: that, if taken in large

quantities, high fructose corn

syrup (in its purest form) can be

the source of unimaginable fun,

and also, unimaginable disaster.

So lay off the high fructose corn

syrup when you go dancing. It

may be other people's last night.

LOL.

I love you,

George Ferguson

Thoughts To Ponder

• How come they don't add the time that we are in our

mom's to our age?

• Why does triangularly cut bread taste better than

square bread?

• Why is Joey short for Joe, when Joey has more letters?

You Know What

Grinds My Gears...

Sandwich prices. Who

the hell decided it

should cost $7.50 for

the simplest lunch item

on the menu. Blimpie,

Subway, and Quiznos

all charge ridiculous

prices for what? Bread,

meat, mayo, and

cheese! You could make

your own sandwich for

like $3. While talking

about food prices I

want to commend Taco

Bell. If it wasn't for

them hundreds of

people would starve to

death. For $3 you get a

full meal! That's a deal.

So screw $6 to $10

sandwiches everywhere

else just go eat tacos.

Glen Meadows Baptist Church

A Note From Your SGA President Hey everyone this is Seth Chomout using my powers to talk to everyone out

there who reads our paper as the President of the Student Government! Ok, now

time to be the President. (Breathes in and out.) Hello once again ASU campus.

This past Monday the SGA had its first meeting of the semester. We appointed a

lot of new Senators, so congrats to them, as well as other positions, and congrats

to them as well. The main issue of discussion at

Monday’s meeting was, other than appointments

and swearing, I mean swearing ins, what is expected

of the Senators and members of the SGA. Many new

policies went into effect for the SGA in order to

make it run better and more efficient, so you and

the campus of ASU get more out of us. We look

forward to providing new changes and we want

input from all. So please use the suggestion box in

the U.C. but please remember your name and e-mail

so we can get back to you about your concern. Also,

you are welcome to come to the SGA meeting which

are held every Monday night at 6:00 in the U.C.

Room 203, Nasworthy Suites. Looks like I am out of

space so make sure to read next week’s issue for

more happenings here at ASU.

Where do we go when news is a must?

Whose words give all our spirits thrust?

Stephen Colbert, in whom we trust!

Who’s way too good to ride the bus?

Stephen Colbert, in whom we trust!

Who could kick Jon Stewart’s butt?

Stephen Colbert, in whom we trust!

Who is the object of Seth Chomout’s lust?

Stephen Colbert, in whom we trust!

Who likes to eat pizza crust?

Stephen Colbert, in whom we trust!

So let’s all pause, to recall

Just what he has meant to us all

Dwell on his words, and we will see

Stephen Colbert will set us free

Popcorn and movies go hand in

hand, it’s just something that we

know and enjoy. Yet, is it really good

practice to enjoy something that is so

terribly bad for our bodies in public,

in front of other people? Effectively

flaunting our blatant gluttony and

financial superiority? Of course it is!

But what happens if you are a reli-

gious person and the food stewards

offer you up some fluffy, gooey,

buttered-up, salty goodness? Dare you

partake or should you simply ignore

these wolves in lambs clothing and

preserve your religious beliefs and

moral integrity? Well, according to

the Church of the Almighty God the

Indifferent, popcorn is a sin and sin

is evil. Therefore, popcorn is evil and

should be avoided at all costs. The

logic is right there, in black and

white, you just read it. Aside from

that, those within the religious game

say that anything that can be either

sweet OR salty depending on the

manner in which it is prepared is

simply an abomination; they liken it

to a pre-op transsexual person who is

both male and female. Sure, sweet

things are good, and salty things are

good, too, but for something to be

both is simply un-Godly. You are not

supposed to have your cake and eat it

too! ESPECIALLY if that cake is

made with sugar AND salt! But this is

not the only problem with popcorn.

The other major complaint being

lodged with popcorn as it pertains to

religion is that you just have to eat so

much of it, thus making you a big, fat

fatty glutton. “Everything in

moderation,” says the church, “except

for religion. Religion must be

extremely and overzealously present

and the forefront of all you thoughts,

how else are you supposed to

browbeat people in to thinking

exactly as you do?” How indeed?

Clearly, there is much debate over

this ideology that popcorn is Satan in

kernel-ized form, but that will not

stop until all popcorn has been eradi-

cated. Let’s face it, there are millions

of different kinds of popcorn to

battle and grapple with in this world.

There’s buttered popcorn, unbut-

tered popcorn, salted popcorn, un-

salted popcorn, buttered AND salted

popcorn, buttered unsalted popcorn,

unbuttered salted popcorn, unbut-

tered unsalted popcorn, cheese pop-

corn, caramel popcorn, kettle style

buttered popcorn, kettle style unbut-

tered popcorn, garlic popcorn, pep-

percorn popcorn, popcorn balls, chili

powdered popcorn, un-popped pop-

corn, and most deadly of all — pop-

corn shrimp. These are only the types

of popcorn that we KNOW about

and there are surely many more out

there yet to be discovered. Popcorn is

evil and we should all flee in terror

from its’ mighty, tasty rage before it is

too late.

Horoscopes Aries- I wish I wish upon a star, that

Cancer- having too many pillows on

your bed is proven to lead to child-

hood obesity.

his hand and look him in the eye while making a brisket. It's the only

way to survive.

ber how many months it has been

but you are not healthy if it hasn't

always help it on its feet and give it a

swift kick in the booty.

Greetings once again my fellow readers! It is time once more to discuss topics of lasting impor-

tance thereby increasing the technical and intellectual content of this article. Today we will

discuss exactly why a nuclear power plant is just so awesome yet at the same time rather sad.

Nuclear power was for a long time a figment of science fiction writers. It was the power source for

rockets and an energy source for robots. Nuclear power is now a part of our grand civilization,

but for some odd reason we do not have rockets capable of taking people to Venus (not that we

would want to go there – see last issue). Nor do we have atomic powered robots capable of incredible feats of strength

and awesomeness. Where are my rockets and robots? To answer this question we must first ask the following

question: How does a nuclear reactor do what it does? And more importantly how do our current reactors compare

with the science fiction reactors of yesteryear? Nuclear power branches into two distinctive areas – Fusion (few-shun)

and Fission (fishin’). Fusion is what happens in the Sun. Two atoms, hydrogen in the case of the Sun, are slammed

together with enough energy to fuse them into one single atom – helium. Fission is the opposite. A single atom, let’s

say helium, is split into two atoms – hydrogen. In both of these cases there is a release of energy when the atoms are

combined or split. On Earth we use nuclear fission. So how do those big, huge, honkin’ reactors harness the energy

from splitting atoms? The most basic way imaginable – turbines. Sorry, no great science fiction answer here. We

don’t take the energy directly from the splitting of the atoms. Instead we take the heat generated by the splitting of the

atoms and use it to boil water to make steam. This steam is then allowed to pass a turbine which turns an electric

generator. That’s it. Sad. So there go our rockets and robots, we can’t just put a nuclear reactor on the rocket, it’d

have to be a big rocket, and even then the reactor would only produce the electricity to run the ship, not lift it from

the ground. The nuclear reactors described in the golden age of science fiction not only powered the rockets, but also

gave them the thrust they needed to lift their mass off the ground. They did not need water, nor did they use steam to

produce power. But lest you think that I am not in favor of nuclear energy, let me correct that sentiment. I like

nuclear energy! Sure there are some things that could be done to make it better, but I like it anyways. So how does

fusion energy compare? Come back in 50 years and I’ll be happy to let ya know. Until then, enjoy life, and bacon.

Knowing that your electricity comes from nuclear powered steam turbines.

(January 2006, Australia) Who would risk his life for some

pocket change? A Darwin Award nominee, of course! A 35-year

-old man in Sydney lost some change down a stormwater drain.

Most sensible people would just let it go, especially as it had

been raining. In fact, all sensible people would just let it go.

But not our potential Darwin. This man removed the cover

from the sewer, laid down on the road, and stuck his head and

upper body down the drain to fish around for the coins. In

this position, his lower body was lying across the road. His

plans to recover his money went wrong when a Ford SUV

turned the corner. The driver, of course, failed to notice him.

We generally don't expect to see half a person lying on the

roadbed. The vehicle 's bumper struck the man. Our nominee

was rushed to St. Vincent's Hospital in serious condition, with

a broken pelvis and internal injuries. Had he been run over by

the tyre, instead of struck by the bumper, police say it is l ikely

he would not have survived. Loose change is not worth the

risk!

DARWIN AWARDS

inside just as the attacker was swinging at the victim and knocking him to the floor

with the metal rod. After that, the witness said the assailant raised the rod

overhead and plunged it deep into the thoracic cavity of the unconscious victim.

This motion was repeated between 30 and 60 times, splattering the victims’ blood

over the carpet, walls and ceiling of the small, intimate C227 room. The witness

ran quickly to the nearest phone booth on the corner of Ave N and Bryant to call

the police. Soon after this, the witness was removed from the scene and admitted

to Witness Protection. All new information is still being processed and the man-

hunt continues for the vicious attacker of the occupant of C227. Anyone with any

information pertaining to this attack is asked to report it to the detectives currently

pursuing the case, their office located in Texan Hall, room C226. They hope to

have this case wrapped up within the next few weeks.

Dear Sir , Madam, Ram,

Rambelle, Robot who runs things,

or Whom It May Concern:

I must admit, that I am the same

person who wrote to you last week

about the “What Grinds My

Gears” column, and that I have

yet again taken offense with this

columnists’ refusal to change the

name of his articles to reflect

something original. However, this

week I wish to address the man

(or woman) calling himself

George Ferguson. I often enjoy

his witty rants against whatever

suits his fancy for the week, but

this past week I was very

disappointed. I was appalled that

he had quit his job, especially

seeing as how most people have to

work very hard just to FIND a

job! His callousness and flippant

attitude on being unemployed is

insulting to those of us who are

unemployed and wish to have a

job. Just because he is in school

and trying to become a nurse (or

whatever) does not mean that he

should be without employment.

That’s just lazy! And I for one

refuse to pay my taxes just so a no

good, lazy so-and-so like him can

mooch off me and use welfare

and food stamps because he

doesn’t want to work! Could you

please force him to regain

employment or at the least stop

bragging that he is special because

he has no need for work. I would

greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Craig S Philip Johnston

road is, find out. It is an excellent

shortcut and known by those who

are true San Angeloans, so if

someone is trying to pass as a cool

big city kid, you’ll know the truth

by the way they get from

Community Hospital to Southern

Little League.

2) Don’t invite just one Baptist

anywhere! This applies to most of

the south, actually, but make sure

you invite more than one—you are

guaranteed to keep all your

alcohol.

3) Corner Stop has the best burritos,

per iod. Henr y’ s and L os

Panchitos are your best bets for

Mexican food… try Lowake

Steakhouse at some point.

4) There are usually state troopers

on 87 south and 67 north (by the

animal shelter).

5) If this is your first semester here,

and you are not from here, you

will notice that everyone in San

Angelo dresses like crap. That is

because when no one cares, the

people that do look weird. And

because if everyone tried to look

good, we would all shop at the

same stores and all be wearing the

same things. The sooner you

figure this out the better for your

social standing, because people

who dress up for class are usually

freshmen or social outcasts.

6) West Texas is known for a

football culture…one thinks of

marching bands, mojo, scary

adolescents, and intimidating

coaches with hick accents who

spit tobacco and curse and

scream… however… there is a

highly resistant shield for this

culture surrounding San Angelo.

Our football teams suck and

people pretend to care for the

sake of the parents of the kids

(who usually happen to be

influential in the community…

hmm… intriguing…) but most of

the community is apathetic.

7) Watch local news channels on the

weekends for a good laugh.

B-team!!!

8) If you can, study abroad.

9) Warn your friends of the famous

saying when they propose coming

t o s e e y o u f o r t h e

weekend…”Come to San Angelo

on vacation, leave on probation.”

10) It is worth getting three parking

tickets to NOT buy a decal. Stick

it to the man! (on that note, join

my fr iends Libertarians for

Freedom club. It’s amazing. There

is a group on facebook.)

Yours truly,

Pragmatic Patsy
