A man goes to the doctor with a carrot up his nose...
He has a stalk of celery in the other nostril and peas in his ears. He says to the doctor, "Doc, I'm not feeling well." The doctor says, "Well, you're not eating right."

The Best Things to Watch on Netflix Right Now
By: Greg Feiner (Has Stage 5 Senioritis)

                As I’m sure you’re all aware, second semester, while a time for underclassmen to burn the candle at both ends, is a golden time of procrastination for seniors. However, much time seniors spend not doing their homwork is all too often wasted on silly internet videos, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other senseless timesucks, instead of something more culturally enriching. Like Netflix.
                Here are some titles available for instant streaming on Netflix that might help you plan your last two weekday evenings of the quarter.
  • Submarine- This independent British film (something I would, recommend, right?), is about the coming-of-age of a charming Welsh boy named Oliver Tate. It features sharp, witty dialogue and original songs by Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys.
  • John Mulaney: New In Town- Watching this stand-up special was one of the funniest hours I’ve ever experienced. A perfect pick-me-up for end-of-the-quarter assesments.
  • House of Cards- If you’re not watching this show, you should be. It’s f***ing insane.
  • Dexter “Season 8”- Just kidding, don’t watch this.
  • In Bruges- Not for the faint of heart, but an enthralling blacker-than-black comedy. Very smart, very funny, kind of messed up, but grade-A cinema.
  • Clerks- Kevin Smith’s first and best movie. Really funny, downright ridiculous dialogue. Great way to kill 90 minutes.
  • In the Loop- Great British/American political comedy. Razor-sharp dialogue, and biting political satire. Also, features Peter Capaldi, the 12th Doctor, as a foul-mouthed Scotsman.
What I Wish They Found In Yanukovych’s Estate
By: Chris Halter  (Our Eye on the World)

Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych fled the Ukraine after signing a peace deal with anti-government protesters. Once exiled, the Ukrainian public had the opportunity to explore their ousted leader’s 140 hectare estate, and what they found was astonishing: a golf course, a zoo, hundreds of expensive cars, a pirate ship, and much, much more. As much as I enjoyed reading about the absurdity of his estate I compiled a list of five things I wish they had found.


  1. Every season of Dora the Explorer: because what is funnier than a iron fisted leader who is into children’s television.
  2. A huge collection of pornography: it was funny when we realized Bin Laden was a porn addict, but a civilized world leader owning a huge collection of pornography... classic.
  3. A giant portrait of Vladimir Putin: If there was a huge portrait of good ol’ Vlad—preferably a shirtless one with Bears—it would certainly raise questions about any special trips Putin made to the Ukraine.
  4. A library of self-help books: the irony of a corrupt leader trying to better understand his emotions would be too much to bear.
  5. A pillow person: You know those pillows shaped like a person in a spooning position, one of those kind of pillows because after all, money can’t buy love.
