indie pop working group Haras Rod Rash B.S. Abounds After an uncommonly quiet semester for the SA hallway, the Listserv has found that Council has been prorogued all year. It took a while, however, as the Listserv does not really pay much attention to SA goings on. Councilors, as a whole, say they don’t really care. When questioned by the Listserv as to why they have not made efforts to return to the council table, Councilor Egeau got angry and ambiguous. “Excuse me?” he asked. “I’ve defended council, written nasty Facebook novels and defended my own right to return home for the weekend. “All in all, it’s been a successful year.” Most councilors were adamant that they had put together many exciting events during the past year and kept students engaged.
“Honestly, I don’t think independent student media has the right to report on this kind of thing,” said Councilor Sparrow over Twitter when asked for comment. It seemed, at first, as though many councilors are just too sensitive to be able to deal with the criticism they face. Later, though, the Listserv obtained a document from a member of the SA who wished to remain unnamed, lest he or she should face the wrath of the other councilors via social media. It has been found that SA councilors have been shirking their duties due to excessive partying. Councilors are addicted to monthly ((PN)) events. While councilors are seldom seen at work throughout the week, they are featured on the vast majority of ((PN)) posters each month. “I can’t stop wearing these skinny jeans!” Egeau lamented once caught. He then broke down in tears and declined

further comment, but got vengeance over the internet. In the interim between this interview and the last one between Egeau and the Listserv, which occurred in the summer of 2009, the councilor had managed to sprout a stache, obtain a collection of fixed gear bikes and an affinity for obscure bands the Listserv had never even heard of. Sugar Cane, president of the SA, also sprouted a moustache to fit his new lifestyle. He agreed to an interview as well, and dropped by the Listserv office for a one-on-one chat. Cane had difficulty speaking, though, and gave uncharacteristically short, monosyllabic answers. Five awkward minutes in, his moustache fell off. It had been fake all along! “I just wanted to be cool,” Cane sniffled. P.S. This story is a satire lolz. Cont. on Page 12
Wee Ferret Nonsense Contributor A shocking number of UNB Students’ Association councillors have been missing council meetings over the past several months. This mysterious phenomenon has been preventing council from meeting quorum and simultaneously halting council’s progress. Medical experts have linked the absences to severe back injuries stemming from excessive self-back patting. Dr. Wilhelm Van Waldenstein, a medical doctor specializing in overactive-egocentrics and orthopaedics, said the case of the SA is unlike any other he’s seen. Van Waldenstein has visited campus numerous times for similar injuries within council, but this year’s group has had the doctor visiting campus every Monday around 6:30 p.m. for emergency calls. “It is simply overwhelming. Never
in my life have I seen such excessive and severe back-patting. Not only are councillors giving each other firm smacks to the back, but they are inflicting them on themselves,” he said, still in horror from Monday’s meeting. “It is atrocious.” Brian Egeau, an executive member of council, has missed multiple meetings this year due to his injuries. “It is unavoidable. I think we council members do a lot and we deserve to be recognized. I can’t seem to stop. Even though we haven’t met quorum in weeks and we’ve made zero progress, I can’t help it,” he said. Back injuries sustained by council members this year include bruised spinal cords, deep tissue damage and shattered ribs. “I’m not sure how hard these people are hitting each other, but no progress is worth this much damage,” Van Waldenstein said.
