Ask The Intern: Clearing the Air
I’m going to start this week’s column by addressing some things I have fought the urge to acknowledge for quite some time now. Since the launch of TotalFratMove.com there have been wild rumors, baseless accusations, and fervent arguments spawned in regard to the sites founders, owners, admins, and interns. In fact, I still remember a day when I had no idea who ran this website, and I took part in questioning the mystery. For the most part we have embraced these theories and found them to be very entertaining. You could even say it has been an unwritten policy to ignore unsubstantiated claims and gossip. However, it has recently become clear that some obsessively angry individuals are attempting to defame the TFM staff by committing libel with the intention of dislodging our credibility. I will not stand idly by and let some muckraker sully my reputation, or that of my employers.
To say that a website which was fashioned with the intention of entertaining and connecting members of the Greek community was started by GDIs, without any evidence or proof of such, is utterly moronic. The founders and owners of TotalFratMove.com are alumni of an esteemed national fraternity that has been in existence for nearly a century-and-a-half. I know this not only because I have worked with these men for months, but also because I am fortunate enough to call them my brothers.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Welcome to the seventh edition of “Ask The Intern.” At the beginning of each week I prompt the followers of @TFMintern on twitter to participate by asking me questions of an unrestricted nature. Inquiries can also be emailed to TFMintern@gmail.com. These are my answers to the questions I felt merited a response:
“Ideally, what will your Halloween slampiece be dressed up as?”
I’m a big fan of the overly sexual hot cop costume. Something about the combination of sluttiness, handcuffs, and my general dislike for law enforcement makes me want to use my white nightstick.
“What do you think of the Hank Williams Jr. comments on Fox and Friends yesterday?”
Hank Williams Jr. is obviously an outspoken individual, and his unique expression of personal opinion on national television was hilarious. That being said, he definitely crossed a line that I tend to avoid. It’s one thing to speak critically of our President, and as a republican I find myself doing this relatively often. However, personally I find it unpatriotic to make a comparison between the leader of the free world and Hitler.
“Is there any way to be taken off the blackball list for a failed drunk TFM post?”
Good God man, what did you do? Send me an email at TFMintern@gmail.com and I’ll assess the situation.
“Why the FUCK was that GDI Ron Jeremy interviewed? No one wants to see a pill bug with a mustache fuck, anyway.”
I’m pretty sure it was just one of those situations you can’t pass up. I have to admit I found the interview to be the bad kind of weird, but the hysterical comments it generated made it all worthwhile.
“Why is it that weed is for geeds, yet cocaine seems to be more accepted in the frat community?”
Stoners tend to be lazy jackasses that you have to prod just to pay their dues. Blow is definitely more of a party drug. Nobody does a line and stands in the corner staring at their own composite picture zoned out for a half hour during a rager.
“How would you haze these hippies protesting Wall Street?”
I’d probably walk around the crowd with a sack of hundreds, lighting them on fire individually and laughing like Dr. Evil.
“One year supply of Johnnie Walker Blue (as much as you can drink) or a golf lesson and a handjob from Sophie Horn?”
I’d definitely go with the year of unlimited Johnnie Blue. Taking a golf lesson from a woman, regardless of attractiveness, would be emasculating. Anyway, her man hands would probably grip my shaft too tightly.
“Mighty Ducks 1, 2, or 3?”
D2: The Mighty Ducks. Fuck Iceland.
*The views expressed in this column reflect only those of the intern. He is a highly sarcastic and disturbed individual.
Can we go to the moon on vacation?
13 years ago at 1:47 pmWhy can’t penguins fly?
13 years ago at 1:47 pmHow far east can you before you head west?
13 years ago at 1:59 pmHow many times is it acceptable to comment on your own post?
13 years ago at 9:53 amAny guesses on which fraternity the creators of this site are from?
13 years ago at 1:52 pmThey are KAs
13 years ago at 1:54 pmI believe they are Texas KA’s….well now Texas Omicrons.
13 years ago at 1:56 pmNearly 150 years old, probably something in the Lexington Triad
13 years ago at 1:56 pmKA, Pike, and sigma chi are all around 150 years old
13 years ago at 1:57 pmDon’t forget Sigma Nu
13 years ago at 2:00 pmpike
13 years ago at 2:00 pmKappa Alpha Order
13 years ago at 2:08 pmSigma Chi is over 150, so is Beta DKE Phi Delt, SAE. That being said they’re KA’s
13 years ago at 2:18 pmMy money’s on Texas Omicrons
13 years ago at 2:18 pmKA.
13 years ago at 2:20 pmI hope they’re KA’s; It’s the frat I respect most outside of my own.
13 years ago at 2:36 pmThey are KAs from Texas but not from the University of Texas.
13 years ago at 2:39 pmMy guess would either be KA or Phi Psi from Texas.
13 years ago at 3:05 pmKA or Phi Psi
13 years ago at 3:14 pmI think it would be hysterical if the founders of the website that lets everyone rip on Pike on a regular basis were Pikes themselves
13 years ago at 3:15 pmThey are Pikes from Texas
13 years ago at 3:19 pmThe two of them attended Texas State. One of them was a Psychology major. The other one was a Ginger.
13 years ago at 3:24 pmYes they are KA’s but not from UT
13 years ago at 3:27 pmFrat Dillon you’re an idiot, they did not go to state
13 years ago at 3:33 pmTexas Tux I provided a link to a website proving my statement but it was deleted. If you look around on twitter/google you can find the link I provided
13 years ago at 3:40 pmIt would be pretty funny if the creators of this site were Pikes.
13 years ago at 3:50 pmThe office is in Austin, so that would lead me to believe they went to UT. Now figure out which fraternities at UT have been around ~150 years.
13 years ago at 8:27 pmLet em’ stay bottled up. They’ve covered their ass pretty well…Grandex, TFM, Whiny Liberal, everything offers no clue to their identity more revealing than support@(site).com.
13 years ago at 10:36 pmReplace Sophie Horn with Natalie Gulbis and sign me up for that golf lesson and old fashioned
13 years ago at 1:54 pmI’d go for a tennis lesson and just the tip from Sharapova
13 years ago at 2:33 pm^or a full on ass sex session with Serena Williams
13 years ago at 9:32 amCan we get the air cleared about something each week?
13 years ago at 1:55 pm….assuming this becomes a weekly column, of course.
13 years ago at 1:55 pmSo we should be expecting the next one in 7 days, correct?
13 years ago at 1:58 pmI think it happens 1 out of 7 days of the week.
13 years ago at 2:01 pmNo, I’d prefer to get the air cleared every 7 days.
13 years ago at 2:03 pmI think it happens every other week and once in between.
13 years ago at 2:06 pmI believe it comes out every Wednesday, that seems to be the trend.
13 years ago at 3:01 pmNo, no, no.. you have it all mixed up. The column comes once every half fortnight.
13 years ago at 3:08 pmI can fit it into my schedule between tuesday and thursday
13 years ago at 3:11 pmIt’s actually becoming a bimonthly column. . .
13 years ago at 3:26 pmI would prefer to see it every other week.
13 years ago at 3:57 pmbi-monthly means every 2 months you dumb fuck
13 years ago at 4:15 pmSlow down, guys. Twice fortnightly is more than enough.
13 years ago at 4:27 pmhttp://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bimonthly
13 years ago at 5:54 pmClear air should be administered about twelve times every fourth of a year, with each clearing of the air separated by 7 days.
13 years ago at 6:34 pmI swear you idiots did this like seven days ago on a similiar column.
13 years ago at 9:49 pmI may or may have not read a similar column like this one exactly 7 days ago.
13 years ago at 1:56 pmNah I think that was something else… Oh wait, you’re right.
13 years ago at 1:57 pmNurse is better than cop
13 years ago at 1:57 pmFirefighter all the way.
13 years ago at 2:34 pmI’d have to go with Eve. Letting her taste the fruit is not forbidden
13 years ago at 2:37 pmSexy teacher. But not the public school kind. Like, the kind of sexy female teacher you’d find in a Catholic school. You know, a nun. An old, wrinkly nun. With a ruler. Wait, what?
13 years ago at 8:39 pmFuck yeah, D2 is the shit.
13 years ago at 2:02 pmAnd this guy who was on the phone, turns around and tips his hat like this.
13 years ago at 2:27 pmAnd who do you think it was?
EMILIO ESTEVEZ!
13 years ago at 2:37 pmThe Mighty Duck Man! I swear to god, I was there.
13 years ago at 2:45 pmOf course you were. You were the one who yelled the Breakfast Clubber’s name.
13 years ago at 4:52 pm“I’d probably walk around the crowd with a sack of hundreds, lighting them on fire individually and laughing like Dr. Evil.”
That was classic! lol
13 years ago at 2:03 pm^Do we really need a new troll?
13 years ago at 2:04 pmtalking to me or yourself?
13 years ago at 2:11 pmIf your stupid goddamn name didn’t, I think that inane question just answered itself.
13 years ago at 2:20 pmalright
13 years ago at 2:27 pmGlad that was settled so quickly.^
13 years ago at 2:38 pm^Do you enjoy being a geed? Serious question
13 years ago at 2:39 pmActually, I’ve always wanted to join a fraternity. I just felt like it was a little too late(im a sophmore), I’m paying for college myself(I go to UT) and I didn’t have the balls to go rush. If my situation was any different, I would have loved to take a part of it. The lifestyle and opportunities seem really bad ass, to be honest.
13 years ago at 2:55 pmAnd I thought the piker was bad. This troll is a horse of a different color gentleman.
13 years ago at 2:58 pm“TheGeed” it’s not really that late, all kidding aside. You can still go through rush. You still have time to get those benefits. And, if you are able to join a nice Fraternity then you gain a lifetime of brothers, and connections. at least go through rush, and see if anyone will give you a bid. you will regret not trying for the rest of your life.
13 years ago at 3:18 pm@runninginthewetgrass, that was the most civil reply I have ever seen a GDI/possible troll receive on this website.
13 years ago at 3:42 pm^ Really? You’re a chud.
13 years ago at 3:42 pm@TheGeed, afraid of Rush? You’re never going to make it. Seriously
13 years ago at 4:02 pmTheGeed, it’s not about having the balls to do it, it’s about the confidence. Assuming that you aren’t a troll, if you really have the guts to admit what you admitted in your comments then you should have the confidence to approach a house full of 100 men or so and get to know them during the next rush week.
It’ll be the best investment you ever made if you do it. There isn’t one person on this earth that regretted going Greek, but many GDIs regretted not doing it. Please don’t troll this site though, there is truly no need for it.
13 years ago at 9:15 pmI think civility may be the troll’s greatest weakness. They want us to get pissed. And this is a play for fraternity GENTLEMEN to have a good laugh and stay in touch with the overall greek community.
13 years ago at 10:45 pmfuck iceland!!
13 years ago at 2:23 pmFuck the slam on Team Iceland…twice
13 years ago at 8:46 amBeing a “cake eater”. TFM
