Voo Doo (voo’doo) n., [Slang c.1920] hubbub; excitement; mischief; an ideal name for a humor magazine This is the fineprint. The fineprint really isn’t all that interesting. You probably don’t want to read the fineprint. Actually, I know you don’t want to read the fineprint. You won’t like the fineprint. Please don’t read the fineprint. There is nothing to see here. Move along. The fineprint is a waste of your time. You will not like the fineprint. As a matter of fact, you will find the fineprint downright disgusting. Do something else, rather than read the fineprint. Jesus died for your sins. Don’t you feel guilty now? Phos now owns your soul. The fineprint does nothing for you. The fineprint leaves you feeling empty. There is no point in reading the fineprint. The fineprint merely wastes your time. You really shouldn’t read the fineprint. You are better than those sorts of people that read the fineprint. The fineprint is just a series of really small and insignificant words. You wont even stoop to admitting that the fineprint exists. This is the fineprint.

Thank G-d and his son, of her lungs every time the exam time was up (as Dave Jesus Christ! The only problem with that, you see, is that Barry would say, I am not making this up, bitch). It was a in all likelihood no one will be editing Voo Doo next year, truly dehumanizing experience. Worse than my weekly because Waffleman is sure as hell not doing it. He can’t anal rapings from The Institve. even use a fucking computer made after the year I was born to check his email. The unfortunate part about all Guess what, everyone! I was watching Star Trek TOS this is that there may well not be another issue of Voo one night (surprise, surprise!). It was this really dumb Doo. Ever. Or at least not next year. I feel like with out episode, where Kirk, Spock and McCoy beam down to Voo Doo, The Institvte will suck just a little bit more. this planet that was a version of Rome, twentieth cen- Without Voo Doo to push the bounds of campus free tury style. Anyway, while Kirk was doing one of his speech, The Institvte will probably go to hell in a hand- voiceover captain’s logs while being held captive, they basket. Oh wait. It has already. Or at least that’s what showed a picture of MIT’s Killian Court. Except it was Waffleman says, and he’s been here since the 90’s, so he MIT in the 60s! The trees and bushes were two-thirds of would know. Plus he’s my pimp, so I would get beaten their current height! Omg. It was so weird. and deprived of free food if I said otherwise. Anyhow, the fact that Voo Doo may be swallowed by the jaws of By the way, anything Waffleman says about me in the The Institvte is why this issue is called ``The Last Temp- letters to the editor is blatantly false. By the way, I wrote tation of Voo Doo.” I guess that has something to do with those letters, because Voo Doo readers are lame and we Jesus, but I wasn’t raised Christian and as I’ve decided don’t get letters. Ever. Actually, we got a real one this to become a Satan worshipper, I’m not exactly sure what time, can you guess which one? it means. Also, as you can see, the crucifixion of Phos- phorus T. Cat is depicted. If you can’t tell who the other -SFA people are, maybe you should stop playing GTA and get involved on this campus, you lazy millenial. We need a bright young soul to step up and do his/her/ hir/its duty to The Institve by editing Voo Doo! That means you (just imagine Uncle Sam pointing at YOU)! If interested email [email protected] with a letter of interest and resume. There will be an extensive interview process. Dress for business and stay sharp. Sense of hu- mor is not required, although knowledge of InDesign is (funny that). Anyway, as I am graduating and this is the last issue of Voo Doo I will ever edit, here is my advice to all you youngins who still have time to serve in this shithole. First of all, eat foods with fiber every day (or at least once a week). I’ve had more than a handful of friends end up with serious medical issues due to severe constipation. This issues include extended hospitalization, or, worse than that, anal bleeding. Next time you try to pass a grapefruit-sized lump of last week’s meals, you’ll thank me. Secondly, make sure that obscene/nude/drunken pictures of you don’t end up on the facial book. Let’s just say I have personal experience with that matter (ten points to the pervert who finds them). And lastly, take your GIRs early and often, just like birth control.
