There’s an ex-courier called Mike who’s looking for employment.
Erm, incoming editor WHO?
Hah, whatevs Mikey. I’ma fight you for it.
ill fight u on t he vegetafighter forum
I’m plugging in my dial-up modem right now.
What about the vegeta fighter mods?!?!?!!!!!!!!!1
hire me i’m the best better than the rest
don’t listen to him he’s the fib master he’s master of fibs
37.5 hours? ….Really?
Good one, brunswick. You tell ‘em. Salient is all about the money.
Ahhhhhhhhh, I think you’ll be needing a nub column with me, Liam Nub, called The Nub of the Green.
I think it’s fair to say that anyone applying for one of the paid positions will find themselves working at least twice the hours they’re paid for. That’s just the Salient game for you.
I don’t remember working. I remember swivelling on my chair and making fun of the A-Team.
Kia ora, healthy people, kia ora.
As long as Ella f*cking Smellington and her fagarse Fashion on Campus don’t make it back, I don’t care if Blanket man gets a paid position. Sweet Gandhi knows he needs it more than her
fashion on campus makes me feel all grubby like my clothes are too clownshoes to wear in public
it also makes me think vic uni is full of people who’ve stepped through a worm hole from the 1940s
smackdown, your thoughts?
my fav shirt is my beatles revolver shirt thats the best shirt
Ella wore crocs all through high school. Truly. Her opinion means nothing. I think all us dirty, poor, and slightly pungent students look pretty fucking fantastic most days. Fuck alternative dress codes. You all look retarded. I mean, what the shit? Did you just step out of the TARDIS?
Note: Dr Who is actually kind of cool but I’m just saying you all look like morons.
Ella has an impeccable eye for style. You just don’t know any better.
Muahaha, Mikey will never know of my secret plan to take over his position by bribing Sarah with bubbly chocolate … Oops!
Also Mikey, you fail for excessive puncutation marks!!!!!!!!!!!
and I fail for misspelling punctuation …
zOMG I wonder who “Fashionista” is?

Dear Ms Robson
I am presently the distinguished Poet Laureate of Craccum.
With this position comes
A great deal of responsibility, I supply
Nearly all of the poetry for the magazine
Though this is usually only one item a week
And it is always in acrostic, I would
Not belittle the role. In
Addition to supplying
Culture and other sorts of stuff, I have also
Replaced film reviews, Exec reports and
One article about Barry
Soper with acrostic poems, occasionally
To the delight of the
International students in particular who read
Craccum, I know this
Cause Rosabel Tan wrote a fan letter
Once, about my poetry. Anyway, I understand you may be
Loathe to accept tips from the second best
University magazine in the country, but I
Must implore you to consider
Next year appointing a poet laureate
Kind regards
E J Brownlee Esq.
guess nobody wants to write for sloan huh
If you have any enquiries about Ed Brownlee’s abilities I am more than happy to provide a reference.
ps. i will be your photographer if you pay me in candy and cheerios.
Ahhhhhh Hellooo. I’m keen to write news.;dfk’dsljkdskjdsg
sorry I keep dripping sweat on my keyboard.pasdofjsdfsdfwhcih keeps shorting out.
Also my mental problemasofhsdofafsdho mean that I appear to be a nub.
Wow comrade Sarah do Salient writers get paid? Up here in Auckland our only payment is to feel special when we see our name in Craccum.
