We Regret These Errors

The year in mistakes, embarrassments, and misjudgments.

In the September 16 issue of The Pioneer, the headline under the Letter from the Editor read “The Pio is awesome.” That shit’s just unprofessional. We regret the error. However, we do not regret being awesome.

We regret mistakenly printing the number of senators as  102 in the Front Page Info-graphic in the November 4 issue. With the number of politics majors on staff, that’s just embarrassing.

Editors-in-Chief Molly Smith and Derek Thurber regret that The Pioneer‘s staff training focused more on how to access and request government documents and less on how to actually write an article.

The Advertising staff regrets that they can no longer provide readers with the ever-so tasteful Red Monkey ads.

We regret the blatant misspellings and the tacky pinstripes in the Food Mart ads. Even our writers know that curry is not spelled curray.

The Pioneer Editors regret signing our   volunteer contracts.

The Pioneer‘s Production staff  regrets every Wednesday night.   We apologize profusely to the professors of our Thursday morning classes.

Given the high number of off-campus houses with stripper poles, we regret that we don’t have one in our office.

We regret that the sophomore who boasted of masturbating in the Allen Reading Room didn’t cum forward sooner.

Managing Editor Alyssa Fairbanks and Production Manager Maggie Appleton regret monopolizing The Pioneer “Slut of the Week Award.” However, they do not regret sharing their stories at 2 a.m. on Thursday morning.

News Editor Rachel Alexander regrets that Co-News Editor Josh Goodman knows all of the words to Ke$ha’s “We R Who We R.”

Editor-in-Chief Molly Smith regrets the sing-a-long to “We R Who We R” in the office during the “Jack Issue Writing Party.” She does not regret the fact that she, along with five other staffers, spent a Friday night in the office writing jokes.

We regret the quality of these jokes.

Webmaster Rebecca Fish regrets the ad for our website in the February 17 issue which jokingly read “Please don’t hack us.” We were kind of serious. Please don’t.

The Pioneer regrets hoarding extra Jack in the Box coupons in our office in an attempt to score free food. They didn’t even work at the Jack in the Box in Walla Walla. Fuck that shit.

We regret that our Circulation Assistants don’t wear safety vests while distributing the paper around campus.

Senior Copy Editor Jenna Mukuno does not regret calling Opinion Editor Gary Wang, Wary Gang.

Web Editor Ellie Gold regrets that Walla Walla is technically considered an “urban” area.

Editors-in-Chief Molly Smith and Derek Thurber regret their lack of a social life as a result of working on The Pioneer.

A&E Editor CJ Wisler   regrets asking Ted if he was in theater in high school when he was just, as he put it, “extremely homosexual.” She also regrets any awkwardness caused by comments made about her own marvelous breasts, including this one.

We do not regret taking shots out of our “Best of Show” trophy. We won that shit, bitchez.

News Editor Rachel Alexander regrets that she can’t “crank it” better. However, her ability to “dougie” has improved significantly this semester.

We regret that you probably aren’t reading this.
