Since we rarely find ourselves sitting in computer labs surrounded by high-tech gizmos, gadgets and scanners, we figured that this production weekend would be a great time to upload some funny stuff that’s been passed down through the years. Most of what we have has never been published (at least not that we know of) and we want to make sure that the hard work that went into these hilarious bits of Phroth history was not in vain.

This fell into Rebecca’s hands at the end of last year…it’s a poster drawn for Phroth a few years ago of a giant asian terrorizing a city of Godzillas. There’s a signature at the bottom but we can’t decipher it. If you’re a Phroth alum and happen to know who drew this, where it came from, or why it was never published, we’d love to know! If you’re not a Phroth alum, or even if you are and just haven’t seen this before, enjoy the humor and pass it on!

Phroth Radio is going to be a weekly podcast hosted by phrothies Max Moio, Brandon Scott Wolf, and Mike Lewis.

It’s not long — 10-15 minutes — and each week will bring something different to the podcast — interviews with favorite phrothies, on campus celebrities, funny stories and adventures from the weekend, as well as information on what’s going on with Phroth. They’ve got a lot planned and it’s all very funny stuff.

Click here to download the first episode of the podcast (clicking will open iTunes). You can also find the podcast by opening the iTunes store and searching for “phroth.”

We hope you like it! Please leave comments on the iTunes page or on the blog to let us know what you think of the show!

NANTUCKET, Ma – Sides came to blows Monday afternoon over disputed election results of the local cross-country running club iRan. Protesters claiming the presidential election was a fraud lined the lanes of the local track where the team practices, preventing other people from running. Officers of the club, which is sponsored by computer behemoth Apple, showed up to kick the protesters off the track but ended up kicking their asses. “After they refused to move we had no choice but to start using deadly force, lest their voices start being heard,” said an official iRan spokesperson.

The controversy started last week after the election for the club’s president between incumbent president Molly Aman and Harry Munster. Molly Aman is the hardline candidate who believes all the clubs members should always run in a straight line and as hard as they can. Harry Munster is the reformist candidate. He believes members of the club should pace themselves during long extended runs, as well as better relations with the United States. 

Aman declared herself the winner of a landslide election two minutes after the polls closed, claiming 18 votes out of 25, winning by 11 votes. Munster and his followers cried foul, claiming that the election was tampered with and demanded a new election take place.

Supreme Runner Alison Khan, the iRan member with more power than anyone in the club, supported Aman during the campaign and rejected the idea for a new election in a speech to iRan. She also went onto say that if that protests continue that Munster and his followers would be held responsible for what occurs next, which would be the prevention of other people from running, she clarified in a later statement.

Khan also has barred anyone in iRan from speaking to the media unless they are a club official and has restricted media access to the track where the club runs. However, Phroth has been able to gather information on what is happening in iRan through videos posted to Youtube and tweets posted to Twitter. “This is amazing! There are literally tens of us here in protest to this fraudulent election!” tweeted Runstar2009.

IloVeBAkedgOodS420, another twit, tweeted this message only five minutes ago, “So I, uh, like totally went down to the track today for some exercise, but there were these squares on track demonstrating about the Iranian election. Why the track man?”

Meanwhile, Munster has not been seen for several days. Some believe him to be dead, but his Facebook status currently reads, “Went to Miami to chill out for a while. HELLS YEAH!” Five people reportedly like this.

Look get over it. You have swine flu. Time to move on with what’s left of your life. If you lived in Mexico you would have been dead days ago, but because you live in America, you are going have to deal with this. Out of the goodness of my heart and in accordance with my court ordered community service, I have hastily compiled the following list as things you can do to help get through your bout of swine flu:

1. Lick a Mongoose: I did some quick research on how you get swine flu and apparently you get it from licking pigs. So first of all, shame on you. The same website also said that mongooses have chemicals on their skin that can counteract the active agent in swine flu. So get one of those furry bastards, buy it a nice dinner, and go to town.

2. Lick a Wombat: This isn’t to help with swine flu but rather because you are so soul crushingly alone that you probably have to lick animals to find some semblance of companionship.

3. Don’t Eat at Taco Bell: Look, you already have swine flu. You don’t want Ebola, e. coli, SARS, Gonorrhea, congestive heart failure, and scurvy too.

4. Also, Don’t Eat at Long John Silvers: Trust me. Just trust me.

5. Why don’t you trust me anymore? What happened to you? What happened to us?

6. Go to a Swine Flu Support Group: It can be good to tell other people about how the swine flu has affected you and the ones closest to you. In a related note, stop coughing on your family dammit. Just so you don’t get a big shock when you check out the support group, here is a preview of everyone who will be there:

a. The Sniffler: This is the person who woke up with a sore throat, turned on CNN, and immediately called her physician to take every imaginable test known to man. If you want to get rid of this person, just ask her if she has her last will and testament in order.

b. Grizzled Old Sea Captain: This person has had every damn disease under the sun. He
had Malaysian Goat Flu when all of you was nothing. This guy can be seen smoking cigarettes in the corner and occasionally says, “You think you’ve got something bad? I’ll tell about something bad. . .” and then goes into an uncomfortably graphic story of a passionate night with a Eritrea prostitute. 

c. The Alcoholic: This person is in the wrong meeting, but is too gone to notice, and no one really wants to touch him to wake him up. 

d. Your Dad: Remember when you thought he got more iced tea than you at Applebees and you drank from his glass when he went to the bathroom? Bam. Swine flu. Also, if you haven’t figured this one out yet, you should probably car pool.

7. Go to Your Local Playground: The laughter of children just might cure you in a heartwarming tale of the triumph of the human spirit.

8. Get an Attorney: The pedophilia charges are coming fast and heavy for number 7. 

9. Hey I’m sorry about number 5. That just came out. That was raw. This isn’t the time or the place. And I apologize.

10. (If time permits) Go to a Hospital: If you’re not dead after completing this list, check out your closest Emergency Room. You are dying from a scary illness.

Well there it is. Now you have the tools to live with your crippling disease. Now quit your (s)whining.
