QUICKIES
BY ANIME HAIR NEWS EDITOR
NEW BRUNSWICK—Rutgers health officials announced Sunday that the health of the student body is “just fine,” and that “there’s nothing going on here, not at all.” After allegations that Ebola may have been carried into the university from an African international student, Dr. Melodee Lasky, head of Rutgers Health Services announced that “There is absolutely no way that could have happened.” Lasky then proceeded to bow over in pain at the podium "THERE'S NO EBOL-UUUUURRRGGHHHHHHHHHH" before vomiting violently on Something's rotten in Denmark, and it's not just the food this time. several Targum reporters in the front rows.

Lecture Hall Stage Rushed After Exam

COLLEGE AVE—Projector screens were torn down and TAs were trampled in Scott Hall 123 after students stormed the lecture stage following the Sunday night Organic Chemistry exam. The exuberant students “went primal” after a three-hour exam according to the police report filed. $60,000 worth of damage was caused. “I didn’t know what was happening.

ISIS Reveals Plan to Invade Texas
BY CHILLBRO BAGGINS CONTRIBUTING WRITER
AUSTIN, TEXAS—ISIS leaders have released a video hinting at an impending US offensive. According to the video, the offensive is to be aimed at Texas. “God was born in In Texas, and ISIS hates God,” said Fox News Anchor Sean Hannity last week in response to the alleged planned Texas invasion by ISIS is in the works. Texas is considered the United States’ capitol of freedom and Christianity according to the AP. Texas is also the birthplace of Willie Nelson and George Strait, both of whom ISIS assumedly considers major threats in their War on Freedom. “ISIS is that jock kid on cocaine. He is totally out of control and unpredictable. The only thing he understands is violence,” said former First Lady her eyes, nose and mouth. She Nancy Reagan in a speech urgwas wheeled off stage by CDC ing the American people to take agents in hazmat suits. a stand against the foreign evil. A notice was given shortly Mrs. Reagan also recalled the afterward by current Executive Director of Health Services Lynn Fryer. It simply read, “All GOING DOWN UNDA student health centers will be temporarily closed and sealed. Not that there’s an epidemic going around, or anything. There’s not. But don’t go in there.” University president Robert Barchi was unavailable for comment, indicating that he is still too wrapped up in the Big Ten conference.
horror of seeing the violent Youtube video. “That is why Uncle Sam needs to beat the living piss out of them to get the point across.” In ISIS’s latest video, the terrorists are wearing ten gallon hats and beheading international journalists. Many political leaders believe that this is ISIS hinting that the Texas invasion is soon-coming. “For eons now, we Texans have been battling the brown Mexicans, it is only fitting that we now have to fight these hooded Mexican-looking brown Indians, or whatever they are,” said Texas Governor Rick Perry, as tears filled his eyes. “I just love this state too much,” concluded Perry. Many Texans are bringing out their bibles and their guns to the borders in an attempt to defend their home from the ISIS invasion. Texans are “technically” being requested to remain calm, although the governor issued the statement with a rather prolonged montage of winking.

on how this would possibly help the student, Dr. Danya Dosveski, Dean of the Chemistry Department and Russian National said, “In Russia, we took twelve-hour exam, now I professor. Damn Americanskis...” Igor then trailed off on a rant in Russian. The recent change in testing is currently being brought under questioning as to whether if it really helps the students.

HOW TO GET EBOLAS??? BY: DOCTOR NADA MACURA STAFF PEDIATRICIAN
Looking for new challenges and stories to tell your grandchildren? Guess what: Ebola is trending! A new outbreak of a deadly hemorrhagic fever is spreading through West Africa and many Western countries are afraid of a pandemic. • Ebola is spread through the exchange of bodily fluid. WARNING: touching the person is not sufficient to get infected! Instead, try getting the infected person’s blood or vomit in your eyes, nose, or mouth, that should do the trick. • Hang out in big international airports such as JFK, Newark, or Philly Intl. Pay special attention to flights coming in from West Africa. Also, you are bound to encounter numerous homeless individuals with interesting life stories to tell you while you wait for your own Ebola experience. • Take a trip to Africa! Now, you have to carefully plan this as, contrary to popular belief, Ebola is not that easy to find. Your best guess is Liberia with the record of 3834 victims, while Sierra Leone and Guinea are also popular destinations for Ebola tourists. • Take an F at College Hall. What’s better than a crowd of sweaty college students breathing in your face? Extra tip: Around exam time, students are usually underfed and exhausted, thus, more likely to be carriers. • Read the Targum. • Start pretending. It’s easy: get out there and start yelling you are infected by Ebola. Very soon, people will call the authorities who will put you under quarantine – and that was your goal all along! Now you are the epicenter of media attention, and the chances of being infected are quadrupled!
Little did I know that the slices of my body on Mary’s ugly eyes would not be the end of my suffering. She started taking off her pants in bed; her thighs jiggling with many meaty layers falling onto the bed. She wore blue and white striped triangular pants with hair sticking out of the sides. She removed the thing and spread open her thighs. It was the hairiest thing I have ever seen in my little cucumber life. In the middle of the dark hairy forest lay a pink and huge piece of human flesh with a tiny toothless mouth in it. It was a hairy monster! Mary took me and inserted my head into the hairy monster. I was being eaten alive! Inside, I could feel the ribbed oral walls of the monster. It felt…weird. I was quivering in pain, yet my juices were rushing all over my body. Mary began pulling my body out of the monster, then thrusting me in again. As it went on, I started to feel pleasurable tingling sensation in my hairs. The ribs rubbing against my skin was unbelievable. Mary yelled louder and louder as she thrusted me in and out of the monster. Suddenly the oral walls got tighter and tighter; my body felt suffocated and squished; pleasure became pain. Out of nowhere, Mary yelled at the top of her lungs and the oral cavity of the monster squeezed my flesh out like toothpaste. It was painful. My flesh and seed were all inside the monster. She removed my mangled body, looked at me, and said “thank you” before throwing me into a plastic bag. It was dark… 3 quarters of my body were gone except for my head. I was in so much pain; the experience I had was too traumatizing. I soon found myself in a big graveyard of organic waste. This was the mystical place that my siblings and I talked about where we might all end up together and die. There were dead bodies of animals and vegetables everywhere; I knew that my time had come. I hoped I served my role as a cucumber in this world well. So here I make my last and final wish: I wish to reincarnate into a corgi so I can shit everywhere and be pampered by humans because of my cuteness and breed with huskies to produce Corhuskies. Well, I guess it is time now, here I am, ready to die and reincarnate to become a better organism in the next life. Thank you everybody for listening to my life story, from the garden, to the supermarket, to the fridge, to the monster and now here. I hope every one of you lives your life to the fullest no matter what you are. Fin.

Dear Concerned Student
POINT/COUNTERPOINT
Why Am I Not Getting Laid? BY STEVEN HOWELL
I remember my first hand job. It was 9th grade, I was at the skate park. This skater chick — you know the type: jet black hair, piercings, and a cool red beanie — she took me behind the half-pipe. Ever since then, I rolled with the skater crew. I got hand jobs all the time, and I even got the occasional blow job. Now that I’m in college, I’m ready to go for the big one — losing my virginity. But it’s not working. I don’t get it. My first week, I spent all my free time practicing tricks outside Records Hall and the Bishop Gate. I made sure the girls would see. Some even stopped to watch, but they all just walked away. I figured maybe girls here are more into longboarders. So I went home and got my ratty old longboard and started riding it to class. I even took it on the bus, but people just rolled their eyes. I then realized that maybe it was the board itself. So I spent the whole weekend sanding and painting it, and then I put new trucks and a fresh set of wheels. I’ve been riding it around ever since, but so far none of the girls have talked to me?
Because You Ride a Fucking Skateboard BY SKATEBOARD
Hey kid, you want to know why you’re not getting pussy? Because you are one. Stop riding a goddamn skateboard in college for Christ’s sake. You’re 19 years old. You should have passed me down to your little brother three years ago. Have some priorities man, even the dude on the Segway gets more ass than you. You need to learn some social cues man. Rutgers is a busy place. People don’t like when you smugly speed past them; you look like a major ass. And then you take me on the bus and stand me against the wall so somebody can’t get on. Even the jerkoffs who put their backpacks on the seats are rolling their eyes. Do you even know how girls work, kiddo? You have to talk to them. They Continued on A7

MOVIE REVIEW WITH THE MEDIUM, LAME
BENJAMIN BUTTON
BY RANDY BUTTERNUBS ARTS EDITOR
Hey guys! Today I’m reviewing the new Super Smash Bros for the - wait this isn’t a video game. Okay, fine. Jeez, you people got seriously pissed at me for doing one video game review. Have it your way. So this time I decided to review The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I just have to say, Benjamin Button is one of the most boring, emotionless characters I have ever seen. Well, they gave him the nickname Bella in this movie,
which I thought was weird at first, but shit, I’ll roll with. So, it looks like this movie was about how Ben or Bella or whatever had a serious boner for this androgynous-looking chick who was named Edward for some reason. You know what, points go to this movie for breaking gender stereotypes for giving the female lead a guy’s name. Anyway, Edwardina is a vampire or something and Ben wants her to blow him—I mean...suck him off—I mean... suck his blood so he can be in-

CREED NOT DEED
HARD EVIDENCE SKATEBOARD
WHY I SUCK BY ED DiCANTA BPΩ PLEDGE
PRESENTS
SIZE MATTERS
UNION ST— So my big tasked me with writing this essay. According to him, I can’t enter his lineage until I complete it. Who am I to argue? Pledges suck because we don’t yet have what it takes to a guide to notable dicks be brothers. We will not yet have what it takes to be brothers until we complete the challenges of the pledge process. According to the creed of Beta Rho Eaton Jejez Omega, the four maxims of a BRO are “manhood, A7 Editor respect, scholarship, and service.” It is the purpose of the pledge to teach us each of these ideas. For example, I haven’t demonstrated manhood until I’ve successfully serenaded a sorority in my underwear. We show respect by finishing any bottle the brothers hand us. Scholarship is demonstrated by reciting the Greek alphabet while kneeling on a cinderblock. Service is demonstrated by bringing the brothers cigarettes, condoms and booze whenever they need it. Until I’ve “shown my maxims,” I’m not worthy to be a brother. Not only do pledges suck, but the Nu class is the worst pledge class of all time. According to the pledgemaster, we’re a bunch of boners and most of us will probably be dropped by Week 6. We’re a really lazy pledge class. Victor Bollo, you know, the kid who Jonah Falcon lives in the Quads, he’s late every week to lineup. And Guinness World according to the Sergeant-at-Arms, no pledge class in Record Holder Beta history has ever been late to lineup. I don’t know if I believe him. But one of our open mottos is “Truth in Brotherhood,” so I don’t think would he lie. I really hope we’re not the worst class in history. They keep saying that Fall pledges suck, and that Spring rush Jesus is always better. And if that’s really true, I’m scared Mickey Avalon of what the Xi class will look like. Say, what are you Bob Barchi going to do with this essay? You’re keeping it to yourUniversity self, right?

Average “I used to think [former quarterback Mark] San- Fuck Penn State chez was a cute little mascot out there to pump up the crowd,” he said. “Y’know, just something to make the women and children happy, like Mr. Met or the South of the Border guy.” The coach stated that he did not know what a wide receiver was, and therefore, had not tried signing any good ones since joining the Jets, barring Eric Decker. “Have you seen that guy’s eyes or his beautiful smile?” said Ryan. “How could I not get him?” Although his team’s record now sits at an abysmal 1-4, the coach said he “would not” and “does not Dr. Tossed Salad Opinions Editor expect” to change anything. “I don’t care if my team goes 1-15.

Yeah thanks guys, but that would have been great like three years ago. But now, I had plans! I wanted to go see other solar systems, not be a part of little Billy’s third grade class project. Oh please don’t make me go back to doing that fucking shit. I’m retired. You wanted me out, and you go it. It’s okay, I’m ready to move on. And you all should too.

Yeah, about as surprised as I was that only seventeen people could bring themselves to click a goddamn button!” a slightly angrier Flood exclaimed. “Especially only a few weeks removed from my other failed tweet that read ‘If this gets 100 favorites, Gary Nova won’t throw more than 4 interceptions against Penn State.’ We all know how that turned out, don’t we?”

In what has been a common theme of the senior quarterback’s career--losing important games at home--fans expected him to lose to Michigan in a heartbreaking way. “I sat out here for hours on a freezing Thursday night two years ago to watch that piece of shit blow it to Louisville when all we needed to do was win to make a BCS game,” said senior Ryan Hardaway, of a 17-20 Congo Average

PISCATAWAY— Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood took to Twitter last Friday in an attempt to “fire-up [his] team and fans” for the blackout game against The University of Michigan. Flood’s efforts were in vain. After audaciously guaranteeing a victory Saturday night pending 2,000 or more retweets, Flood’s retweet count reached a modest total of seventeen. But that did not stop Flood or his team from going out and getting the job done anyway, securing their first Big Ten win against Michigan, the winningest program in Division I college football history. “Well, I gotta admit, I was a little bummed out that the fanbase didn’t jump on the oppor-
tunity to secure our first Big Ten victory by simply clicking a button on Twitter,” a slightly bitter Kyle Flood told reporters. “But the nine favorites were a bit of a bonus. I think that juiced our guys up to go out there and get the win despite missing the bar on the retweet count.” Football fans from around the country are impressed with the resolve Rutgers showed in winning a game that Twitter all but guaranteed they would lose. No one was as surprised as Michigan’s football team, who celebrated prematurely once realizing Flood’s tweet was still in single-digit retweets nearly twenty-four hours after it hit the internet. Even Flood himself would not have guessed that his team could rally and find the courage to be victorious. "Am I a bit surprised that Continued on Page 7
