News in Briefs Fisko takes Turkey Drive too literally • Lewkowitz mortgages the Innovation Commons while shopping for Cyber Monday deals
By Cooper Dinowitz ’17 ON YOUR LEFT: You will see the speed camera photo taken of one of the turkeys driving on Camelback.
• Absurd amount of students out sick with “Fallout Fever” after release of Fallout 4 • Fisko’s Boyz II Men 4 Others astounds audience at FAE • In order to catch up with the seasons, Mr. Kelly paints Brophy’s leaves brown and red • Rumors emerge: Mr. Lewkowitz 3D-prints entire Thanksgiving meal • Waffles replaces Snoopy in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade • Brophy students buy new Thanksgiving meals from Michael’s with Freedom Pay cards • Mothers working in Varsity Shop trampled by freshmen buying the all new exclusive Brophy toaster • Freshmen performing at FAE interrupted by Kanye West during performance
Every year around this time, Brophy students generously donate to the Turkey Drive. Run by Mr. Paul Fisko and the OFJ, the Turkey Drive is a great way to raise money for a good cause during the holidays. This year, however, rumors emerged that Fisko’s beloved Turkey Drive may be shifting its charitable focus. Fisko announced earlier this week that the Turkey Drive will be donating money to give out driver’s licenses to actual wild turkeys. “When I first saw the words turkey and drive together, a lightbulb just went off in my brain,” says Fisko. “Turkeys shouldn’t have
to waddle around from place to place, and it is our duty as men for others to get their feathery bodies behind a steering wheel!” As funds are streaming in from sixth period classrooms, the OFJ is becoming stuffed with eager turkeys dreaming of cruising down Camelback at top speeds of 15 miles per hour. One eager fowl, Mr. Turk Keye, had this to say about the process: “Gobble gobble gobble! Gobble go.....bble. Gobble gobble?”. Some Brophy faculty members and students, however, are outraged with the idea of wasting
money on supporting Fisko’s pro-turkey scheme. “We already have the Aux, POP, North, and South lots. What’s next, the Turkey lot?” says Mr. Patrick Higgins. “What about giving licenses to chickens!?” says freshman Cluck Gobbleson. The issue of turkey transportation has long been up in the air, but hopefully through his diligent efforts, Mr. Fisko has solved that problem once and for all with the new and improved Turkey Drive. The only remaining question is this: what will Mr. Fisko do for the Elf Drive?

“It all started five years ago. We were unprepared, underpaid, and overdressed,” recalls ex-Brophy Men’s Choir student. “We had to go on and perform in one hour, and we just weren’t ready… I’m sorry, can we take a break?”
podcast “The Brophy Lasso” (now available on iTunes). Members of the podcast attempted to have Mr. Olson defend his case during their latest addition.
These were the last words we ever heard from this alum since he exposed the hidden truth after all these years. According to a covert resource, Brophy Choir lip syncs.
Mr. Papa Olson has since tried his best to lay low, though his influence ON YOUR ANTI-LEFT: is estimated to have spread. There Anti-Lipgate propaganda are dozens of incidents tied to this produced by anti-Olson “conspiracy,” stretching all the way anti-enemies. from California to right here in Central Phoenix. Studies estimate five and a half out of every fifteen Broncos have been affected by Lipgate.
Sources appear to trace Lipgate all the way back to 2003, when Papa Olson first came to the Brophy scene. Concrete evidence has yet to surface, though suspicion and speculation should be at an all time high as the semester reaches towards the annual Winter Choir Concert. Concert-goers are predicted to be on high alert as recent allegations reached the locally renowned and highly informative

Mr. B. thwarts undergound turkey smuggling during FAE
Mr. McShane’s extreme Thanksgiving By Gray Olson ‘17
By Nikolas Kirk ’19 As said by Dean Higgins, “the mighty Mr. B. has once again proven his affinity for justice.” In a recent series of events, Mr. B. put an end to Mr. McShane’s unnoticed Thanksgiving plots: an underground turkey trading ring and a conspiracy to crash the Fine Arts Extravaganza. “He’s the perfect inside man,” said Mr. B. “He teaches at Brophy, he moderates clubs, and he sings for the Turkey Drive, all top-notch disguises to pull this kind of thing off.” Mr. B. first caught on to Mr. McShane when he saw students giving him money during his performances outside the Great Hall. “It was a little fishy. The same students kept giving him large amounts of money. I had to investigate,” said Mr. B. A well-executed sting operation that involved the use of long hair, rock band T-shirts, and some knowledge of rock ‘n’ roll allowed Mr. B. to quickly realize Mr. McShane’s source of income: an underground turkey trading ring involving much of Brophy’s staff and faculty. “I saw the trading grounds. They were filthy, loud, and, for some reason, reminded me that I needed to buy a turkey
for Thanksgiving,” said Mr. B. However, hedecided against thwarting Mr. McShane right away. Instead, Mr. B. continued his sting operation to learn more about Mr. McShane’s operations. After several JUGs from Dean Higgins for not following dress code, Mr. B. finally got into Mr. McShane’s tight-knit ring of student officers. That’s when he learned of the FAE conspiracy. McShane’s plans to crash the FAE were deeply entwined with his involvement in Musician’s Exchange, which was scheduled to perform that night. He hoped to take over the stage and rock out with his own rock band. The students were a means to accomplishing his dream. I wasn’t shocked when I found out. He had already proven to me he was an opportunistic ring leader. However, I knew I needed to stop his plans,” said Mr. McShane in his own defense. “Plus, that turkey ring getting me money to produce my ‘Thanksgiving’s Greatest Hits’ album.” Mr. McShane will be tried for his actions. “The jury will consist of Brophy faculty who didn’t participate in the turkey ring, and the judge will be none other than Waffles, said the court reporter.” Regardless of the result, this story goes to prove Mr. B.’s wit and persistence when it comes to justice.
The Wrangler’s favorite protein-packed holiday dinner recipes By Ben Schneider ‘17 As the month of November passes us for another year, we once again reminisce of devouring mass amounts of potatoes, stuffing, bread, sauces, and turkey until reaching a tryptophan-induced coma on a holiday we like to call Thanksgiving.
