An Approach to Not Being an Ass barney thompson wrote this
Your first college party is something to remember, in the sense that you won’t remember it. Before you start poppin’ off about how you kicked the field goal that won your high school the division - you’re practically a “goddamn national treasure” - take a minute and think about all the different ways your night could go terribly wrong. Your début on the party scene is what defines you, there’s not enough damage control in the world to counteract punching the paraplegic deaf girl in the face while singing “You get knocked down but don’t get up again,” so make an impression on your fellow party-goers that says you won’t assault the disabled. To make sure you don’t blow every possible chance at a socially active college experience let me help you not be a total ass at your first party by walking you through the Triple-D approach. The three D’s being: Dressing, Drinking, and Dancing. Master these three subjects and you’ll become something more than just a man; you’ll become an Ole Miss legend. Dressing: Number one rule, before you even think about shots or mixers, is to get the right attire. You’re not Judd Nelson, and John Hughes is not directing your life, so ditch the trench coat and fingerless gloves. If you’re going to a frat party, toss on some flat-front khakis and a shirt with a collar with validation stitched to your chest, easily purchased on The Square. Anything red or blue with our beloved Colonel Reb on it will net you big frat daddy points. If you’re going to a “rave” of sorts at The Lyric then toss on some neons and grab the glow-sticks, anticipate leaving as a sweaty mess that resembles a walking mop more than the shambling human you are; dress in clothes you don’t mind destroying. Don’t worry about showing Rebel pride here, just feel the bass and good vibes. If you’re not sure what kind of environment you’re going to be at then dress in the middle, blue jeans and a casual button up. Now let me contradict everything I’ve told you, make sure you’re comfortable and confident in what you wear. Drinking: Okay, you don’t look like complete shit now. Let’s keep that momentum rolling into the next segment. It may seem like everyone is drinking whatever gets thrown in front of them, because they are. You’re average Ole Miss student is more or less an alcoholic goat, except the student consumes whatever’s inside the can. That’s the difference between them and you though, so stop staring at them like you’re watching NatGeo and initiate substance absorption. Make a quick assessment of what’s being offered. Depending on the place it could be anything from warm Natty Light to shots of Everclear. While we’re on the topic, only shoot Everclear if you

have a firm grasp on what exactly you’re committing to, if you’re a Timmy TwoBeer or WineCooler Willy then stick to mixing your flavored Bacardi with Cran-Apple Ocean Spray. You won’t be doing anyone any favors by throwing back five shots of Everclear followed by an evening of punching a full length mirror cause he’s trying to jack your party swag, throwing a pledge off of the balcony - everyone calls him Hawk so he was asking for it anyway - followed by using your laptop as a toilet before tomahawking it into the face of your R.A. and screaming, “Humiliation!” To summarize, this is your first of many big college throw-downs at one of the top party schools in the nation; watch how much you’re drinking, stop when you need to stop, and don’t throw electronics and/or people. Dancing: You’re not Kevin Bacon so stop dancing out your emotions like you’ve got a boner for the preacher’s daughter. Dancing is a free-form art these days, so even you can get by as a master of physical rhythm. A quick way to supplement natural talent is to compensate with more drinking, try to be at least three to four
what’s inside
drinks into the night before making a statement on the dance floor; its best for everyone involved. The next part will undoubtedly be the hardest, finding a woman who not only acknowledges your existence but doesn’t respond to your hello with a facial expression of someone watching the cross-breeding of a Great Dane and Dachshund - yeah, that exists; it gets messy. Don’t worry, not all of them have seen a Great Dachshund. Make a quick scan of the party, find a girl you think is in your league and try to formulate your words into something that she might reply to with a yes. As you’re thinking of a good ice breaker, try to avoid anything that references something of yours “smashing” into something of hers; mace is exceptionally cheap these days and UM has taught everyone how to use it. Seeing as how you’ve made it this far without shitting on anyone’s shoes you must have applied the Triple-D approach flawlessly, making you an Ole Miss legend. Congratulations, kid, you didn’t screw it up.

Factory Life Cleatus was born in Detroit, and started work right away building the Ford Escape. However, after the market crashed the factory could no longer afford keeping a technically advanced humanoid. After being found guilty for the tragic death of a coworker, the company had a reason to lay Cleatus off: “The factory was my home. When work ended and everyone went home, I would stay behind. All the lights shut off, except one that was near a radio. Weeks became months and months became years – just that radio and me. The music moved me, and I became more than a cog in the assembly line – I could move in different directions without prior programming. And
I learned to dance not for myself, but for a woman. A human woman… for almost a year I danced with her in my imagination for hours on end. Then one day, with layoffs looming and clouding my typically calculated mind, a 30-gallon jug of injection fluid slipped through my fingers and doused the love of my life, burning her flesh and killing her, slowly. She looked me in the eyes as she melted into a puddle of flesh with eye contact that I couldn’t reciprocate because these LED lights simply can’t express the alloy-rending pain I felt. Three months later the factory shut down, and I was left to wander the streets of Detroit alone.”
Finding a home Detroit was not welcoming to a robotic humanoid with human blood on his hands. Jobs were scarce – especially for a two-ton robot who only knew Ford cars. He was the representation of the American auto industry and its bloated production methods. The police didn’t want him, neither did the military, and the circus doesn’t accept robots. Cleatus was out of options, haunted by death, and addicted to crude oil. “I was jobless and I was an addict. I worked odd jobs here and there – lifting heavy objects, or other… dirtier things… only to buy more fuel. I sold and traded my robotic extensions to sex shops, who displayed them along with my picture. They called me Cleatus the Clit King, and dressed me up in regal clothes to dance and make erotic gestures in their windows. Then, one
day, a high school football coach saw me dancing and asked if I would work his sideline. Of course I took the job, and started dancing with the cheerleaders. We learned from each other, and were surely going to state. I grew extremely close to these girls. They knew what the streets of Detroit were like, and we connected through dance. They were the sisters I never had. They made me feel human, until one day I was reminded again what separates me from them: death. While performing a triple axle twist into the splits, my foot slipped and landed onto Ashley-May’s chest plate, disintegrating it instantly. She died on the spot, and I ran as fast and as far away as I could. But I couldn’t run away from the soulless eyes of yet another human slain at my hand.”
the road to recovery Authorities found Cleatus incoherent from crude oil, and pleasuring himself to pictures of Transformers in children’s magazines. The media had the world believe Cleatus was a murderer pedophile, but Cleatus waited for his day in court. People we screaming for all robots like him to be incinerated. Cleatus prevailed, and his charges were dropped when the court ruled that the two horrific deaths were merely accidents. However, the judge sent him to supervised therapy and required that he be separated from all humans, “He was born in a factory with machines, and that is where he belongs.” If Cleatus couldn’t find a mentor he would be sent to a tropical island to slave away in a sugar factory. Enter William Clay Ford, previous owner of the Continental Division of The Ford Company and current owner of the Detroit Lions. He was also, as it turned out, Cleatus’s father. William took Cleatus under his wing, and placed him in the deep cement depths of Ford Field. He learned of Cleatus's superior dance moves, and realized that he could use Cleatus to pump up the ever-desperate fans of the Detroit Lions. So, William put a camera in Cleatus's cement room, and had him perform pump-up routines to broadcast onto Ford Field’s big screen. “At first, I was just happy to be off the streets. I had a great job, and William treated me with respect. He built me, and gave me
my first job. Sure, there was some animosity there because he was so cold after the factory incident… but he saved me. But slowly it seemed like my pump-up routines couldn’t save the Lions, and William’s visits came less and less. It wasn’t until executives at FOX saw my routine and decided to make me a national football treasure. I was ecstatic. Finally my dance moves could be seen by the world, and I could clear my name. Cleatus the Football Robot wouldn’t just be a sideshow - a simple-minded machine whose existence on Earth is to obey humans. No more building crappy cars, no more crude oil keeping me subservient, and no more using my robotic appendages to fulfill human sexual fantasies. But just like everything else in my life, it quickly turned to rust. FOX used me a lot at first; I was getting almost as much airtime as the human football players themselves. But years passed, and the FOX camera crews started visiting less and less, just like William had done. Now I sit in this dark, damp cement cave for months on end. I have no idea what time it is, or even what year it is… and I’m not sure why they insist on keeping the lights off. It’s like being in the factory all over again, but this time I don’t have a radio to keep me sane. I can’t even dance with the ghost of my one
true love. The darkness only brings my mind back to the smell of injector fluid burning her flesh. When I dance, all I hear is her screams. It is torture. When they come back, they just toss a pilgrim or Santa Claus outfit at me and tell me to do some dance moves. Someone mentioned that I have a Twitter account, but that’s impossible. The only source of electricity is the one keeping me alive – and I’ve tried destroying it several times. I hate dancing, I hate them, and I would cry if I could. But I can’t and I’ll be here forever. Locked in this cement prison, dancing and slamming footballs for humans to only laugh and ignore me.”

Worst Things to Wake Up To 10.) A Troll: Nothing is worse than waking up with the beer gogs off to a stinky, hairy, grotesque troll. Oh no, what did you do? You’re not even sure if the troll laying next to you is human or part bear, part alien. All you can be sure of is that it makes Honey Boo Boo’s mom look like Megan Fox. 9.) A New Tattoo: Whether it’s “YOLO” written across your forehead or your friend’s face on your ass, drunk tattoos are never as funny the next morning. Everyone else who was smart enough to stay away from the tattoo parlor last night gets to laugh as you ferociously scrub your skin off.
Large Impersonal Classes: Best Way to Learn
Dillon McLaughlin wrote this
In a recent study conducted by the University of Mississippi, researchers have found that students are most receptive to impersonal lectures full of their nameless, faceless classmates whom they never have nor never will interact with. “The result was a huge surprise, but this kind of objective science doesn't have a history of being wrong. Students learn most efficiently when they are thrown into a huge group of peers and talked at,” says lead researcher Dr. Andrew Graham. “When college kids are bombarded with vaguely familiar psychological concepts and scientific terms, it turns out they retain a staggering 65 percent of the information.” These surprising results are attributed to the total lack of other things to focus on during an hour and a half long lecture in a room of 200 other kids and 175 laptops. “The droning voice of the professor and monotonous flipping of slides, not to mention my inability to discern those slides from the ones before it, are great focal points for my otherwise absurdly short attention span,” says sophomore Ricky Hayze. “I'm still undecided, but these general education classes, especially the CHEM 101 stuff with 300 other kids, really capture my imagination and pull me into the subject matter in highly creative ways.” The end of class periods often strongly resemble sporting events, and after their enlightening and engaging class meetings, students meet to recount particularly exciting moments. “Did you see how the professor balanced the equation for photosynthesis?” asked freshman Grant Coolidge, clearly oozing ecstasy. “That was sick. I'm totally going to be a chemical engineer.” “I didn't know a list of biological definitions could hold my attention for a whole hour,” gushed freshman Chelsea Gershwin. “And watching a colorless Powerpoint full of bullet points and devoid of life is a much better way to learn cellular mitosis than actually seeing the process under a microscope.” Dr. Graham is particularly excited to see the
results of the study implemented in other educational institutions. “Can you imagine what this means for elementary school?” he exclaims in his office. “Two hundred and fifty 5-year-olds in an auditorium with the ABCs playing over a loudspeaker for 45 minutes. Everyone will be reading by the end of kindergarten.” “Then,” he continued, unable to contain his enthusiasm, “then they'll get shuffled into a huge room where they get to watch someone else color inside the lines and put the star-shaped blocks into the star-shaped hole! This is a great time for education.” Though the United States has been lagging in education in recent years, this new find is expected to rejuvenate the system. “I can't wait until my preschooler gets to experience the impersonal, fleeting relationships students become so familiar with in a massive lecture hall,” says Oxford resident and mother Shannon McNaid. “Little Jimmy is going to be another cog in the machine, and he'll love every minute of it. We're so proud of him.” Skipping classes is apparently damaging to students’ education, prompting the creation of Course Capture, a program that records the lecture given that day. “Now students can still experience the attention grabbing lectures in the comfort of their own home or dorm,” says Course Capture creator Stephen Harvey. “It comes complete with the monotonous droning voice of the teacher, awkward student silences, and forced coughs that are just trying to add a little noise to the deathly silent room. Imagine – kids can listen to these at home while doing other things like surfing Reddit! They can pretty much re-create the lecture hall feel in their own room - this is long due for the multitasking students of today!” The study has also found that students generally hate the pitiful social lives they already have, so go ahead and assign that extra lab report on voltage differences between conductive materials.
8.) An Unknown Place: Instead of waking up in your bed snuggled up to a hot bod you picked up the night before, you find yourself on The Square with a toothless hobo going through your pockets (not exactly who you want to be in your pants). You aren’t sure if the vomit on your clothing is yours or his. 7.) Your Buddy’s Significant Other: Regardless if it’s girl or bro code, one rule remains the same: It’s never okay to sleep with your friend’s girlfriend or boyfriend. It doesn’t matter how drunk you both were or how bangin’ his or her body is; if you wake up to them the next morning after a night of hooking up you’re an ass. End of story. 6.) Sobriety: Sucks to suck, you just aren’t at champ status yet. You didn’t go hard enough the night before to wake up happily drunk; now you’re stuck in killer hangover territory, and you’ll be up close and personal with your toilet for the majority of your morning. Enjoy! 5.) A Clinger: She may have seemed like a good one-night stand, but once the sex was through you realized what you had on your hands. Run bro. She’s definitely a stage-five. If you let her, she’ll hang around all morning and blow up your phone as soon as she leaves. She’ll stick around like a bad case of herpes. 4.) The Need for Plan B: Someone was a fool and didn’t wrap their tool, so now you and you hook up have to jet to Harrison for Plan B to avoid any future baby mama drama. Harrison isn’t reliable, but for the love of God you hope this works. The last thing you want is to give up cash from your booze and bars fund to diapers and child support. 3.) Hot Piece of Ass Turned Hot Mess: Urine in your bed, vomit on the floor, various unknown stains all over the walls, a stench so vile not even a Levee employee would enjoy it. That hottie you brought home to slam quickly turned into disaster, desecrating in various rooms in your apartment and bailing quickly, so you’re left to clean up the mess.
2.) No Phone or Wallet: When you first wake up you are relieved you made it home, because the last thing you remember from the night before was tequila shots at the pregame. As you go to text your friends asking what shenanigans you got into, you realize your phone, IDs, wallet, cash and debit card are all missing. You rush to check your account to find someone spent your savings on an open tab last night. Shit. 1.) Embarrassing Social Media Updates: You go on your computer to realize your drunk ass is all over Facebook. Your new LinkedIn profile picture is a profile shot of all your new hickeys and vomit-stained clothes. Goodbye future employment. Get your paper bag ready, you’re going to keep it over your head for a while.

Downtown This game is not for the lightweights or the causal drinkers. Players will be engaging in a mixture of beer pong and flippy cup. Does that sound like a pussy game to you? No. Let’s get down to business. What You’ll Need: Cups, ping pong ball, and beer … lots of beer. Number of Players: Eight players, four per team. Level of Intoxication: Insta-shitfaced. How to Play: - Split up into two teams of four and stand on opposite sides of a table. - Set up a three-two-one formation of cups at the end of the table. - Give each player a cup with beer in it, any amount you all decide on. - The game starts with the first player of each team chugging their drink and flipping the cup. This flippy cup continues down the chain for each team. - When the last person in line has successfully flipped his or her cup, it’s time for the shootout. - Players will shoot across the table into one of the three-two-one cups on the opposite side. - Once a single shot is made, that round ends. The players all shift down one spot, and the game starts over again with flippy cup. The Game Ends When: The team who clears their opponents’ three-twoone cups at the end of the table first wins, and they can celebrate sweet victory … if they can still stand.

Recipe for Disaster
Classic Puppy Chow This is a classic recipe that anyone with half a brain can make and enjoy. Except for those with a hatred of chocolate or a peanut butter allergy. But screw them, right? What You’ll Need: An entire jar of peanut butter (none of that organic bullshit), a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, a stick of butter, a box of Chex cereal, and powdered sugar. Cook Time: 20 minutes. Fatty Factor: You’ll realize that not even an eating disorder will help your case after your massive consumption of this chocolate, peanut buttery goodness. Let’s Get Baked: - Melt one stick of butter and roughly a half jar of peanut butter. A microwave can be used but a stove top is easier to work with. - Once the peanut butter and butter are melted, add a half of a bag of chocolate chips and slowly melt those as well. - While everything is melting add a few spoonfuls of peanut butter and about six handfuls of chocolate chips. - Taste the mixture as you go along added more peanut butter or chocolate as you feel necessary. - Once you have accomplished the perfect ratio, pour your cereal into a bowl and drizzle the melted mixture over all of the cereal. - Place the coated Chex cereal and powdered sugar into a bag and violently shake it until all the pieces are totally covered. - Let your finished product cool and share (or not). WARNING: Puppy chow has been known to invoke feelings of regret, produce a negative body image, and make romantic comedies an acceptable genre.

the interview
big freedia
Big Freedia Queen Diva is on the forefront of the bounce music revolution – an emerging genre that might just eclipse dubstep in a few years (fingers crossed). Its super-uptempo beat triggers all crowds into a raucous booty-bouncin’ frenzy, and we won’t be surprised to see Big Freedia’s name on the long list of musical pioneers to come out of New Orleans. Since bounce music is kind of hard to explain, you should just go look up “Big Freedia” on YouTube or go to her website (bigfreedia.com) (seriously, you won’t regret it, although it is NSFBOOTY). By: Quinn The Black Sheep: Can you describe bounce music to me? Big Freedia: Sure, my definition of bounce music is an uptempo, heavy bass, partyin’-time type music. Definitely has to do with shakin’ of the ass too – definitely a party atmosphere, dance-floor music. TBS: You’re a leading force of bounce music, how has it grown since you first got into it? Big Freedia: It has grown tremendously – pickin’ up tons of shows and fans. I’ve traveled half of the world within the last year or so. It’s just expanded really big, and me being on the forefront of it, and being able to bring a lot of people to it, it’s sent me in a whole different direction. TBS: You are in a unique situation – what’s it like going to shows, knowing that a lot of people there haven’t been exposed to this music? Big Freedia: Well, for the most part, it’s been cool. People tend to have seen the videos or heard it before so they kind of have an idea, but they really don’t know because the live shows are so much different. People are really just excited about it, they cultivate to it, and get into it – they start jammin’ with me. You know, you have no choice but to dance. TBS: Have you ever had a crowd that isn’t getting the vibes? Big Freedia: I wouldn’t say they didn’t get the vibe – I would just say they were more of a “lookable” crowd, like they would just stand and watch, then after each song they’ll start going crazy and cheering – then go back to standing at atten-
tion as me and my crew go crazy. But it’s rare that happens, where people just stand there. TBS: Are shows different in New Orleans than other places? Big Freedia: Most definitely, I’d say they’re different. Each place is a little different, you know, kind of the same response in the fans love it and everyone is partying. But the fans in New Orleans know all my music and are used to me, so they holler and sing all the lyrics. TBS: Your videos are awesome, are you making any on this tour? Big Freedia: Yeah I actually have a few videos about to drop. Two that should come out in the beginning of October – working on “Step into the Ring” we’re just waiting on the editing to get done – then it will be out as soon as possible. Also a new one with RuPaul called “Peanut Butter.” TBS: What’s a perfect day in the life of Big Freedia? Big Freedia: When I’m feeling in good health, my mom’s in good health, my family’s safe and secure. You know, just being blessed to wake up another day is a blessing for me. TBS: I’m sure Katrina changed that outlook. Big Freedia: Definitely, going through Katrina and sleeping under bridges and convention centers, being displaced from your family – definitely changed my life for sure.
TBS: What’s something you can’t go without when you travel? Big Freedia: Oh yeah, I can’t go without my razors so I can shave my face – my personal hygiene things of course. I’d be lost without my laptop. All those things to keep everything goin’ in the movement and the work I need to do. Always try to bring some merch for the fans… TBS: Speaking of merch, where can people go to pick up your music and everything? Big Freedia: I always bring some posters and booty shorts – two things I always have with me.
