huge influx of persons obtaining said

doctoral degrees in things that are

seemingly not worthy of the moniker of

"doctor." However, one such field of

study has been coming to the forefront

of this debate more than any other --

feces. Yes, that is right, feces. Persons

who study this field extensively are able

to obtain their doctorate through years

of study, training and expert analysis

and yet, those within their circle of

Weekly Rant

Rambelle of the Week

Kayla Spence

Kayla is one of

t h e c o o l e s t

sophomores at this school. She

is incredibly

friendly, and her

bright, cheery personality can

turn around your

day. If you have

the pleasure of meeting her, make

the most of it. Just follow her

around for hours,

so that you can

see just how cool she is. I’m sure

she won’t mind.

Well I am severely disappointed in

myself. I had my usual elaborate rant

ready to send to the editor, and I

saved something else on top of it. I

hate life. So now I will attempt to

re cr ea te/ re en a ct t he ma st er-

piece…..ahem (throat clearing)…

One of my fellow writers was just

telling me of how much he adored the

book Animal Farm. Needless to say,

this person is George Orwell. A little

known fact about George is that he

could talk to animals. All animals

except sloths that is. Thi s is because

they take too long to say anything, and

since George has a very short attention

span, he just ignores the sloths. And

the sloths hate him for it. They hate

him so much that they dedicated a

shrine to him in the forest of Yugosla-

via. And they throw their feces mi xed

with vinegary tomato juice. But he

was nice to all the other animals of the

kingdom in which he lived, and with

frothy vengeance they planned to

break down the shrine that the sloths

had built. So the animals, obviously

led by a lion (one with a freekin huge

mane that he permed every week in

order to be a sexy lion), made huge

catapults that were so big they could

throw a parade of elephants, or 5

colonies of penguins. They had to

find something large enough to throw

in this catapult so they wouldn ’t waste

any space. Obviously they didn’t want

to throw their own kind, so they built

this huge wooden rabbit and loaded it

up. As they drew the firing mechanism

back, the anticipation in the air grew.

It grew to such a tension that many of

them pooped their pants. The big

rabbit was released and sailed in the

air not unlike a spoon filled with

mashed peas being thrown at the face

of a wonton mother by a 6 month old

baybay . As it neared the sloth terri-

tory, the sloths started to look up .

Since the wooden rabbit went to high

in the air, so high in the sky, the sloths

had a full minute to turn their heads.

And when they di d, bapadada!

THERE WAS MUCH DEFECA-

TION!

I love you

George Ferguson

Meet the Spartans, or Crap on Tape Jason Friedberg and Aa ron Seltzer, the

writer-d irector-producer team behind

Date Movie, Epic Movie, and now Meet

The Spartans , have a n ice rac ket going . At

the beginning of the year, during the pre-

Oscar doldrums when stud ios quic kly and

quietly dump failed projects into theaters

to die ignoble deaths, Friedberg and

Seltzer release another half-assed, qu ickie

spoof flick. They've done it for th ree years

in a row, and the st rategy so far has led to

big opening weekends followed by pre-

cipitous drop-offs once word gets around

that, shockingly, their mov ies a re effing

terrible. Meet The Spartans is willfully

disposable, leaning heavily on references

to timeless cultural touchstones like

Stomp The Yard and the "Leave Britney

Alone!" guy. In another life, Friedberg

and Seltzer might have been successful

bumper-sticker salesmen, always in search

of new objects of scorn for Calvin of

Calvin & Hobbes to pis s on. Instead, they

get by with bad movies that a re more

marketable than the bad movies they're

competing against. While prev ious entries

in the Fr iedberg/Seltzer canon poked

fun—using the word "fun" ve ry loosely—at

whole genres of movies , l ike romant ic

comedies and summer blockbusters, Meet

The Spartans focuses mainly on one film,

300. While there 's enough comed ic

material there for as many as three some-

what tolerable minutes of MADtv, Meet

The Spartans gamely alternates between

unfunny gay jokes and v iolent pratfalls for

a good 80 minutes, find ing time for not

one, but two mus ical dance numbers set

to "I W ill Survive." Meet The Spartans

feels thin even given its merc ifully brief

running time, but that isn 't for lack of

pop-culture references. Everything from

American Idol to Shrek to Ugly Betty—

yep, that overexposed America Ferrera

finally gets brought down a peg—is skew-

ered. And by skewered, Fr iedberg and

Seltzer mean "introduced in the most

obvious fashion poss ible, then kicked

and/or puked on." The only laughs in

Meet The Spartans come , un intent ion-

ally, from the most ridiculously on-the-

nose references. ( Borat star Ken Dav itian

is introduced a s "the fat guy from Borat.")

Do Friedberg and Seltzer not trust the

audience to get a simple Borat reference

without blatant explanations? Do they

worry that stupidity is contagious? If it is,

they have millions of dead bra in cells on

their hands . Bad film, bad acting , bad

choice. This film is an abhorrence to all

that is cinema and gets what it deserves,

or rather worse than all imaginable, a big

fat Q.

Thoughts To Ponder

• Why is the show called unsolved mysteries? if

they were solved they wouldn't be mysteries.

• Why is Mickey Mouse bigger than his dog Pluto?

• Why do they call them pepperoni if there is no

pepper in it?

are beginning to take the study of feces, previously thought

to be a perverse fetish-like behavior, seriously. And we here

at the Ramdiculous Page applaude the steps that have been made to correct this oversight and

misunderstanding among the medical community, and thus would like to help educate those who

may or may not know if they or someone they know is a studying feceologist.

Signs of Feceologist Behavior

1. An unexplainable attraction to making poop jokes in public

2. Prolonged staring at bowel movements in toilets, public or private, even if not their own

3. An urge to grasp, mold or fling poop.

4. Intense need to smell farts and analyze odors for traces of various foods contained therein

5. Unexplained brown smudges on and around the nostrils.

6. Desire to watch and re-watch the 2 girls, 1 cup video

7. Reinactment of 2 girls, 1 cup video for "research" purposes

8. Over-eating to produce larger, smellier, more ostentatious bowel movements.

9. Digging through peoples laundry searching for skid marks.

10. Hanging pictures and posters of feces throughout their room.

Cheese, cheese the magical fruit

Eat it like candy, trade it like loot

A food that is very dear to my heart,

So yellow and squishy, a true work of art.

Bacterial goodness, spoiled milk of delight

Each time I come home it's a beautiful sight.

I eat it with humus, jam, crackers, and greens

Its taste can be matched by no other I've seen

We have lots of fun, cheesy goodness and me

It even inspires my poems, you see.

Darwin Awards (1 January 2007, Neth-erlands) The first Dar-win Award of 2007 goes to Serge Sluijters, 36, who thought it rea-sonable to hover over an illegal professional fire-work and light the elec-tronic ignition with an open flame. But this was not a traditional wick; it was a device designed for precision timing. The flame trig-gered an immediate launch, and the fire-works catapulted up-wards, killing our ama-teur pyrotechnician en-route to a spectacular burst across the night sky. Serge had pur-

chased the firework le-gally in Belgium, but then transported it ille-gally into the Nether-lands. His father dis-puted the notion that Serge was careless, characterizing his son as a man who gave due consideration to his acts. A witness told re-porters, "His face disap-peared. If someone has no face left, you know it's serious." Every year, another idiot gets nomi-nated for a Darwin Award for this same reason. Please, readers, keep your itchy fingers off the triggers of these dangerous fireworks!

Today, I would like to tell you about my little friend, Francisco the dancing duck. Francisco grew up in inner city De-troit. He was cold and rigid, the kind of duck you didn’t mess with. I’m serious. That dude would rip your freakin head off if you got in his way. He didn’t care who you were or why, you were there. If you got between him and some-thing he wanted, he would mess you up. And he had to be that way. Otherwise he would have never made it in

that world. But some-thing happened when he was 3 years old. His parents died, so he went to live with his grandpar-ents in rural West Texas. That’s where I first got to know Francisco. He was still very rough around the edges, but his grandparents and everyone around him were so friendly that after a while, the cold bitter duck that had lived in Detroit soon was no more. He became the friendliest duck anyone had ever met. He laughed all the time, and

he danced all the time too (hence his nick-name). Then one fateful day in December, Fran-cisco got stabbed. One of his old enemies from Detroit had come look-ing for him, and when he found him, Francisco didn’t even fight back. I was the one who found him lying there. He was already dead. I couldn’t do anything. That Christ-mas, as my family sat around the dinner table, we mourned for our lost friend, and we also learned something about him. We knew he

had given up his rough exterior for a sweet, ten-der one; but what we didn’t know was how sweet and tender he was on the inside too.

My Friend Francisco By: Ralph Waldo Emerson

In light of recent publications of the Ramdiculous page, the student physics contingent on campus

made a conscious choice to accept an invitation to contribute to this fine literary periodical. It came

to our attention that perhaps an enlightening contribution was in order. Particularly, interest in the physics depart-

ment was generated when a recent article claiming that light bulbs “suck dark” was included in this otherwise out-

standing piece of newsprint… Seeing as how we in physics are concerned with spreading knowledge like the plague, we have agreed to contribute this weekly column which we have lovingly entitled “KNOWING KNATURE”, where we in-

tend to satisfy the curious reader who is full of questions that they were just too embarrassed to ask in their sci-

ence classes. Please be warned that the articles will lean toward the Physical rather than the Biological, but since

Physics is the “mother of if all”, we will take liberty with our expositions into

all areas of the natural world. Our first series of illuminating articles will be

entitled: “SCIENCE FACTS YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW”,

aimed at shedding light on some commonly held misconceptions about the uni-

verse where we reside. So, please stay tuned and prepare to be smarter every

week as you read our words of wisdom.

Speaking of enlightenment ---As for the question about SUCKING DARK…

Please, doesn’t everyone know that nature abhors a vacuum, and thus sucking

dark out of a room is not a plausible explanation for the observed effect that

a light bulb has on darkness. We think it has something to do with physics,

but more on that later.

Welcome to ASUAlert, a new com-

Angelo State University to send

time-sensitive emergency notifi-

cations via voice messages, text

messages, and ASU e-mail to fac-

ulty, staff, and students.

ASUAlert will assist in providing a

safer environment, enhance emer-

gency preparedness and keep the

campus community more in-

formed.

This new method of communica-

tion around campus will help in

the event of an ‘Active Threat,’

such as a school shooter, bad

weather, school delays, and fires,

as well as chemical spills, we are

working with ASUAlert to also

include messages about bad writ-

ing in other, they shall remain

nameless, newspapers. As of

Tuesday, 1250 students, which is

about 23% of the student body

have signed up.

Angelo State is trying to work

with the students to make sure

the students are as safe as possi-

ble. Although signing up is not

necessary, we at the Ramdiculous

Page recommend signing up, for

the safety of everyone… But don’t

do it if you are gonna shoot up the

school, cuz you don’t want to be

interrupted by a stupid text in the

middle of your rampage… Ha,

rampage, isn't that a great word.

The Ramdiculous Page does not mean to

make light of school shootings, we sympa-

thize with all who are involved a nd we pray

that this neve r happens he re in Sa n Ange lo,
