Being in Mr. Gad's is really great; freshmen should try out, and look for the posters. This year is going to be even better than last; we've been honing our skills of randomness to bring you bigger and better comedic genius this semester.

What do you enjoy most about Mr. Gad's?

If not the people-who are wonderful-then it has to be the jokes. We never censor ourselves so it's always wonderfully off-kilter and crazy, it's really refreshing.

What are you most looking forward to this academic year?

Phantom Brave for Playstation 2. It takes the best elements of Disgaea and adds to them a touch of more awesomeness. I don't even plan on going to class-this game is that good. I'll be up on the hill locked in my room until Halo 2 comes out and then the real smackdown must begin.

Speaking of class are you shopping any interesting classes?

"The Tale of Genji" taught by Professor Caddeau, though if this book doesn't have any sex I have no idea what I'm reading it for. But the class seems really interesting. At out first class meeting we had a poetry competition on the subject of being back at school.

See any good movies lately?

"The Transporter." It's every white man's fantasy: You're a total badass then you find an Asian girl in your trunk, what do you do? But I really enjoyed the terribly contrived plot and gratuitous action shots which make no sense.

What was the last CD you bought?

Ace of Base-they rock, and I found the CD for two bucks at a CD store. Its hard to dislike music which for most of us inspires great nostalgia for a really terrible era in our lives, like middle school.

Just for kicks, what's your favorite vegetable?

Oranges, because you can peel them by hand.

That's not a vegetable.

I know.

What advice would you give to first-years this year?

One of the best parts of Amherst College is that if you're ever in the hood and you need to escape you can always pretend to be from UMass. But seriously, the best advice I can give is to just try everything you can, you'll find tons of hidden gems in random activities which turn out to be rewarding and quite enjoyable, even if it seems not to be your thing at first. Oh and audition for Gad's, we rock hardcore.

What's up with all the Perrier littered around your room?

After a hardcore Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) workout you need hydration and the only way to hydrate a fine-tuned body like mine is with beverages produced in France. In addition, I believe that the greatest drinks come in green glass bottles.

So I hear you have a radio show on WAMH. What's it like?

Imagine your average morning show on your regular hip-hop station and add better humor, less Nelly, more ninjas, more pretension, calls from a local prison and then imagine all of that on a bagel with cheese and tomato.

What'd you think of the Luau?

Could have used more "Lu" and less "au" but seriously, The Naughty Muffins are always an awesome live show and they did not disappoint this time. Plus the cops didn't shut it down early like last year, I give it a thumbs up, way to go SoCo.

Are you carrying a weapon on you? (I know a lot of you are.)

New Zealanders such as myself only carry sheep, if you know what I mean.
