25 things you can do with your time that are more valuable than reading The Lamron
I’m not wasting time with pleasantries. Let’s get into it.
Ranking The Lamron e-board
Greetings readers! For this edition of The normaL, I’m readily taking the opportunity to be as vicious as possible and rank my fellow e-board members (using their government names) based on completely baseless, yet entirely true, criteria.
Top 6 WORST Taylor Swift Songs
There isn’t a better time to bring up how AWFUL Taylor Swift and her music is than right now with the beginning of her so-called “Eras” tour. More like “Lame-ras”! Here’s the definitive worst of the worst Swift songs. ALSO, it’s only six songs because I CAN’T COUNT HIGHER AND MY MOM SAID YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE FUN OF ME!!!
I hate all of you and here’s how you can fix that based on your zodiac sign
Hey guys. Last year, I (an anonymous, disembodied head hidden in the motherboard of the computers in The Lamron office, charged with coming up with article ideas for this godforsaken publication until Lucifer releases my soul from this—the deepest circle of hell) wrote an article with two anonymous staff members where we ranked each astrology sign based on how good they were in bed. That article made a lot of people pretty mad, so this year I’ve decided to write something even more offensive—THE ADVICE THAT EACH OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS SHOULD BE FUCKING LISTENING TO.
Genitalia Art: changing the world one vulva at a time
Who hasn’t doodled a penis in their time? Not many of us.
If student organizations were Hunger Games districts
If you’re as addicted to TikTok as I am, chances are that your For You Page has been flooded with Hunger Games videos as of recent due to the series’s resurgence in popularity after it was put on Netflix this month. I’ve seen so many different Hunger Games videos, but my favorite videos by far are where people recast the twelve district’s tributes with famous people or characters from shows or movies. These are very entertaining, but I’ve noticed something missing: there are no videos that tell me which district each Geneseo campus organization would be in! Don’t worry, dear reader, for I have taken the time to painstakingly write this article and feed your curiosity. Without further ado, because I know you’ve been on the edge of your seat, here is the Hunger Games: Geneseo Edition.
The Twilight Saga: The epitome of cinema
Hello all, and welcome to a review of the single best movie franchise ever made: The Twilight Saga. These movies fucking slap and I’m unashamed to admit that. Nothing could have prepared me for the acid-like trip this watch would take me down, conveying elaborate and philosophically sophisticated themes, culminating in the single best viewing experience I’ve ever had.
Ranking the Backyardigans as someone who didn’t know what the hell they are
The Backyardigans look like a rag-tag group of animal-like things that are best friends who solve mysteries. The animal-things include the following: an orange moose thing, a blue penguin, some type of bug or something pink with antennae (I have no idea), the purple thing that looks like a kangaroo, and finally the yellow thing in the orange dress that looks like a hippo.
Underground artist T Swizzle gains traction
Keep this between you and me, but I’m about to put you on to the most secret, underground, up-and-coming indie artist of the 2020s. Born and raised in Reading, PA, this artist has been writing and creating music for over fifteen years, but has struggled to become a household name, selling less than 115 million albums over the course of her career. Yesterday, I walked around campus playing her music through my boombox, and had several students stop me on the street, wanting to hear more and making comments like, “Wow, this is so alternative,” “Oh my gosh—who is this voice I’ve never heard before,” and “Now, THIS is the kind of music I wish they’d play in T.J. Maxx, but it’s just too underground and avant garde.”
Happy Dappy Fucking APRIL FOOLS DAY
Okay people, as you can see this is NOT The Lamron, your regular tomfuckery college newspaper. Here are the rules for The Lamron writers….
Victor E. Knight found unconscious, intoxicated in the Main Street fountain
Beloved Geneseo mascot Victor E. Knight was found unconscious and intoxicated sprawled on the fountain last night.
POV I’m the new Director of Athletics
Sports—colleges love ‘em, students do ‘em, and personally, I don’t really understand why. In my understanding, sports on college campuses are basically an assortment of seemingly strategized movements to elicit a response, either victorious pride or miserable despair, from their audience. However, I believe that we could accomplish these same feats with much more interesting tactics.
Geneseo authorities crack down on lethal ping-pong ring
If you live in one of the residence halls here at Geneseo, you might have heard some intriguing, elusive, rotund noises bounding about as you get ready for class or spend time in your dorm room. This past weekend Geneseo authorities finally found the source of this great clatter—and it is not what anyone expected.
Recent CAS dining update claims undercooked chicken gained sentience, heads CAS customer satisfaction committee
In an email to the student body from Campus Auxiliary Services (CAS) Captain Boobed Bimbim, CAS stated that they were aware of the recent student complaints over undercooked chicken in campus dining halls. Bimbim said that while CAS administration had previously considered taking action to address the problems, the uncooked chicken had recently conglomerated and gained consciousness.
Frugal Foodie
As we all know, college students are broke, often relying on gross dining hall food or the greasy takeout available to us here in Geneseo. For a nice break, here is a cheap and simple recipe for. miso-glazed lobster tails and sesame bok choy!
CAS Food: the number one cause of death in Geneseo
Poison. Yep, poison.
CAS food is out to kill, and the administration is behind it all.
Teletubbies ranked by color
Well, this article is coming right out of the purple, so buckle up, we are going for a ride. Today, I will be ranking the Teletubbies by color. Disclaimer: I am color blind, so this will be interesting.
Album Review: Jeremy Sauer’s Taker Cuisine
Coming almost four years after his debut and marking the one-year anniversary of major distribution, Jeremy Sauer’s Taker Cuisine is a terrible fucking album that builds on a discography of complete shit. Exploring themes of food gathering in agricultural societies is a stupid concept for a musical project. Nevertheless, Sauer’s uniquely terrible musical style somehow manages to make that terrible concept into an album that pushes the limits of how bad music can be.
The take down
As of June 30, 2022, the painted tree on the Sturges quad will be removed. Due to much controversy regarding its presence, last Wednesday’s campus meeting voted to remove the tree this summer. The tree has been an iconic Geneseo symbol since the tradition of painting it began back in the 60s, but many administrators feel it is time for it to come down for good.
