6 THINGS NOW FOUND IN THE CLEMSON GRAVEYARD Lindsay Heyman wrote this
It’s been quite some time since this May’s graduating seniors embarked on their journey here at Clemson. In their four years, they’ve seen the circle of life bring new things into the Clemson community while others are taken away. As the final graduating class to walk in Littlejohn prepare to assume their rightful places as alumni, now is the time for a little reminiscing about the way things were back in the bygone year of 2011. Here are 6 things that now rest in in the Clemson Graveyard. ePortfolio: This is one of the best changes anyone graduating could hope for. No longer do graduating seniors have to scrounge up a bullshit essay about how they’re competent in math, despite never taking a math class at Clemson. No more finding out the day of graduation whether or not you’re allowed to walk. The ePortfolio was the epitome of procrastination, and there’s not a day that goes by where the seniors aren’t ecstatic that it’s one less thing to deal with when they’re, you know, trying to get their real, adult lives in order. Clemson Crushes: Sure, technically the account still exists on Twitter, but people haven’t been able to wonder if they might actually be “Girl in Blue Shirt and Yoga Pants” since 2013. This short-lived fad has sadly become lost in obscurity. How many people actually found their secret admirers, we may never know. RIP.
mesh cubbies might not have been too jarring an experience. But, for those of you who had grown accustomed to the labyrinth of tables, the ability to have personal space was a little crazy. Too bad the cubicles did nothing to curb the dull roar of constant chitchat on the second floor. Farewell to you, old Cooper second floor. Hopefully in the afterlife you will become that which you always strove to be in life: a high school cafeteria.
a great oak gone too soon.
A second floor of Cooper without malaria nets: For any students relatively new to Clemson, walking into the second floor of the library the day they changed the layout from a sea of tables to individual
The Selfie Oak on Bowman: It was one of those trees you think would’ve withstood a hurricane, but one fateful day in 2013 it fell, forcing Clemson hipsters to take their hammocks elsewhere. As the hunt for a new tree with “roots that look perfectly outdoorsy in your Chaco-feet-selfie” continues, take a moment to remember the life of
Just as future students will never know the ePortfolio, Clemson Crushes, and the Selfie Oak on Bowman; they soon will not know the joy of walking in Death Valley’s stunted little sister, Littlejohn Coliseum. Old Clemson, you will be missed.

Under $5 Cook-Out trays: Since when did Cook-Out trays breach the $5 mark? One day a tray cost $4.73 and the next it cost a staggering $5.11. This egregious crime robbed its customers of the joy of paying for a full meal with a single five-dollar bill. Now you have to add a dime and a penny. Cook-Out’s business hasn’t dropped due to this outrageous price increase, but paying for your cheap, cheap tray doesn’t give the same warm and fuzzy feeling it used to.

APRIL 8TH, 2015 - APRIL 21ST, 2015
Littlejohn: It’s not gone yet, but it soon will be. Clemson’s class of 2015 will be the last one to walk and receive their diplomas in the Littlejohn Coliseum. It isn’t surprising that the Clemson we enrolled in isn’t the same Clemson we’re leaving, but getting to participate in one last Clemson tradition before that too changes must feel pretty good.

Classes We Wish They Offered at Clemson Dan Collins wrote this
We’ve all finished signing up for classes, unless your plan is to just show up to the first day of class next semester and hope to finagle your way in (which usually works, by the way). But, imagine living in a world where Clemson offered classes that could actually help you in real life instead of teaching you how to bullshit effectively on three hours of sleep a night. Here we’ve the listed the useful classes we wish Clemson offered. Basic Measuring 1010: Tired of eating macaroni soup because you don’t know exactly how much milk to put into your macaroni and cheese? What about eating butter-flavored everything because you don’t know the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon? What about life’s dumbest question: why are there two units of measurement with such similar names, as if someone is trying to sabotage your meals? By the time you’re done with basic measuring, you’ll be able to cook ramen and dino nuggets without burning down every dorm on campus. By the end, your cooking prowess will have improved from pathetic all the way up to mediocre. Hangover Cure 2050: This wouldn’t be a bullshit class where they teach you how to prevent hangovers by drinking water in between your drinks (which obviously no one is going to do). The whole class would be hooked up to IVs for 50 minutes to kill their hangover from the night before. Then they just lie down and take a nap. Here’s the catch, there’s no one actually enrolled in the class. It’s first come, first serve, so whichever hungover students are the most motivated get that sweet IV. We don’t know how anyone would be graded in it or even how this is really a class, but Clemson would be a better with these kinds of resources dedicated to helping students in need. Television Sparknotes 1020: With this many shows on television, and the ease of watching them on Netflix, it is impossible to keep up with Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, House of Cards, Better Call Saul, American Horror Story, Archer, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Arrow all at once. To
remedy this, Clemson should offer a class where they keep you up to date on all these shows. The professor would explain all of the pertinent stuff that happened during the previous week (with the best clips of the week thrown in). This isn’t as good as actually watching the shows, but at least you won’t feel left out of a conversation about a show everyone seems to watch but you. Earmuffs 1000: In earmuffs, learn how to use household items to block out all the unwanted sounds in your life. Hallmates having raucous sex audibly through the paper thin wall? Earmuffs. Construction inexplicably happening on every inch of campus? Earmuffs. Professor trying to teach you something? Earmuffs. With the help of earmuffs, never have to listen to anything else for the rest of your life. Simply enjoy the silent bliss of your own psychosis… with earmuffs. We know you’re tired of learning useless skills that you’ll never use in real life (like math and science), and you want to learn something important (like how to steal cable and eat macaroni). Help us get new, exciting courses by writing to the dean (or whoever makes up the courses), and telling them that you refuse to continue going to a school that refuses to teach us about the importance of earmuffs.

Six Rules Regarding Your Remaining Absences Austin Cope wrote this
By this time in the semester you’ve already spent most of your excused absences on things like being hungover, cleaning up before a parent visits, or stuck on a bad trip where you refuse to come down from the fridge until someone stabs that cat in the throat. Well good job, that’s what they’re for. For all you who still have a couple left, or those goodie-goodies who hoard them until the end, here’s a quick list on how to spend your remaining free skips. Rule 1: No More Sick Days Sure, you may not feel up to attending class in your current condition. Yes, you’re vomiting and oozing from every orifice on your body, but at this point in the semester you’ll really regret using your skips like this. Drag yourself out of bed and stick that butt to a chair—don’t even bother getting dressed or showering. You’ll look so bad you professors won’t expect you to participate. They’ll even let you take naps in class. Really they’ll just be glad you stopped vomiting. Rule 2: Sometimes Clemson Rains Like It’s Trying to Drown Everyone On those days you can just stay in and get cozy with some Netflix. Don’t even get out of bed. Binge-watch whatever Netflix show all your friends have already finished so you don’t have to feel left out anymore. Rule 3: Don’t Waste Your Skips on Rainy Days If, on the other hand, you’re a sunbather instead of a Netflixer, don’t waste your skips on rainy days. It’s starting to warm up and you want to be embracing the sun and letting its warmth burn your skin just long enough to get sexy. So head out to the pool at your apartment complex, or Lever Beach for you shameless freshmen. Rule 4: Sleep If you have any skips left for classes between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m.—really anything before noon—just sleep. But who are we kidding? There’s no way you haven’t already done this, you lazy sack of genius. Turn over and go back to solving which of the passengers on the USSR Flying Whale is trying to sabotage UFC Champion Jon Bones Jones before his fight tonight! Rule 5: Do Something with Your Skips Don’t just lounge around and eat Bagel Bites, do something memorable! Maybe steal your friend’s dad’s Ferrari and drive it around; have lunch someplace expensive like The Blue Heron and then skip out on the bill. All this before performing a rousing rendition of The Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” at a parade downtown that gets the whole crowd dancing… Or something similarly exciting, but not necessarily from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Rule 6: Ride the Lightning Go crazy. Run around in the sewers and grab people’s ankles. Drive to the Clemson dairy farm and put funny hats on the cows. Challenge the Cooper bully who steals three desks in the library and won’t share study space. He stole the desk you and Diane were using to study and you didn’t do anything. You got punked and now Diane won’t even look at you! But tackling past demons you didn’t know you would encounter and getting the girl is what skip days are all about. Now go and have fun. The day you use your sweet, sweet absences will put Max Keeble’s Big Move to shame.

5 WAYS TO MAXIMIZE THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE AMPHITHEATER Adam Richardson wrote this
Aside from Cocky’s funeral (why won’t that chicken just die?), Greek Week dance performances, and flooding it for ice-skating, it just sits there, unused. To ensure that all of Clemson’s campus is utilized for the betterment of the university, The Black Sheep has provided five ways to maximize the full potential of the Outdoor Amphitheater. Yoga: Yoga has unlimited benefits such as: increased flexibility, physical and spiritual balance, and yoga pants. But the yoga classes could benefit from a few changes to make it more accessible. Classes should be three hours long, held sunup to sundown, and offered all year. Yoga practice should be allowed to occur simultaneously with other events — no ifs or ands, but definitely butts. Yoga is crucial for Clemson’s continued growth. It promotes fitness, mindfulness, and wellness... as well as yoga pants. Tabling: Thousands of footsteps pummel the Cooper Library Bridge daily. And legs. Table legs, that is. Sororities, fraternities, and other budding philanthropists compete for our time and attention, planting themselves directly in our paths while some blast their music are so loud we can’t even escape into our iPods. They redeem themselves by letting us pet enslaved puppies. We need tabling — we just need it elsewhere. The Amphitheater is perfect. Because of all those steps, only the interested would have a look-see. What’s good about a list of 367 emails if only three people respond? Nothing. What’s good about tabling in the Amphitheater? Everything. Student Auction: A weekly auction would enliven the center of campus with anticipation, excitement, and the terrific teamwork of greed and consumerism. Think of the endless possibilities of things you could sell and buy: laptops, subleases, parking permits, fake IDs, essays, copies of exams, someone to camp out for you in the Clemson/Carolina game ticket line, Cooper’s lost and found... we don’t know… puppies? Dollars would flow, and buyer’s high would grow. Public Shaming: We’re always hearing that our generation’s morals are in decline. Public shaming is a way to make our morals... incline. There’s no worse crush to a college student’s ego than embarrassment. Punishable offenses include things like asking a question right at the end of class, asking irrelevant questions in class, and asking… really any questions in class. Examples of shaming techniques would be making the offenders read aloud a list of their last 100 Google search terms, last 100 drunk texts, and last 100 Yik Yak comments. Airing of Annoyances: Talking about things you like about school is boring, but launching into a diatribe of complaints that the school should promptly address is awesome. Like, what’s up with Cooper’s one-way exit? Or why the hell can’t we use our printing allotment for copies? People could pay a dollar a minute for the Bullshit Horn and blare their complaints until the hate leaves their hearts. We’re always being told to make our voices heard, so grab that horn and point out those turds! The Amphitheater is full of promise. Imagine the scene of a captivating yoga class in session with auction puppies scurrying away from the ear-splitting complaint horn; which can be heard for miles blasting over the repellent solicitors while offenders fumble through their lists of Google search terms. The greatness of the Amphitheater is waiting on us. With that said, the very first aired annoyance should be the need of more yoga pants... and puppies.
10.) Long John Silver’s: Let’s get straight to the point: screw this place. The parking lot is the breeding ground for stray cats that eat garbage—which is what this food is. Who the hell eats fast food fish? If you go here, sorry… but you’re a disgusting human being. 9.) KFC: Everyone knows that KFC is attached to the Long John Silver’s… or maybe you didn’t know that, since no one gives a shit about these two places. KFC usually doesn’t suck, but when it’s attached to some fish joint, you can’t trust it. 8.) Subway: It usually wouldn’t rank this low, but being in such a poor location on Tiger Boulevard makes its ranking take a hit. Being all the way at the end near Lake Hartwell, Subway cannot attract the crowd it does on College Avenue and in Hendrix. Let’s switch up the Clemson traffic pattern and make it a Five Guys instead. 7.) Sonic: Sonic comes up in conversation sometimes, but it’s always passed up for something better. It’s kind of like that one desperate booty call that you have: You don’t want to go there, but when times are really tough, you do. Sonic is more of a benchmark for directions. Example: “Yeah, I live in Campus Evolution. Just take a left behind Sonic.” 6.) McDonald’s: The top dog of all fast food joints in the entire world, McDonald’s falters in Clemson; perhaps because we’re a bit too classy to hail to the golden arches. Also, they just raised the price of the McDouble to $1.49. When you’re balling on a (pathetic) budget, those two extra dimes are enough to lure you to a different place. 5.) Wendy’s: Wendy’s is kind of like McDonald’s pricier, slightly-less-greasy sister. Why bother going to the Tiger Boulevard Wendy’s when there’s one conveniently located in Bryan Circle? At least that Wendy’s gets all the drunken freshmen celebrating their newfound independence with a few new pounds. 4.) Taco Bell: People truly have an “I hate it” or “I love it” attitude with Taco Bell. Taco Bell has the ability to draw many of us back, since they constantly update their menu. Unfortunately, no matter what they serve us, it will always go in one hole and messily out the other. 3.) Zaxby’s: Finally, we’re getting to some quality food, though it will still give you a heart attack by age 40 if you eat enough of it. The only kick is that it can be a little pricy for the college student that could barely afford a $10 case of Busch Light. Nonetheless, Zaxby’s is a solid option. 2.) Chick-fil-A: This is a beloved restaurant across the southern half of the United States and it’s gaining popularity in the North as well. They serve breakfast, have excellent service, and their restaurant is always clean and well kept. Now if they could only stay open on Sunday… 1.) Cook-Out: Open until God knows when, Cook-Out is our #1. Our friends haul our drunk asses there at 2 a.m. to get lots of food for little money. The food may not be the best quality, but their shakes are pretty kick-ass. All hail Cook-Out. Eric Weingart wrote this

THE DRINKING GAME
RECIPE FOR DISASTER
POST-LENT DISASTER
KOSHER CORN DOGS
So you gave up drinking for Lent like an idiot, eh? This week’s going to be one hell of a ride for your gut and your roommates. But tonight it’s time to take out your 40-day frustration on the place that put you in this bind to begin with. You’re going back to church to show them the mess they’ve created.
Oy vey! We’re in the midst of Passover and you’ve got a taste for corn dogs? Lucky enough, you’ve got The Black Sheep to help you out in making those bad boys kosher. They may not end up being corn dogs, but we guarantee you’ll have something in your dogs.
What You’ll Need: 30-rack of God’s greatest creation: beer, and penance for what’s about to happen. Number of Players: The father, the son, and your case of holy spirits.
What You’ll Need: Your favorite kosher food, corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, milk, salt, pepper and eggs, hot oil, tasteful imagination. Fatty Factor: It’s better than eating grandma’s matzo ball soup!
The Game Ends When: You cut the communion line and chug all the wine, burp, and yell, “ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME” then leave.
Let’s Get Baked: -Combine 1 cup corn meal, 1 cup flour, ¼ cup sugar, 4 tablespoons of baking powder and a dash of salt and pepper. -Add one cup milk and an egg to the above mix. You now have your batter. - Take your favorite foods (mine is pizza, so we’ll go with that) and prepare them as usual. - Once your pizza sauce and cheese are warmed up, mix them together. - Dip your pizza in the batter. -Place it in hot oil for about 3 minutes. - Let it cool down and eat away, guilt free (imagine that what you just made is not a pizza roll, but a corn dog instead.)
