The Fates have determined this week we peer into the life of our kindest and most innocent Chair, the darling Whitney Garner, resident Family Events Chair.

I am majoring in Dietetics and This is my third year here at ISU.

I am from American Falls and I decided to come to ISU because it was close to  home and I wasn’t sure where I wanted to go in life.

5.         If you were a comic book hero or villain, what would your name, powers, and arch nemesis be?

Invisible Poison is my name and Invisibility and Super Speed are my games. My arch nemesis is Antitoxin.           (Give me a break it’s all I could think of).

·         My Cell phone

12.  If you were to be on the cover of a magazine in 10 years, what would it the magazine be and what would the article be about?

            Martha Stewart Living! The article would be about how she is getting to be so old, and she has chosen me to take over her industry, to keep people crafty!

            Of course, who doesn’t?

We're not all special bees who can sing in a man-made downpour, okay?!?!

15.  What kind of dinosaur did you want to be when you were younger? What about now?

            When I was younger, I wanted to be raptor. They were small and nobody messed with them. Now that I’m older, I need to be something slower and more relaxed, like a long neck. They are slow, and don’t have a care in the world!

Ermahgerd, every time I get into her car, there are yogurt cups EVERYWHERE! It truly is an invasion.

21.  If you could have lunch with any person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional, with whom would it be?

22.  If you had a theme song, what would it be?

           ‘I was here by’ Lady A

The Probies

Join Us for a Month of Ghosts, Superheroes, and Glammed-Out Transvestites

The leaves are changing, the temperature is dropping, and the rising sense of dread is coming back to us all; this can mean only one thing: October is here. Your protecting overlords here at the SAB have a plethora of ways to entertain and keep you safe this month of terror. Excited? Read on. Terrified? Read on. Indifferent? Why are you here then?!

There are plenty of non-haunted events occurring in October. We have our monthly bingo, mid-terms stress busters, and hell, even speed dating. But none of that really matters when compared to the concoction of horror that awaits those who are patient at month's end.

Am I just talking things up? Is there really anything worth noting that SAB is presenting to you lowly peasants for this All Hallow's Eve? Are you really doubting me, a goodly soul that belittles non-SAB members and hyper-sexualizes actual ones? Take a gander below and tell me what you think.

Coming to a Ballroom near you on the 23rd day, we present to you SEIPO, the Southeast Idaho Paranormal Organization! The resident ghost hunters will lead us all on a trip into Idaho State University's haunted past. Having conducted their research ahead of time, come watch the grand unveiling of this new, never-before-seen footage at 7pm and discover just where the specters on campus reside.  Not to mention, a few lucky individuals who show up to the show first will join the ghost hunters on a very special haunted tour of campus. See all the places said to be the links to world beyond; maybe you'll even encounter a visage from beyond the grave!

Two days after the dead visit campus, a whole new crowd comes to town. Starting at 8pm in Reed Gym, SAB brings you the cult classic, the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Come decked out in costume, get your prop kit at the door, and let's do the Time Warp AGAIN! Remember though, we are  not gods, and thus only have a limited number of prop kits to give; specifically speaking, we have 150 for those in costume only. It's just a jump to the left, after all.

Our final ploy in our Haunted Triumvirate is our annual Boo-tacular! Going on for 5 years now, join us  for the Halloween carnival kids look forward to every year. With various games sponsored by the plethora of clubs on campus, this is a family-friendly party, a night for kids to remember for years. The festivities start at 6pm, again in the Ballroom. You'll find us by the League of SAB Goodness, meaning some freak accident will have left each Chair with newly endowed super powers. Whether you see me as the Dark Knight of Gotham, or our benevolent director as the wondrous Wonder Woman, no child need fear the night again!

You stay classy, Pocatello!

Probing Deep: Meet the New Girl, Brooke

Our sincerest apologies to our diligent followers who missed us last week. Your great and terrible overlords were simply swamped with the madness that was Homecoming Week. Have now fear, for we shall dive right back in with a long, hard, and deep Probe into the world of our newest Chair, Brooke Roney.

This is seriously the worst photo of her we could find. Why does she have to be so photogenic?!

3.     What is your major and how long have you been at ISU? I am a pre-pharmacy student and this is my second year here at ISU.
4.     Where are you from and why did you decide to come to ISU? I am from a small town in Northern Idaho, Bonners Ferry. I originally decided to come to ISU because I wanted a new start and not a lot of people from my town were coming here. Another reason was because the of the pharmacy program.
5.     If you were a comic book hero or villain, what would your name, powers, and arch nemesis be? If I was a comic book hero my name would be Dr. Awesome. I would have the power to teleport so I could travel all over the world making it awesome. My arch nemesis would be Professor Lame.
She's so creative I kind of want to vomit... 
6.     List 5 goals on your life’s to-do and/or bucket list. 1) Make out with a cop. 2) Go skydiving. 3) Go to Australia. 4) Go Reef Diving. 5) Date someone my own age.
I feel like 4 of these things could be done at the same time, with enough creativity and willingness to put your life on the line. 
7.     Tell me about a scar you have and how you got it. I have a scar on the inside of my ankle that I got in the summer after 7^th grade. I burnt it on a four wheeler.
8.     What are three things you cannot live without? Three things that I could not live without would have to be guns, trucks and animals.
Erhmahgerd, she's suuuuucccccchhhhhhhh a hick... 
9.     What is your favorite color? Camo. I am a bit of a redneck.
Point proven.

11. If you were a Harry Potter character, which one would it be? I would be Lavender Brown because she is super bubbly and flirty.
Not to mention she gets viciously mauled by a werewolf the year after getting dumped by a ginger. There's nowhere to go but down after a ginger decides to leave you. 
12. If you were to be on the cover of a magazine in 10 years, what would it the magazine be and what would the article be about? It would be Life Magazine about finding a new drug that cures a terminal illness.

Put meat in mouth and Brooke is happy. Take notes, boys. 
14. Do you like to sing in the shower? I do sing in the shower occasionally but more often I play loud music and dance in the shower.
15. What kind of dinosaur did you want to be when you were younger? What about now? When I was younger I wanted to be a T-Rex, but then I realized I didn’t want to be stuck with a big head and little arms. So now I would probably want to be a Pteranodon (flyer) like Petrie from the Land Before Time.
16. What is the last book you read for pleasure? Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich
17. Besides Facebook, what website do you spend the most time on? Google. I google everything!!
18. Who is one of your role models and why?  My daddy. Because he is one of the hardest working men I know. He is funny and laid back and is one of those guys that everybody loves. He also tells the best stories that will have you rolling on the floor laughing.

My gayness is showing as I had to Google what a Glock 9mm was... 
20. What would I find in your trash can right now? Nothing because I actually just took my trash out.
21. If you could have lunch with any person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional, with whom would it be? It would be my mom’s birth dad. He died before she was born. My grandma always tells me how much alike we are and I have always wished I had the chance to get to know the man who was able to sweep my grandma off her feet.
That's so touching... I'm legitimately "awwww-ing" right now. 
22. If you had a theme song, what would it be? Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf which also happens to be my all time favorite song.
23. Which areas of the world would you like to explore and why? I would love to go to Australia to find a sexy muscular man with an Australian accent. Either that or go down south to find myself a cowboy with a think southern drawl. Or explore Ireland because that is where my heritage is from.
Hmmmm so three-way in a Irish pub? 
24. How would you describe yourself in three words? Redneck. Adventurous. and Spontaneous.
25. Tell me a joke. What did the stoplight say to the car? Don’t look I’m changing!
Your joke is almost as bad as Carli's... Do y'all just read Laffy Taffy all day?

  

      So there you have it! Brooke Roney, only hired just last week as the Special Events Chair, is definitely a girl all y'all should get to know, especially if you are a cowboy (hint hint wink wink). Have a band you really want to see here? Get in talks with the beauty and she'll do her best to get a rocking concert and more next semester. 

  

      As always, I love to let all the little peasants know of our upcoming events. We have two major ones this week, one tomorrow, the other Friday. They are our DUI Simulator and October Family Game Night. We command that y'all join us those days!

You stay classy, Pocatello!

Probing Deep: Courting Carli the Catty Cutie

Greeting y'all! My apologies for the lateness of this week's post. We ran into this thing called "no time" and for some reason couldn't get to the post until today. For those of you just joining us, we're the Probies, the guides (and Chairs...) of the enigmatic Student Activities Board. Here's what you've missed last week!

On Tuesday the 11th, SAB held a tourney worthy of the bards: water pong! As part of our "Drug Free in Week 3" campaign, 16 teams competed in single elimination until there was only one winning team, whose prize was a set of high quality ping tables. 

The children of our gracious leader, educating themselves with a former Chair,  Lady Kelsey Proctor (in black).

Two days late, we began the game of volleyball where no one coud escape unpainted. It was epic, colorful, and for those of us who got wet, freezing. In short, it was a typical SAB outdoors event. For only holding a smallish amount of people, things sure got crazy!

Action shot!

Now, we would say that was a fun week. So much so, that it was decided that we needed to know more about where these events came from; in short, Carli, the madam of the Education Chair, was forced to sit down with the Probie who writes.

Here she is, in all her glory!

1.     What is your full name?

·      Carli Renee’ Oeding

·      Pre-Med, specifically Pediatrics. This is my 2^nd year at ISU!

4.     Where are you from and why did you decide to come to ISU?

·      I am from Salmon Idaho. I decided to come here because I loved the campus and people and I became a part of the First Year Scholars.

Fellow FYS kiddie! 

5.     If you were a comic book hero or villain, what would your name, powers, and arch nemesis be?

·      My superhero name would be Thunder, my power would be Teleportation and my arch nemesis would be Lightening!

Anyone else confused on how Thunder equals teleportation? Unless her ports make a thunder-like noise when she arrives at places. 

6.     List 5 goals on your life’s to-do and/or bucket list.

·      I would like to become a Pediatrician

·      Skydive/ bungee jump

·      Visit each state in the United States at least once

·      Have a home is Mexico

·      Pay for a month long vacation for my parents

7.     Tell me about a scar you have and how you got it.

·      I have a scar above my right eyebrow. My brother and I were playing rollie pollie, which is on the trampoline where one person rolls and the other jumps over the roller. I jumped a little too aggressively over him and caught my foot in the springs where I plummeted to the ground. On the way down my forehead and the porch and railroad tie met. I broke my thumb and was rushed to the hospital where I got six stitches!

8.     What are three things you cannot live without?

·      My king size bed

·      Chai Tea

·      Internet

If any of you were wondering, she originally had Karnation and her man on this list in place of the last two... Kinky, eh?

9.     What is your favorite color?

·      Turquoise!!!!!!!

10.  How would your friends best describe you?

·      My friends would probably describe my as a lunatic. I am very spontaneous and so most times people don’t know how to handle my personality. Usually I bring people out of their shell whether I have to force them out or the willingly decide to.

11.  If you were a Harry Potter character, which one would it be?

·      I would be Hagrid! Because he loves animals, everyone has to look up to him, and he’s smoking hot!

She likes 'em big, boys! How does her man compare? 

12.  If you were to be on the cover of a magazine in 10 years, what would it the magazine be and what would the article be about?

·      Cosmopolitan. The article would have to be about how Ryan Gosling proposed to me!

13.  If you had to eat only one food for a year, what would it be?

·      I would pick tuna. As gross as that sounds I love me some tuna!

Ewwwww... *insert gif of Kristen Wiig from Bridesmaids (you know the one)*

14.  Do you like to sing in the shower?

·      Ummm, duh doesn’t everyone. I can sing Grenade better than almost anyone I know….. as long as no one is listening.

15.  What kind of dinosaur did you want to be when you were younger? What about now?

·      I wanted to be Ducky from the Land Before Time. I still want to be Ducky, shes like the coolest character in the whole movie!

16.  What is the last book you read for pleasure?

·      Kama-sutra

Woot woot! Get some! And knowing her relationship status, well ahem, this could be happening as I write this. 

17.  Besides Facebook, what website do you spend the most time on?

·      Pinterest!!!! I am an excellent pinner! Follow me!

18.  Who is one of your role models and why?  

·      My mom, hands down. She is the strongest person I’ve ever met, a successful business woman, and has a heart of gold. She has always been my best friend and the person I turn to when nothing makes any sense or when there seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

19.  Do you have any hidden talents? What are they?

·      As Ryan says, “I am sickly double jointed in my fingers.” I have an extreme hitchhikers thumb and all my fingers can pop out of the joint.

This is Ryan the guy who writes these, not Gosling. Sorry ladies, Gosling wasn't able to make it to the interview...

20.  What would I find in your trash can right now?

·      Tons of recyclables because my roommate is a recycle freak. I have now learned almost everything can and WILL be recycled.

I said trash can, not recycling bin. I think the Education Chair needs some edumacation. 

21.  If you could have lunch with any person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real or fictional, with whom would it be?

·      Ryan Gosling. He needs to know that I am his future wife!

Hmmmm I smell a restraining order in your future!

22.  If you had a theme song, what would it be?

·      Thunderstuck by ACDC, to go along with my super hero name!

23.  Which areas of the world would you like to explore and why? 

·      All of them if I could but at the top of my list is Mexico and Ireland because they are so different than what I am used to seeing.

24.  How would you describe yourself in three words?

·      Spontaneous

·      Loyal

·      Adventurous

25.  Tell me a joke.

·      Why did the chicken cross the road? (Why?) To get to your house…..

WAIT WAIT. That one sucked. Knock Knock… (Whos there) THE CHICKEN!

Someone likes Laffy Taffy jokes a little too much. 
Carli definitely gave us some interesting answers. At least we know who the most into it person on the Board is now... 

Schedule of events, just in case you can't read.

Also y'all, don't forget, next week is the week of hellishly epic proportions: Homecoming. We hope to see y'all there at EVERYTHING!


You stay classy, Pocatello!
