Professor Jones will be happy to evaluate up to three female escort services majors after the seminar.
ReplyDeleteThe Tri Delts have their own major?
DeleteA bowl of M&Ms with all the brown ones removed?
ReplyDeleteThey later admitted that the brown M&M thing was a test. If the bowl had any brown M&M's, it was a sign that the folks at the venue hadn't read the instructions carefully and couldn't be trusted on the important items that were in there.
DeleteThe Foo Fighters demand fresh underwear, presumably for the same reason. Or maybe because they thought it'd be funny.
DeleteGoogle Jack White's rider from OU a few years ago; it included a recipe on how to make guacamole.
ReplyDeleteMan, I thought I already had enough reasons to dislike that guy.
DeleteTo be fair, that guacamole sounds really good.
DeleteRaw yellow onion? Make it red and I'll start listening.
DeleteIIRC, Iggy Pop circulated a rider with explanatory notes for all of the requests. A lot of them started to make sense after reading the explanations.
ReplyDeleteBut I love Prof. Jones' request for an illegal-to-sell-in-US laser pointer.
Reminds me of Al Jourgensen and his mandatory case of Coronas. If you see Ministry live, you might think the fence in front of the stage is to protect the band. It's actually to protect the audience.

Well, he is a Jackass editor, so you've got to treat him well. Although I think the last time I saw Jones give a talk at an ACS meeting, only about 50-70 people showed up. That was before he became an editor though.
