Queen's University, Post-Snack...

It sucks, doesn't it.

Maybe you should do something about it.

On February 7 and 8, Vote BMP. We're not on the ballot. We're better than that.

Surprise! We're also a band!

2005-08-30T12:55:00.000-04:00

Khaki Snack.

That's our site and such.

The sweet hereafter

2005-06-13T21:45:00.000-04:00

so i'm in the bar the other night talking about being in a band and bands in general with some people, when this drunk guy gets mad at me for 'insulting jazz'

apparently he was a jazz drummer.
he once played with dizzy gillespie
"...so after the show i go up to dizz... that was cool man...
and he says... 'yeah...'

AND THAT'S HOW COOL HE WAS MAN!!!!!"

then he started telling me jazz jokes

"what does a jazz mjan say at christmas... HAVE A COOL YULE!!"

also i'm doing a class to teach esl...as well as working on songs about things that sound funny when non english speakers....

Last Monday Night Khaki Snack

75+ songs

If you can't get in, it's amateur night at Shaker's Lounge.

You know...when you think about it....

2005-03-11T18:58:00.000-05:00

People said we were just out there. People said we were idealists with pipe dreams. People said we didn't even know what we were talking about. PEOPLE WERE WRONG. DEAD STINKING WRONG.

Today's journal announced that the College Merchant is going into the hands of the AMS... meaning that the AMS needs to create a new service. Now the same article made it clear that Ethan's plan is to loose money on the UBS... which really has no appeal other than tickets... and to put tickets in a seperate place... just to make the UBS... "stick it out..." and find their own little place in the ams service grand scheme. If the hope is to make a service go from very very little involvement with students to absolutly no involement with students... i'd like to say great job. I mean when has anyone ever gone to the UBS for something other than tickets... books are good... but the fact is... NOBODY BUYS THEM THERE...

getting back to the merchant though... ethan's plan is to open a convenience store/drug pusher in the J-duc... my feeling is A) if people want chocolate bars there is already a convienience store in the J-Duc... i mean do we need a place to buy $1 bags of chips... unless ethan is trying to appeal to 14 year old population of queens (young first years i know) this is single handedly the DUMBEST IDEA I'VE EVER HEARD.
Also.. a non-persicription drug shop...
are you actually serious....

do you think we need a whole shop to sell us medicine for when we're hungover...

what this rant is coming down do is that khaki snack was not being dumb... like all the best AMS teams we saw what was coming down the pipeline and tried to act on it... thats right ... it was supposed to be the new home of TONY'S CUTS... what students need is CHEAP GROCERIES and CHEAP ASTHETIC TREATMENTS...
to be honest A&P has such a stupid monopoly... if i could get a porterhouse on campus... i would eat porterhouse much more often...

we might seem like a joke... but we weren't at all...
please join me in pressing ethan to do something intresting with the new space (until it's torn down in a few years for the queen's centre).... come on...

we need tonys cuts... now more than ever...

that and a clock store....

i'll be honest ... my dad is is the clock buisness and a lot of them have gone out of buisness. i'm sure he'd appreciate it...

I'm tired of rumors starting

2005-02-22T19:51:00.000-05:00

Well, I just found out Blink 182 are pretty much broken up. I don't care if you didn't like them, I thought they were great. I hope Lindsay Lohan never breaks up.

Show tonight!...or whatever

2005-02-16T14:20:00.000-05:00

We'll probably play that song where we compare Ethan Rabbidoux to facist dictators again. Even Ethan laughed... I didn't notice whether it was a diabolical laugh or not, but either way.

Anyhow, Dave Hesch is playing, and I think we're opening up for Whiskey Steve and the Steves and Average Lime. At very least you'll see a funny band name and guys with pierced ears.

2005-02-15T15:27:00.000-05:00

Also, a big congrats to new DNC chair Howard Dean!

2005-02-15T15:16:00.000-05:00

This picture isn't from yesterday.

Chris Provan vs. Love

2005-02-13T19:22:00.000-05:00

Yup, tomorrow's Valentine's Day! Also, we get to talk about the elections at the show. I'm not sure we care enough to say anything anymore, but maybe, just maaaaaybe we'll do something. Also, Chris Provan will be playing the Slow Dance.

Did anyone see SNL last night? It was hilarious, although front-heavy in terms of quality. Jason Bateman was awesome, and spent the entire monologue plugging Arrested Development. It was terrific... though Fox cancelling the show is less terrific. Back to SNL, did anyone happen to notice the prevalent themes of the show? Necrophilia and barbershop quartets. Hopefully Queen's will soon wake up and step into the 21st century.

Sex Bomb

2005-02-11T17:24:00.000-05:00

I never really appreciated the remix of Sex Bomb until this past month. I totally get it now.

Also, I haven't put up any new pictures up in a while. Check this out!

Here's me with my bestest friend in the world, Jumbo Rocket, at homecoming

2005-02-11T15:26:00.000-05:00

That's the number of stupid idiots who cast their number one ballot for us. We also consider that to reflect the exact number of people who did not have a creative or funny enough way to spoil their ballot. Glad we could be of service!

Also, the past few days have inspired me: Let's get in internet fights! Post below if you want to get in a fight with someone you don't know. The rules stipulate that anonymous posting is advantageous as it makes you more faceless, but it is not required. Don't have any pent up rage? Pretend you're listening to some stupid jerk eat salad with his mouth open while you're trying to watch a feature film about life. YEAH!

SLEEP TIGHT YA MORONS!

The Day After Yesterday

2005-02-10T13:24:00.000-05:00

Here's what my mom had to say about the whole thing in an email I just received:

"Dear Derek, sorry about your loss. Your loss is my loss. You should have taken a tip from the little guy from Shawinigan and bought some logoed golf balls. Also i could have given you some tips from my experience as a youth communist although i did not get anyone elected. But i learned from that. losing sux but now you have more time to focus on you know what. dad and I still love you even though you are a loser you are not a loser to us although you are a loser.luv mom x
ps i am no longer a ''red'' and no longer use the alias Natasha"

Shakira

2005-02-10T04:26:00.000-05:00

Ok...ok. Look, we had some heated comments post-election results. Enjoyable at the time, but we're so over it. Right now, it's ALL ABOUT SHAKIRA. -> Whenever, Wherever! That song rocks! So does the video. Don't deny you stupid jerk! It's awesome. Even better is the remix combining Chris Isaak and Shakira. PARTY! The H is O.

The kids don't like us

2005-02-10T02:38:00.000-05:00

Yeah, so other than losing badly, this was an election to remember!

I want to thank GW for sucking the bag way less than any other people. Tavis and Richard are cooler than you-FACT. Omar at the Journal, and even Atlee Clark were pretty nice to us too. Brendan from the Journal not only had us play at Grad Club last night, but even gave us free food. Tonight, he hung out at our Victory Party (because despite being losers in the elections, we are really big winners) and is going to write about us tomorrow. I'm sure it will be both slanderous and scandalous. Well...I hope at least.

Also, thanks to our "volunteers"...by which I mean people who either lent us crayons, or counted our ballots...or in some cases both. Courtney, Karianne, Pervez, etc.

So it's official! Either people dislike us, or they just hate us. I'm comfortable with either. Luckily, this means I can graduate and my parents won't ground me. Well...they still might ground me. All I know is that people have been pretending to be nice to us for the past few weeks and I really hope it continues, because, honestly, sincerity is overrated. That sounds very bitter,and enraged, but i mean it! Since getting swiffed like the proverbial swiffer in this election people have been super nice to us. Which is wicked awesome.

Anyhow, we're going to watch the old school movie "The Collector" and other disturbing films about torture and depression.

Next stop, that part of the Shawshank Redemption when the old man killed himself.

Love,

Derek. Again.

PS Once again, you can comment now. Please do!

Communism!

2005-02-10T02:09:00.000-05:00

We came in 4th, out of 5! We called it! ...actually, just I called it. Anyhow, thanks for checking out this site. At least we weren't last...actually, being last would have been way funnier and less pathetic. So chief electoral officer Wayne calls us and tries to be nice, and I'm like SHUT UP WAYNE! I WANT YOU TO HEAR TINA TURNER... and he refused?!?!?! I THOUGHT THIS GUY WAS COOL!!!! I was wrong. He's dead to me, that sonofabitch. But in all honesty, I don't really care, I just wanted him to listen to "Simply the Best" by Tina Turner. Oh well, at least we, here, listened to it a lot. A reporter from the Journal hung out with us all night. We tried to get him drunk but he still pretty much did his job. I made up as many angry bitter quotes as I could...but chances are they will filter them out quite quickly...ah well. Our motto tonight was: "Cleanest campaign, Poorest sports!" I'm sure they won't print a lot of it though.

Well, we pretty much just ran in this campaign because the Journal has never covered any of our shows. I guess they sort of covered us now... Well whatever.

We suck. I blame everyone except for us. We were perfect.

F U Queen's! I look forward to your continued, rapid, and tight downward spiral!

Love Derek

But not really. I don't love or respect any of you. I look forward to your demise!

VOTE FOR US...or whatever

2005-02-07T16:58:00.000-05:00

First of all, Dave wrote the last thing. I know because of the typos. I'm glad you finally made it here buddy!

Also, can you believe WE are being called the joke team? One team is wearing top hats, another wearing a bear outfit, and yet another wearing afro wigs and a listerine costume. Dancing in costumes??? Man, if this thing was about dancing you could have skipped the 2 week campaign period and given me the presidency immediately. I am without a doubt the best dancer running for president. Easily. I don't like to break it out too often, as I feel it is a very dangerous and lethal weapon...but mark my words, if we don't win I will challenge the "president-elect" to a dance contest.

When I grow up, I want to be Tyler Turnbull. See you in a few days!

Last day of Campaigning

2005-02-07T15:50:00.000-05:00

So today was the last day and boy did everyone go all out on the annoying. Hey... remember in the first couple of days how there would be 4 stereos all blasting in the J-duc at the same time... well after we pointed out that it was annoying, not to meantion illegal (bmp supports copywrite laws...) they stopped... but BOY were back today just to remind you. Some teams even had live DJs spinning... but then the team right next to them blasting "love shack" totally killed that teams attempt to be urban.
also all the teams moved outside... and when people are blasting music, giving away candy and trying to attract attention on a street corner they are moved to one thing.... akward grinding with people in costumes....

also there were a lot of short shorts

Also... today is the last day we can officially post on this until after the election is over... but after polls close... WOW... this thing is gonna get crazy

kfc sports bucket

2005-02-07T01:15:00.000-05:00

So, today we were invited to the Journal's meeting where they decide who they are going to endorse. It was pretty hilarious. Basically, every team states their case, then hangs around while the Journal rips them up for about 40 minutes. It was awesome. Well, the first 20 minutes were great, then it sort of became less exciting. I'd be pretty surprised if the Journal came out endorsing anyone based on all the stuff I was hearing, but either way, it was a fun meeting.

Anyhow, American Dad was totally different than I expected, after seeing the 6 minute pilot this summer. In a good way, I think. The Simpsons were pretty decent as well. Also, that Jimmy Hendrix/Snoop Dogg version of Drop it likes it's Hot is wicked.

CIAO MEIN!

Iggles

2005-02-06T13:48:00.000-05:00

I want to apologize to whoever it was who arrived at our site by typing "jduc hair" into google. Seriously though, it made this whole process worthwhile for me.

Woah

2005-02-06T02:22:00.000-05:00

Ok, so tonight was a little crazy. I had to leave earlier than I wanted and I didn't even get McNuggets out of it, can you believe it?!?!

That being said, it was an interesting night. I said, while on stage, some accidental things I never meant to say. Also, the Radical Dudez and JKKB are still awesome!

Also, Dave needs to learn how to NOT break numerous strings throughout the show.

PS Drop it like it's hoooot, Drop it like it's hoooot.

Sorry Mom

2005-02-05T16:02:00.000-05:00

My mom just called and she's really upset that I have yet to go to the "Job Placement Centre." I told her that I've been really busy, and she replied "Yah, but not with school, or trying to get a real job." Man, parents just don't understand.

Also, I have to take this site down Monday night because of elections policy. Is there any way I can temporarily take it down or something?

I still can't get over the whole Provan Wet T Shirt Fiasco.

2005-02-04T21:06:00.000-05:00

Yeah, so i DJ'd ritual today. Almost everyone running for AMS was there. They were pretty much all dancing like it was their job. Dave H. was all over The Who and Queen, but became a dance machine when Scatman came on. Joe Paes is apparently talented at dancing as well, as was noted during the 90's classic Runaway. Messer looked like he was going to explode during Good Vibrations.

All that aside, it was a sad day today, as we saw some of our last free press come out in the Journal. I can't believe some of the stuff they quoted me on. Also, Tavis wrote a sweet Op Ed thing for us, where he described us as "the shit disturber that's going to rock your world" It was awesome.

Provan hates pants

2005-02-04T02:14:00.000-05:00

WOW.

WOW.

Well... it was that kind of night at Stages. They held a surprise wet T-shirt contest. A friend of mine was in it..which was weird enough to begin with, but then half way through Provan storms the stage and gets booked by the bouncer. Cool, whatever, I'm laughing, it breaks the awkward tension. Next thing you know it's the finals, and Provan returns to the stage, this time with his pants around his ankles! Boy did he get kicked out of Stages! About 30 minutes later I tracked him down, and sure enough-he's alive! All in all, it was a happy birthday for Mr. Provan.

Also, there were two other teams there, and both treated Provan really well! Thanks TMN and DSP! Provan's a little less deceased because of you guys.

Other team's Blog

2005-02-03T11:27:00.000-05:00

Ok, Jenn from RHM made a good post by not using the letter E. I commend her. But I found the contents a bit troubling. Apparently she says she doesn't want to eat at BioScio again. Man, I think their Club Sandwich (which comes with pickles, carrots, and stuff on the side) is actually top drawer.

Also, I'm going to watch CSI tonight I think. I don't know why I love this show so much, but I do. And I'm not talking about Miami, New York, or New Jersey. Just CSI. The first one. I know that based on my love for this show, I should also enjoy shows such as Law & Order. While I don't dislike Law & Order, I always seem to get bad luck and see some of their lesser episodes. Remember that show Sliders, starring Pavorotti? It wasn't that bad.

Newlyweds: Bad or Deliciously Bad?

2005-02-03T11:09:00.000-05:00

Seriously, I love that this show makes Nick look like a genius. He's a rock in it, the voice of reason, he earns your trust. Then he gets out and tries to ski, and gives up after one turn, swearing profusely. It's awesome! He's actually a big stupid dumb-box too! But also, this show rules.

Where was Stalin born?

2005-02-03T00:11:00.000-05:00

Ok, so there was a debate on West Campus today. It was stupid. I'm glad that some people actually showed up, but there were maybe 10 people who weren't part of other campaign teams. And yet, it sort of got messy! Teams kinda started going at it. And boy was it painful/awkward to watch!

For the first time during the campaign, people actually talked smack about us to our face. Apparently, we're a "joke" team?! People insinuated that we were not fit to carry out our respective jobs. Oh man.... Provan almost had an aneurysm! He was all "I was on Faculty Board, DB is Chairman of the Engsoc Board of Directors, and has been speaker of AMS and engsoc blah blah", and the other teams were all "You are funny, but you're making us look like we're very similar and all the same", and we thought "Nope, I don't think we played a role in that" and they were probably thinking "Your ideas are crazy-you're blowing my mind!" and we were all "CFRC played Sean Paul enough to have it in their frequently played records list"

The H is O baby!

In other news, former rector Ahmed Kayssi was poised to write an op ed for us in The Journal, but basically was just gonna put us down. Granted, I deserve it after making himself bid AGINST HIMSELF at last year's genie auction, costing him $450, part of which went towards him buying Highland Dancers. Anyway, I asked him to do something for here, to which he said "No"

Also, if you missed our debate yesterday you can find it online at http://www.cfrc.ca. It's not as good without the visual of Provan's daring physique.

Golden Words

2005-02-02T12:56:00.000-05:00

In the middle. With the car. Damn right. Finally a media outlet that's not afraid to ask people about their private lives. Privacy is meant to be invaded.

Also, we had the debate last night. We clearly won. It's on CFRC at 4PM today. That's 101.9 FM. You'll know you got the right station when you hear someone saying "Now, I'm not a music elitist, but..." I'm not trying to be mean. I honestly have heard that.

RHM

2005-02-01T17:52:00.000-05:00

I just read their blog. They dropped our name in their Golden Words issue-don't worry Ethan, we mentioned you as well. One day we will put this campaign behind us and practice kissing on mirrors together. I hope.

Hopefully gloves will stay on tonight-it's winter!

2005-02-01T17:34:00.000-05:00

There's a debate tonight at the John Deutch University Centre (JDUC). It's on like Donkey Kong!

Tell me why: I don't like Mondays

2005-01-31T16:04:00.000-05:00

I want to start by thanking our opponents. Did you know that their websites (HHW and RHM) have referred over 80 people to this site? Well it's true. Did you know that a representative of team HHW told us to be at a politics class to debate at 9:30, when the class was actually scheduled for 10:30? Well that's true too! Oh man, was I "cheesed" off. I promised him that I would be like an elephant with a super powered memory and never forget. He gave me an earnest and sincere apology. I accepted...but in retrospect, some wounds need more than a band-aid-they need stitches.

The "debate" went well. My favourite part was when the professor plugged our band after our opening statement. I was honestly worried this guy wouldn't be into Tony's Cuts, but as I said it I realized that some ideas are too good to be discarded. How could anyone not like Tony? They haven't even met him! I also enjoyed talking about Ralph Nader and Quebec's attempts at seperation.

The reason I was upset about the 9:30 thing was that it's sort of early in the morning, and I had to miss a class about airplanes. Also, I went to see the movie Sideways last night, and it reaaaaalllly made me want to have wine when I got home. But I didn't. Because I had to get up early. Which wasn't true.

Anyways, the point is that aside from this one misshap, no other teams have openly aired any grievances with us, which makes me happy. We're kind of stupid and luckily I don't think it bothers them enough to tell us. Sure, someone ripped down a bunch of our signs, but I bet it wasn't any of the opposing teams. After all, who could possibly be afraid of cardboard?

Want a Blue Man for Less Green?

2005-01-30T20:38:00.000-05:00

Yeah, so today was weird. We had a satellite question and answer with people at the castle...there were 10 of them. The long time delay made things even more awkward. Dave carried us by making castle puns and talking aobut moats.

Yesterday we had our Golden Words interview. And then today we had our pictures taken. Most of the time it was just Provan talking about being sexy. Also, we officially unveiled our stance as the first AMS excutive candidates openly and admittedly AGAINST necrophilia.

Back to Arrested Development...

Stories from the Campaign Trail

2005-01-29T19:48:00.000-05:00

OH MAN!

I am still alive. So is the deer that ran in front of my car at 12:30 AM while I was driving out to Renfrew. Seriously, this deer was crazy. It was a doe, for those interested. Anyhow, I slammed on the brakes, and skidded to the right of the road, at which point the deer just got out of the way. I also honked the horn at the deer...but not until after it ran away, as if it was a renegade cab driver. I showed that deer!

Provan was in the car with me, as was Tom Woodhall (our "campaign" manager) and two other duders. We sang 99 bottles of beer on the wall in its entirety. We're not proud of it, but it happened. I've never done that before- it sort of hurts your voice.

Anyhow, we came up with a bunch of new ideas, and look forward to revealing them on Monday. These ideas target Common Ground, JDUC bathrooms, and other assorted hot button issues.

Ladies and Gentleman, a quote from Ms. Geena Davis:
"Uh, it's discouraged for campaigns to interact. For instance, if one speechwriter were to date another, they might reveal something crucial about the campaign. Some campaigns have spies for just this purpose, whose job it is to follow the speechwriter, and to seduce her"
-Geena Davis, Speechless (1994)

Musings on Geena Davis

2005-01-27T16:03:00.000-05:00

So I've been reading our opponents websites... and I realized we're being way too nice! First, we make signs out of cardboard we found on the road using crayons we're hoping to donate to charity-and what has practically everyone else on campus done? Printed adverts on recyclable paper! Listen, recycling rules, but let's try to remember the first two 'R''s shall we? They're called REDUCE and REUSE! I'm sure Captain Planet was smiling in his grave when he noticed we REused pizza boxes and only made a sufficient yet modest 21 signs.(some of which have yet to be erected)

You now how much teams are allowed to spend on these campaigns? 800 dollars! We might have been spending that much if we could, but we obviously CAN'T. You need 10% of the vote to get your money back. And then it's a free handout from the AMS...and you know where that money comes from?? The STUDENTS (i think, not sure.) With 6 teams running it's difficult for a team from small town Toronto and Muskoka to even have a shot at 8%. BUT FEAR NOT ADVOCATES FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND REFORM! WE WILL NOT STAND BY AND LET THE WORLD PUNCH YOU IN THE THROAT! We will continue to fight the good fight AT ALL COSTS (under 50 dollars or so)

But back to the websites i read- apparently some other campaigns think it's time to start slinging mud, referring to their own platform as "the best". I won't name names, but it's that type of attitude which can do nothing but FURTHER the clique. I'm willing to admit that we are all equals. But until the other teams retreat from their current alledged superiority based on "the best" platform "so far", i fear the elections may be lost to the dark demon of smear campaigns and olden days trickery. And voodoo (like in Weekend at Bernies 2...that was awesome)

I leave you with a quote aimed at keeping strong during moments of weakness and despair:

"Jimmy Dugan: All right, everyone, let's listen up now, listen up. Something important has just happened. I was in the toilet reading my contract, and it turns out, I get a bonus when we get to the World Series. So, let's play hard, let's play smart, use your heads.
Doris Murphy: [quoting him] That's that lump three feet above our ass, right, Jimmy? [laughter]
Jimmy Dugan: Some more prominent than others, there, Doris."
- A League of Their Own (1992)

A word to the wise

2005-01-27T00:19:00.000-05:00

Be careful if you 're trying to obtain humourous pictures of the current AMS executive. Because apparently there's more than one person named Kelly Steele... I think I'm grounded.

.
Brian knows what I'm talking about!

Sitcoms

2005-01-26T23:44:00.000-05:00

Remember when they were king? Everyone complains about reality tv but seriously, Family Matters?! A kid with tight pants and a nasally voice with 2-3 catch phrases does not an intellectual show make.

Speaking of sitcoms that may not be good, but are on around 5:30 so you watch it because you're sick of everyone on Everyone Loves Raymond except for Ray-King of Queens. Do people make King of Queens jokes about the AMS? I've never heard Tyler Turnbull called the King of Queens. If we win this election, we will definitely try to change the title of president to King.

Ok, so i was just looking for a picture of Tyler Turnbull which i was going to crudely alter, but i discovered he wrote for the journal. Crazy! http://www.queensjournal.ca/articlephp/point-vol130/issue26/sports/lead1 Also i decided i'm through with capitalizing 'i''s. It's not worth the effort.

Ok, now i found this:

www.charlottetown2004.com/ spudball/newsletter_aug1404.pdf

"Calahoo Erins take bat boy Tyler under their wing

There is no doubt who Tyler Turnbull, batboy for
the Calahoo Erins, was cheering for last night in
championship round action.
Turnbull, who
volunteered for the team two years ago, is having
the time of his life with the Alberta team who
has showered him with attention and memories
to last a lifetime. The team has taken him to
team dinners including an outing to Fisherman’s
Wharf, and has invited him to all team activities,
to the point where his mom, Lynda Turnbull, also
a volunteer at the 2004 event, has had to track
him down a few times. The Turnbull family, in
return for the team’s kindness to Tyler, invited
them to their home in Harrington for a meal.
One highlight of the week for Tyler, going into
grade 9 at Stone Park Junior High, was when the
team presented him with a batter’s helmet with
all of the team members’ signatures"

I LOVE THE INTERNET!

Messer's Beans

2005-01-26T19:57:00.000-05:00

Dave Messer is making beans. Specifically, bean burritos. He makes these things ALL THE TIME. It's sort of gross, because he leaves the pan out to dry for a few days typically. But he's the only one who cooks beans that way, so we all know it was him.

Anyways, he just said to me :"Imagine we had a webcam in here now. Then everybody could see it." Picturing it? It's not exciting.

We found cardboard on the street

...and used it to make about 20 signs. We put them up on campus. I forgot to wear a jacket and it was really cold. It inspired me to want to reach out and start making signs promoting warm clothes for winter months. Or cool summer nights. And fall and spring or whatever.

On another note: CAMPAIGNING IS FUN! So maybe we have yet to stand in the JDUC and talk to people about whatever, but we got our picture in the journal! I usually hang around AMS services hoping desperately to be featured in Talking Heads, but I think this might even be awesomer.

I came home and ate half a jar of pickles today. I'm not proud of it. They were Baby Dills. They were delicious. And I hadn't eaten at all.

Oh, Provan got interviewed by the journal today. We tape recorded it...some of the answers were sort of boring to be honest, but some of them were great. I think he made a Tom Clancy joke and talked about The West Wing. He got to fill out a questionnaire. He tried to right a joke about Harry Rosen, a clothing store that makes fine menswear, but wrote Henry Rosen by accident- RATS!

CHECK OUT NIXON BOWLING!

Nixon didn't know how to bowl before taking this picture, but he sure knew how to dress.

okay, imagine you're in the jduc, and you're like "Woah, my hair needs a trim, and I have to make dinner. Also, I haven't had any protein today so I should consider eating meat, which is a source of protein" What would you do?!
Imagine a place called Tony's Cuts. Half deli, have barbershop. The head barber is also the head butcher! Feasibility aside, it would be sort of cool.

Our Platform. The Platform.

Vision. Accountability. Representation. It’s all crap. And so are you.

Hi! We’re Team Khaki Snack. A lot of teams in the past have made a lot of promises that either didn’t happen, or just plain old sucked. But I’ll tell you what doesn’t suck: Reality TV! This new craze is about to sweep the nation, and Team Khaki Snack (a.k.a. Team BMP) wants to get the AMS in on the ground floor- literally! Yup, we want to put cameras EVERYWHERE in the AMS offices. Maybe even our homes. The fact that no one has suggested this is the past has got to make you think: What were they trying to hide from you???

Moving right along, you know what Alfie’s needs? Us to throw more money into it, of course. Also, a name more fitting of its ‘hole-in-the-ground’ status. Like Alfie’s Bombshelter. Or WOW COUCHES WOW!! Or Molson’s presents Alfie’s Molsonotorium…in partnership with Bombay Sapphire…but mostly Molson.

Do you jog? Have you never used Walkhome? Then you’re sort of like us! I bet the reason for this is because Walkhome needs to be overhauled, and renamed Joghome. Our services need to be able to keep up with today’s fast paced student lifestyle. And also, I want to start jogging but can’t find anyone to do it with.

Queen’s needs a Barber Shop quartet singing telegram service.

If elected, Team Khaki Snack will release a book of epic proportions entitled “Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the AMS but were too indifferent to ask” It’ll have a special “Where are they now?” section. For instance, did you know that Former AMS president Mike Lindsay later spent his summer working for The Haunted Walk of Kingston?

Reduce. Re-use. Recycle. You’ve got three R’s. NOW USE THEM!

Vote Burpee Messer Provan!

Prepare for your impending doom
