To the students of Whitman College,In a scheduling snafu which could otherwise be de-
scribed as a giant fuck-up by one o! the members o! the Whitman Events Board, the upcoming New Pornogra-phers concert will not be going exactly as planned. In-stead o! booking the indie rock musical group o! that title, a certain member o! our staf! accidentally booked actual pornographers. Due to contractual obligations, the fact that we’ve already invested time and effort into advertising, and the fact that the guy who booked this already paid the wrong “Pornographers”, we’re gonna have a show anyway. Same time, same place.
This will still be a stage performance, as the por-nography production company we hired specializes in real time, exhibitionist pornography. For that rea-son, your presence is greatly appreciated! The biggest changes we expect from our shift in acts is that on-stage performance can be variable, and the music is going to likely suck balls. The actors and actresses are also likely to do just that. Nonetheless, it’s going to be a huge spectacle!
Hope to see you there,

Pornographers Mix-up
Hey all,
I’m !inding mysel! with a lack o! time necessary to make a cross-word yet again, so I thought I’d try something new: a word ladder! Each consecutive answer varies by one letter from the previous an-swer. For example, i! the clue were alluding to what I am, the answer would be slut. The next clue might ask what you do with a baseball bat, and the answer would be slug. Get it? Hope you enjoy it!

The men are actually judged on how well they pull of! shirtless-ness. Spectators can vote online polling via SurveyMonkey.
There is a strong correlation be-tween the money raised through this event and how sexy the swim team will look in the following season. They swear it’s not in-versely correlated.
When they say that the bike por-tion o! the triathlon is a false !lat, that’s code for that it’s not !lat. Ever. You go uphill both ways.
The swim team doesn’t harbor judgments for those people who aren’t very good at swimming, but try anyway. This is unless, o! course, those people really suck.
It’s funny i! the people manning the course point you in the wrong direction. So loosen up a bit and have a laugh.
The arrows are a lie.
Triathlon is spelled t-r-i-a-t-h-l-o-n. Did anyone else think it was "triathalon" up until just now?
