Quote of the Week

The Ramdiculous Accords: A True Story By Top Editor and Minion

Today we write to our

fellow Ramdiculites about

the great meeting that was

held at the UC tower on

February 25, 2011 at 2:30

pm. It involved several

keynote speakers, includ-

ing the infamous top edi-

tor Bryce J. Parsons, his

minion Keith Greer-May,

and an Asian gentleman

who was asleep on the

couch behind them.

We took the liberty of

taking the minutes of this

great Ramdiculous sum-

mit, pondering what

could possibly become of

our beloved paper in the

semesters to come. Here

is a recap for those of you

who missed it:

2:20 pm: President Par-

sons arrives at the UC. He

walks up expecting a

trumpeting fanfare. He is

sorely mistaken.

2:27 pm: Keith Greer-

May arrives after mov-

ing his car from 15

minute parking to visi-

tor parking.

2:28 pm: Greer-May

speculates that no one

will be attending the

Ramdiculous meeting.

Parsons scoffs.

2:29 pm: What is

thought to be a possible

attendee of the meeting

was deemed to be a

sleeping Asian gentle-

man.

2:31 pm: A couple on

a couch next to sleep-

ing Asian gentleman

leave.

2:33 pm: Greer-May

suggests that he and

Parsons play a game of

air hockey. Parsons

rolls his eyes and be-

gins his keynote

speech.

2:38 pm: Having

failed to reach a quorum,

it is agreed that the sum-

mit shall be moved to the

air hockey table. With a

unanimous vote, a game

of air hockey is played.

2:58 pm: Greer-May is

the victor by a score of

10-3. Parsons had

cheated by moving his

slider to 7, but somehow

he still loses.

3:20 pm: Parsons gets

out his Duncan Butterfly

and casually yo-yos for a

little bit. A passerby asks

if she can write about his

yo-yoing for the Ram Page.

2:30 am: Some fresh-

men show up to the UC

tower wondering where

the Ramdiculous guys

are.

Well, that’s about it,

folks. See you all same

time next week (if we

still exist)!

the incredible question

Ram of the Week: Jordan Hawkins Meet Jordan. She says she works in IT, which is true. In fact, I’m pretty

sure that she has also invented a working teleportation device, which will revolutionize the travel and shipping industries.

I mean, think about it. With a series of teleporters, humanity would save

so much money on shipping, and we could more readily get supplies to third world countries, saving the lives of countless impoverished children. The human race would usher in an era of peace and prosperity, and Jordan Hawkins would be hailed as our generation’s ultimate heroine. She would receive Nobel Prizes, and would have a statue in the town square. Would-n’t that be awesome?

Also, she loves children, and is in school to become a daycare teacher.

She’s ready for the future, this one!

Reagan supporters really like Reagan

Many of ASU’s College Re-

p u b l i c a n s ,

despite the

fetal status of

their major-

ity during

the Reagan

administra-

tion, com-

memorated

the 100th

birthday of

the late

p r e s i d e n t

last Febru-

ary.

Of course,

the young

Republicans weren’t about to

let something as trivial as a

total lack of memory get in the

way of their elevating the late

president to messiah-like

status.

“The way he told that Ger-

man guy to

tear down

that wall, or

w h a t e v e r , ”

f r e s h m a n

K a i t l y n n

Broadmoore

said. “I mean,

talk about

guts, you

know?”

Many other

young women

of the group

unabashedly

credited their

conservative

parents’ admiration for the

president for naming them

Reagan or some other fem-

inized version of the name like

Reighgann or Rheagynn.

When asked about thoughts

on the Administration’s strat-

egy in facilitating the sale of

arms to Iran in the mid-80s,

most present responded with

blank faces, though one young

man asked if it had anything

to do with the end of the Coke

Wars.

Ronald Reagan (dramatization)

By Rachel Weinstock T R U T H O R C O N S E -

QUENCES, NM—After being

goaded into an argument yester-

day, you learned that your girl-

friend of six months has been

annoyed by you for the past

five.

Her chief complaints ranged

from the understandable ("You

never listen to me") to the ri-

diculous ("Who the f*** parts

their hair that way?").

She later reportedly rehashed

the entire conversation with her

best friend, Brie, adding that

you're an immature tool and

that her mother "was always

right about [you]."

Adults Playing With ’90s Action Figures

Ay yi yi! Supervillains are

attacking the city, as usual.

I’d probably better call some

superheroes or something.

The Mask! Bug-Man!

Thank goodness!

My name’s not ‘Bug-Man.’

So why did you summon us?

Supervillains, duh.

Hey, dudes. Sorry I’m late.

Well! Aren’t you just an

adorable little thing!

Oh HELL no.
