Halloweed: Marijuana Laced Candy

Throws Trick-Or-Treaters for a Loop BY: MEgan felz People these days have a hard time waiting. Seriously, who has six months to kill until 4/20? No one, that’s who. Luckily, University of Minnesota students found a way to celebrate without all the waiting. Hence, the lesser known of the “high” holidays: Halloweed.

At first, many were taken aback by such an absurd public event, thinking that it was some weird Baha Men tribute band, but it would eventually be revealed that it was just a result of candy laced with the ganj.

After succumbing to The night started off just like any other October 31st the full effect of the cannabis-infused candy, a butt-ton of people were seen unevening, complete with the token “guycontrollably laughing at the abandoned dressed-up-as-a-jar-of-mustard-and-abucket on the sidewalk, and whenever kid-in-a-hot-dog-costume.” Neighbors and random pedestrians walking on the the mating rituals of rhinoceros were disstreets first reported noticing something cussed (which happens more often than was awry when they saw an above-av- you would think). Additionally, instead of asking for candy, many began requesting erage number of people worshiping an empty bag of Cool Ranch Doritos while eye drops. Homeowners were not nearly as receptive to this request, barring one singing “Who Let the Dogs Out?” Some joined in, others got out their smart optometrist who doesn’t count because he thinks that parachute pants are startphones to capitalize on the premo Vine material, while others nonchalantly mo- ing to finally make a comeback.

By the end of the evening—or the very early morning—the candy had been distributed to almost the entire neighborhood. Conspiracy theories about Sun Chips and solar energy were discussed, alongside prank calls to the White House regarding President Obama’s shower. And for those little shits who take more than one piece of candy from the bowl sitting

on the porch that says “please take one,” we hope that you have learned the appropriate portion size as well. No suspects have been identified in the alleged distribution of the weed candy, but really, if anything, they were just doing everyone a favor. However, one thing is for sure: Halloween is the perfect day

to be stoned. There’s so much food that could potentially go to your hips to satisfy the dru -fueled munchies. Anyone can give out king-sized Hershey bars, but it takes a special someone, with a questionable brain-cell count, to unintentionally get a whole neighborhood of people high off their ass.

Finally Our Time: Sweater Weather Enthusiasts Rejoice in the Crisp Fall Air By: Cora Neisen

After months of heat and humidity, sweater wearers have taken to the streets in support of the one musty treasure found in their grandfather’s closet they’ll actually touch. Wool, argyle, ugly, oversized, turtlenecked, cropped, knit, and everything in between have taken the sweater scene by storm with no sign of slowing down. Authorities have even confirmed a Christmas sweater sighting on the corner of 17th and University. “Our passion for sweaters has been repressed by tank top enthusiasts for far too many months. It’s really exciting that it’s finally our time” Jim Ondstad explained. “Part of our mission is becoming as wellknown as Miley Cyrus’ foam finger. Recently, I feel that we’ve been gaining more sweater lovers in our corner. In my opinion, this kind of parallels that time when Martin Luther King Jr. kept talking about a need for change and then everyone was like, ‘yeah, he’s really got his shit figured out’.” Excitement for sweater weather began building in late August. The first relevant tweet was recorded on August 23rd at 10:02 a.m. Tweets explaining excitement about sweater weather are expected to peak right after daylight savings time festivities. Tweets have been marked with several Emojies including, but not limited to maple leaves, pumpkins, cups of tea, and constipated smiley faces. “We like to raise awareness of sweater season, and Twitter is often a perfect platform to do so,” Willow Leyman, the president of Sweater Weather Enthusiasts (SWE) explained. “If I don’t report up to 140 characters of pure enthusiasm people will lose focus on what fall is actually about—sweaters.” Prior to “sweater weather,” a season otherwise known as “that bitch summer,” experts were unsure if this sweater season would compete with that of last season. However, as Twitter and a random call-in

psychic from Woodbury have predicted, this sweater season may be one of the biggest ever recorded. The number of sweater wearers has continually increaed alongside the number of registered hipsters. In fact, many sweater proponents also identify with the National Coalition for Hipsters (NCH). When surveyed, 86% of sweater proponents felt that the NCH was on board with their highlycoveted sweater agenda. An anonymous hipster, who doesn’t succumb to labels like their birth name, was quoted saying, “I like to go to thrift stores and find those swanky sweaters from the 90s. Sometimes I even look for stuff from the Middle Ages, chainmail doesn’t get enough cred as sweater material. I feel that these fuel my love for vintage knitting patterns, jousting, and eating rice noodles in my apartment without pants. I usually couple my sweaters with a hand-made bracelet that I bought out of the back of some guy’s van.” However, it’s not just hipsters who identify with sweater weather. White girls all over the country have been looking forward to sweater weather ever since it got too cold to guzzle Straw-berritas on a nude beach. When interviewed, 82% of white girls said they were excited for fall because of both sweater weather and pumpkin spice lattes. The number of pumpkin spice lattes sold has been proven to directly correlate with the number of Ugg boots, black leggings, and sweater ensembles sighted. Whether it’s a white girl, funky art student, or die-hard hipster sporting the sweater, sweater enthusiasts will be as plentiful as the UMPD behind McDonalds. Experts encourage all those sweater proponents to take advantage of this wonderful time filled with leaves, and warm beverages, and other fall things, you get the picture.

Ways to Succumb to Your Crippling College Debt By: black sheep staff

Halloween

in Dinkytown The Pinnacle of People Watching By: Alexandra Adams Dinkytown is generally full of scantily clad, exceedingly loud, occasionally drunken youth. But no night is as fun to watch as Halloween in Dinky. Here at The Black Sheep, we pulled some blankets, lawn chairs, and Irish Coffees out onto a 4th street lawn to watch things unfold. And boy, did they ever. 7:45 p.m.: Let the games begin! People are currently headed to parties because on Halloween, pregaming is in full swing from sunup to sundown. UMN kids don’t fuck around. Already we’ve observed a large gaggle of gals dressed as The Spice Girls (so obviously, freshmen) stop a group of boys dressed as One Direction (so obviously, gay) for a little Instagram moment! It was actually kind of adorable until Baby Spice threw up something bubble gum flavored all over Harry Styles. 7:46 p.m.: We almost feel bad about that vomit incident… After all, both Baby and Harry are now crying. 8:15 p.m.: It’s a little chilly out here, so we’re downing the hot beverage equivalent of Mardi Gras. Unfortunately, many of the girls we see are either too drunk or too dumb (or a combination of the two) to wear tights. The boys aren’t doing any better, as we’ve spotted at least four dudes in Speedos. Never have we seen so many erect nipples. 8:34 p.m.: A slutty nurse is already so drunk she must be given a piggyback ride by her slightly huskier, far more sober friend, slutty cop. 8:35 p.m.: Uh oh. Both slutty nurse and slutty cop have fallen on the ground. We consider helping them, but two dudes sharing a cow costume are already scooping them away to “safety.” 9 p.m.: The same cop car has been driving around our block for an hour for the minimally important purpose of “so that no one dies.” They’ve passed us so many times that we now feel obligated to smile and wave at the boys in blue. We were considering

offering some coffee, but with the copious amount of alcohol in it, we decided otherwise. 9:40 p.m.: Well now things are hopping! And no, we are not talking about those two sorority girls in lingerie and rabbit ears. Wait, did they steal that from the set of Legally Blonde? Maybe their daddies bought it for them fair and square? Regardless, the neighborhood is lighting up with party music and residual strobe flashes. 10:39 p.m.: The last hour has contained more intoxicated yells than any hour of our collective lives. Including the one of us who has seen Girl Talk. Twice. 11:55 p.m.: It’s the time of night when everyone is shuffling about to different residences. Once you know what everyone in the room is dressed as, it’s probably time to jump ship, anyway. OH MY GOD. Two dudes dressed as Rock’em Sock’em Robots just got in a real fight 20 feet away! 11:58 p.m.: Can’t help but feel betrayed when no one’s head pops off. 12:46 a.m.: You may wonder why we haven’t retreated into the warm confines of literally anywhere but this lawn and it’s because, dear reader, we know this game is far from over. In just a few short minutes, every drunk person in a two mile radius is going to run (okay, wobble) like cattle to Dinkytown’s late night food scene. 1:15 a.m.: And here they come. Hordes of the drunken undead are en route to fast food nation. We’re thanking baby Jesus that we aren’t in DrunkDonald’s right now. 2-something a.m.: Everyone is scuttling back home. But we’re pretty sure some people don’t even know where home is anymore. And… someone just vomited on our lawn. Twice. With that, we are calling it a night. This is one evening that you can’t unsee, bro.

Most of us have to face this reality: we’re going to be paying for our college debt for the rest of our lives. It’s cool, everybody does it. Nothing to be alarmed about. But you should go into this knowing that, once you pick a school, you’re just another cash cow in the herd. Perhaps it’s best to just give in and never have to worry about paying those bills. At least, that’s what we think, and so we’ve made this list for you. It’s a list that teaches you how to truly succumb to your college debt, giving you the ability to owe them money forever. 10.) Find a Nice Corner to Cry in: You’re gonna want a good, 90 degree corner if you can get it; a clean right angle. Optimal weeping location. While you bawl, it would be even better if you could surround yourself with useless college memorabilia, i.e. the ridiculous $25 hat you wore to, like, one football game, your Guy Harvey shirts, and that sweet lanyard you got as a freshman. 9.) Collect Cats: ‘Cause when you’re surrounded by cats, you’re no longer the worst thing in the room. Sure, maybe all that money you owe the institutions is bringing you down, but at least you’re not as bad as cats. That should cheer you up a bit. Remember, those cats ain’t paying the bills. No, no, no, you pay the cats. What with the housing, food, and funny mice being thrown their way, that’s money not being spent paying off your college debt! And the cats won’t ever thank you. They truly believe they are better than you. Your goal of never paying off your loans just got a little bit easier. 8.) Start a Family: Similar to #9, but instead of just dragging cats down with you into that dark, moneyless pit, you’re actually bringing along fellow human beings! Like the things with dreams and aspirations and stuff – you know, the stuff you had before college debt. We’d recommend not bringing others into this world solely so they could inherit your massive debt, but everybody has their vices. No judgment here. 7.) Burn All Your Money: Yep, never gonna pay off that college now, but we all know that wasn’t going to happen anyway. This was the best use of that money. Super cathartic. 6.) Get Addicted to Häagen-Dazs®: Ice cream is the ultimate comfort food. Fake Danish ice cream is basically rapture. Take advantage of the stupid amount of money you don’t have and plunge yourself further into debt. Buy some ice cream and get gorging. You’ll simultaneously feel like absolute garbage and the idea of hedonism condensed into a human shape. 5.) Acquire a Taste for Simple Plan: An anthemic rendition of “I’m just a kid, I know that it’s not fair!” will do wonders for you. And then remind you of the unfeeling, remorseless environment that is the world. Thanks, Pierre. 4.) Embrace Nihilism: Nihilism, the philosophy that defined a generation, is going to help you through these trying times. Well, not really. Nihilism does a very good job of just letting you ignore certain responsibilities. Say someone confronted you for not paying back your loans. You could just retort that the morality attached with paying certain dues is a futile construct of man’s inherent greed. Duh. This wouldn’t do anything about the debt, but you’d be that much crazier. 3.) Tell Everyone You Know that College Is for Suckers: Like in those cigarette ads. “Don’t make the same mistakes I did, kid,” you’d say. “School ruined me for the rest of my life. Stick to your music career.” 2.) Apply for Grad School: Well, now you’ve gone and done it. Way to get yourself back into the loop. At this point, the college has really won. You can just imagine them wringing their hands together, like flies around a money carcass. The flow of revenue you’d be providing them will be stupendous. 1.) Sleep: Forever. Sleep doesn’t judge you. Sleep is your friend. If you sleep enough, perhaps the debt will go away. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. But no. No way it’s that easy. And you’re in for a rude awakening.

United States has Garage Sale “Buy our crap,” says Obama By: black sheep staff

Once again the United States has avoided complete chaos and anarchy by signing into effect a plan to raise the debt ceiling. But with only a few months until we reach the ceiling again, how will the president and Congress raise enough money to help relieve the national debt and boost our economy? There have been many options so far, including globally selling pot and minting a trillion dollar coin, but none of these plans have been even remotely as successful as what the government plans to do over the next few weekends. From 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday November 2nd: A United States Garage Sale. Both the House and Senate agree that there’s just too much shit lying around collecting dust in storage facilities around the nation. Here are just a few of the items that are going to be up for sale: One partially used Arch of the Covenant, two hundred ET Super Nintendo cartridges, over 30 models of tanks, John Boehner’s “legendary” box of pornography, nine autographed Obama basketball cards from college, a connect the dots book partially completed by President George W. Bush, and three plungers used by James Garfield. There will also be a special pre-sale for the 1% of Americans who actually have money to spend on November 2nd, where these big spenders will have first dibs on special items, such as a recovered spacecraft from Roswell (one of three), a signed copy of The Louisiana Purchase, one of Bill Clinton’s saxophones, Davy Crocket’s hat, the title to Detroit, and a complete replica of the space station bathrooms. But what could possibly be better than a national garage sale? Raffle drawings will be carried throughout various weekends where you can buy a one thousand dollar ticket for your chances to

win any of the following: Hilary Clinton’s golf clubs, Sarah Palin’s wolf-killing helicopter, Dick Cheney’s shotgun, John F. Kennedy’s (somewhat sticky) copy of the Marilyn Monroe Playboy, and much more. There will also be a million dollar ticket drawing, in which prizes include: your name on the Statue of Liberty, your face on Mt. Rushmore, your very own Oregon, six tickets to watch the Super Bowl from the Moon, President Andrew “Stoned Wall” Jackson’s private bong collection, and a chance to star in the next Star Wars movie. Those who make purchases of one thousand dollars will also receive a free five hundred dollar deficit bond with a framed, autographed picture of Oprah. There will also be a children’s carnival behind the White House next to the Federal Beer Garden. All purchases will be final, with the exception of nuclear-based arms, which can be returned in thirty days if the product has a factory default. Joe Biden will also have a lemonade stand set up at the front gates, where you can choose from a selection of powdered pink and regular Country Time Lemonade. Congress has set a goal of raising thirty gillion dollars, but will settle for one trillion. If the goal is not reached, Congress plans to put up more signs in hopes that more people will show up for the great deals before the holiday season. President Barack Obama has made the comment that “Finally, millions of Americans can help get their country out of debt by giving money for their beloved politicians’ old crap. Of course, all the proceeds will be going to things we said we would provide with taxes.” The official start date of this sale will be released on the ObamaCare website, once it works.

Pigskins and Puke

Day of the Dead Deep Fry

With football in full swing, everyone’s weekends are filled with television and cases of Bud Light. Sometimes sitting on your ass all day can get a little boring, so here’s a game to play while watching your team of choice with your buddies.

Even if your trick-or-treating days are over, you’re still bound to stock up on candy on Halloween. After a few days of gorging on the sweet stuff, even the comfort of a Snickers bar becomes mediocre. Here’s a way to add a unique crunch to your Halloween candy.

What You’ll Need: A table, a piece of paper, 20 red cups, 4 pencils, paper and pen to keep score, and some beers (duh). Number of Players: Teams of two, and any hot female friends you have to be cheerleaders. Level of Intoxication: Men don’t puke from a few beers, jeeze.

What You’ll Need: A variety of fun-size candy bars, 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of canola oil, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 4 cups of bubbling oil for deep fried goodness. Cook Time: 15 minutes Fatty Factor: Your time at the gym this semester will be wasted on just one of these.

How to Play: - Two teams stand at opposite ends of the table, with your partner at your side. - Each team takes 10 cups and sets them up like a normal pong game. - Fold the piece of paper into a football like you always did every day in middle school. - One team starts by flicking the football at the cups at the other end of the table. The goal is to either land the football inside the cup or knock one off the table. Once this happens, that team is awarded 6 points. - After a touchdown is scored, the opponents lay down two pencils on the table as goalposts. They can be as close or as far apart as they want (minimum 2 inches apart to be fair). The scoring team has one chance to flick their football to land between the pencils. If they can do so, they earn another point. - The team who was just scored on now has to drink. If the extra point was missed, drink for 6 seconds. If the extra point was made, finish your beer. - Keep playing until all the cups on both sides are gone, removing cups pong-style after someone makes a cup or knocks it off the table.

Let’s Get Baked: - Freeze your candy bars for a few hours. - Combine the egg, milk and canola oil in a bowl. - In another bowl, combine flour and baking powder. - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk. Cover and refrigerate for a few minutes. - Heat the 4 cups of oil to 375 degrees in a deep, heavy pot. - Dip the frozen candy bars into the batter then carefully place into the oil. - Cook until golden brown, drain on paper towels and let cool a little bit before stuffing your face.

The Game Ends When: All the cups are gone! Add up the points to see who wins.

The Black Sheep’s Guide to the 2014

Yo H h e er a u e rd

fi rs t!

TOURNAMENT Whew! What a season it’s been! It seemed like just yesterday we were tipping off the 2013-2014 NCAA Men’s Basketball season with a November 8th slate that saw 138 games pitting the nation’s finest young men against each other. The first night’s go-round immediately became the stuff of legend. How could we forget (insert name)’s stellar performance in an unexpected victory over (insert Nov. 8th upset)? Ah, but that was just the first iconic moment in a season that’ll go down in history as one of college basketball’s best ever. And while those early-season games count, it’s important to look at the recently-ended conference tournaments when filling out your brackets in time for March 18th tip-off in bucolic Dayton, Ohio. Heading into the season sports pundits nationwide considered Michigan State the cream of the Big Ten crop, but with their narrow (win/loss) to cellar dweller (Big Ten school) last Sunday in Indianapolis, is this team coming into the Big Dance as frigid as Michigan’s recently-turned winter, or as hot as (female celebrity)’s latest antics?

By :B & r qu e n inn d a n

We say it’s safe to plug Michigan State into your elite eight, but be careful, because if things break like The Black Sheep thinks they will, they’ll be facing a hot (mid-major) team that’s been able to smell the blood in the water for these past three months. Now, we’re not saying we see (mid-major) taking down a wellequipped Spartans squad, but if (mid-major) can put up a gutsy fight midway through the second half, (small school)’s shocking upset of (top-5 team) earlier this year shows just about anything can happen in the waning seconds of a college basketball game. But with Michigan State stronger than it’s been in years, the rest of the Big Ten took a step back this year, with only (number) teams ranked in the national top 25 by season’s end. That’s why we turn to Kentucky, Kansas and surprise top-10 team Kansas State when looking at this year’s true title contenders. The KKK Klan, as The Black Sheep has begun calling them, has taken the nation by storm in different ways. John Calipari’s Wildcat krew has white washed opponents’ defense with a fast-paced offense run through (Kentucky player), while Bill Self’s Kansas squad has rallied around (Kansas player’s) season-ending (body part) injury, rattling off (number) straight wins after his year came to a close as he was carted off during the (date) game against (opponent). Yes, these teams have proven they were on a whole ‘nother level — as if they were a superior group of humans out there on the court, forcing the other players into submission.

The Black Sheep predicts the

The real surprise of the season, of course, was Bruce Weber’s Kansas State squad. Unranked at the beginning of the year, these KSU Wildcats have built a reputation as one of the nation’s nastiest teams, starting with their early-season dismantling of (ranked team) in front of a national audience. Sure, (date) and (date) missteps against soft teams (soft team) and (soft team), respectively, leave room for doubt, but no one in Manhattan, Kansas is doubting this squad. Have no hesitation when penciling them in to your sweet sixteen. And though there are clear lottery picks on stacked big-conference teams, how could we leave out the stellar performances put on by (Pacific northwest school)’s scrappy, three-point gunning, defense-savvy point guard, (name)? This (Canadian city)-born tiny tyrant’s scrappy skill set may inevitably fizzle out in the NBA, but don’t think for a second his high basketball IQ, unmatched hustle, and all-American smile won’t gutsy his team to the third weekend of the tournament. He’s dragged his team this far on sheer willpower, and there’s no reason to think he can’t do it again. While Virginia Commonwealth University has been the nation’s darling for the past several seasons, the midseason brawl between coach Shaka Smart and broadcaster (name) that left the booth man hospitalized and the coach suspended indefinitely will surely hurt the Rams’ chances at postseason success. While college basketball fans are divided as to who to blame for the fight, we’ll never forget Coach Smart’s postfight speech in which he called (name) a “money grubbing, walking penis who knows nothing about basketball.” Barring reinstatement by the university, consider VCU a one-and-done. Of course, we’d be remiss not to mention the (date) tragedy that saw a hot (school) team lose its entire squad and coaching staff in a horrific plane crash just outside of the Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The nation watched as (team)’s plane slam dunked onto the runway instead of on the court. Just when they were playing their best basketball, too. A wracked fanbase and devastated families will never know what kind of high-flying hoopin’ the nation missed out on. National Championship chances don’t come around every day, and you’d hate to miss out on one due to something like this. The Black Sheep will be the first to tell you that a lot can change between Tournament tip-off and the National Championship trophy hoisted high by one team on April 7th in Arlington, Texas. Just know it’s going to be crazy, and you heard it here first.
