Ouch, could you ke

little please? I’m still suffering some lingering effects
from my OProm-night hangover. I didn’t realize it was
possible to sustain a hangover for six days, but then
again, until OProm night, I hadn’t realized it was pos-
sible for me to drink twice my body weight in cheap
BEvERages and scream myself hoarse over a rock
band either—so I guess anything’s possible.

Yes, | may have looked stupid, in fact I’m sure of
it—I’ve seen the pictures, but the rock band I was
screaming myself hoarse over was none other than the
world-famous Rock’n. So who could blame me? What

a show! There were fireworks (both figuratively and lit-

erally), flags, smoke, and even bandannas—this was

one quality rock show, let me tell you.

In addition to the Class-A rock stylings of Rock’n,
there was also a competition for prom King and
Queen, which was obviously fixed. I mean, I don’t want
to start hurling accusations until there has been a for-
mal inquiry, but I think it’s more than a little suspect
that Kali Thurber won the title of Prom Queen just
minutes after appearing from backstage with Rock’n’s
autographs prominently displayed across her chest. I’m
Teen huT 3ut whether or not Kali slept her way to
Prom Queen its irrelevant, she still looked lovely, and I
congratulate her with all my heart. Really.

Prom King honours went to Simon Hatton, who
cut a dashing figure in a butter-yellow tuxedo shirt and
matching leisure pants. I tried to get my revenge on
Kali by seducing her King, but it turned out she didn’t
even notice because she was off cavorting with anoth
er group of Pub Night deviants at a local hotel. Damn,
what a waste of a perfectly good revenge seduction.

When all was said and done, however, we had a fab
ulous time and we thank you so much for coming out
and spending the night with us. A super-huge special
thank you goes out to those fabulous folks in the
Douglas Students’ Union. Thank God (or Santa, or
John Stamos, or whatever higher power you answer to)
for the DSU, they totally came through for us and went

way above and beyond the call of duty to save our asses

repeatedly throughout the planning and execution of

this entire event. We love you, DSU!

For those of you who didn’t make it to the OProm,
and for those of you who did and wish to relive the
magic, check out the centre of this issue fora recap and
a special OProm photo retrospective. But don’t forget
to take a gander at the rest of the paper as well.
There’re loads of great articles to inform and entertain,
and a Very Special Episode of “The Way Things
Sometimes Are” that’s sure to tug at your heartstrings.
Unless you have no heart, in which case you can go

read some other paper you cold, heartless bastard.
