Flunk Day 2016

Want to join in the fun?

But don't know how? Visit the new How to edit the wikifire page for a quick rundown of the steps for how to edit this (and any other) page!

But seriously, the more contributors we have, the more fun it gets. No matter how crazy your theory or evidence (or lack thereof), we want to hear it. More activity equals more hype, and more hype equals a better Flunk for all.

Long ago in a galaxy far far away...

"If people don't play in the mud pit next year, I'm not donating to Knox... I will be withholding all ten of my dollars... Apparently there were a combination of factors that caused its downfall [in 2015]. But as our nation's first president, Bruce Springsteen, once said, 'maybe everything that dies someday comes back.'" - Roger Taylor

The Flunk Awakens?

[4:20pm] Praise it. Blaze it. Easter Flunk.

Tuesday, March 29

Too early for Flunk? I say it's NEVER too early to Flunk <-- CONFIRMED, Flunk Day is tomorrow

[7:41pm] Lights spotted still on in the Campus Life office long after all other offices are closed. Making last minute preparations or just putting in extra hours to prepare for an early Flunk this year? THIs COuLD BE HUgE

Wednesday, March 30th

The Flunk Gods have smiled down upon us. With tonight's wonderful rainstorms, tomorrow there will be wonderful MUD!!! Portents of things (and pits) to come? I think so!!

Seniors heard turning up all night in Hamblin on a weeknight. Do they know something we don't?

Saturday, April 2nd

[1:40 PM] Kati Stemple overheard telling her parents what Flunk Day is. Secret Planners? <-- Confirmed. Entirely a planner, less than secret. <--The joke explained: Her parents are secret planners.

Sunday, April 3rd

A wild blood splatter has been spotted in Seymour Union. Zombie blood? The flunk is upon us! Picture: http://oi65.tinypic.com/339rpqr.jpg Another "wiped out" splatter found on the path towards the library. THIS IS HUGE!!!!!!!!! -> http://oi63.tinypic.com/2qwfslg.jpg

Tuesday, April 5th

[5:17 PM] Travis spotted in the Gizmo, and back from his Honeymoon. You know Flunk Day could never happen without him...

Thursday, April 7th

Matt Sugai noted a spike in respiratory illnesses on campus this week. ...or are they simple respiratory illnesses? <-- Zombification beginning? This could be HUGE <--- PDS (Partially Deceased Syndrome) anyone?

Monday, April 11th

Ren Barkey's cat [SMore] is almost done with her heat, Flunk Day can't happen until SMore gets better.

I found this place http://www.fwworld.com/newattractions.html that has all kinds of flunk equipment. Somebody give them a call to ask about their delivery to Knox College and ask about the date!

Tuesday, April 12

Seniors are changing their profile photos to embrace the Flunk? Will it be upon us soon???? <-- CONFIRMED Annie Ford, Rohail Khan, Flunk Day planner Kati Stemple (!!), and many more are changing over!

Elise Goitia spotted in Caf carrying a water gun. Perhaps arming herself for a huge Flunk Day water fight against a horde of strange hydrophobic zombies???

Becky Benner rescued a baby squirrel from being attacked by a larger, older squirrel yesterday afternoon, sustaining scratches in the process. Today, she's not feeling so well. Squirrels can transmit rabies, and the rabies virus is the basis for the Rage Virus of the 28 Days Later franchise... ZOMBIFICATION CONFIRMED. THIS COULD BE HUGE!

Today's Kati Stemple's birthday, so she's not doing homework today. Flunk Tomorrow?

Could this be a sign that the flunk is upon us?! https://www.facebook.com/okmagazineuk/videos/vb.100276386686649/1004237359623876/?type=2&theater <--CONFIRMED!!

UB seniors getting turnt off campus--getting ready for tomorrow?

No Flunk Day, but the first Flunk Scare! Incidentally, this year's first Flunk Scare occurred on the one year anniversary of last year's first Flunk Scare!

Mudpit gains sentience, starts Facebook account apparently? Check it out: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011678748903

Friday, April 15th

Last Admitted Students Day - All dates from here on out are fair game <-- Flunk Day has happened on Admitted Students Day before. Tomorrow is always Flunk Day. Never lose hope. The velociraptors will catch you otherwise. <--- tru <--- But it's also a Friday. They would be breaking a lot of cardinal rules of the Flunk for it to be on this day.

For the last 3 years, Deb Southern has emailed students about Flunk Day information. I don't see it straying from this trend this year. <-- Didn't you get the memo? The velociraptors will catch you if you lose hope

There have been an unsettling number of cats in the business of making kittens spotted on campus. Could it be hormones in the food? Chemtrails? Or maybe ...the flunk approaches?

Monday, April 18th

10:43 PM: is it tomorrow?

Tuesday, April 19th

[1:13 PM] THE FLUNK INFORMATION EMAIL HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN SENT. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT - THE FLUNK EMAIL HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY SENT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL <-- this happened on monday not tuesday i hope you didn't think today was tuesday the whole day

Wednesday, April 20th

1. confirmed

[1] <-- Source?? Clearer picture?? It's so small I can't read almost any of it. 20th? 26th? Can't tell.

Kati Stemple pissed that the schedule leaked <--CONFIRMED!

UPS driver mentions that "Flunk Day must be coming up pretty soon," has knowing smile.

They honestly can't expect college students to not open any windows or doors on 4/20. Cover-up for Flunk Day? [2]

[5:07] The schedule from this entry was posted to Yik Yak not long ago, but it has come down incredibly quickly... Planners covering their tracks?? THIS COULD BE HUGE

[6:45] the flunk day schedule from here is back up on Yik Yak

Someone go check Walmart and the hotel parking lots for trucks <--There were trucks! CONFIRMED! <-- Were they Entertainment Avenue trucks? Cuz there are always trucks. The question is if they're the RIGHT trucks. <-- Confirmed. Saw white trucks, unmarked. THIS IS HUGE.

[9:13 PM] Union Board Seniors and the junior Secret Flunk Day Planner are having their "weekly dinner". Flunk Day tomorrow. <--CONFIRMED

[10:59] On the way to check hotel parking lots, it was discovered that a section of south street is closed for construction between Prairie and Kellogg. Could be because of the new art building, but more importantly this is #suspicious.

[11:08] Just got conformation that the road block is due to a 6 foot deep hole in the road being dug up, from the bottom to the top. Could the construction of the new art building have been zoned a top a lost grave site? Has the promise of a building specific to art students awoken something terrifying and malicious in the corpses that lay beneath? Are the zombies angered that when they were art majors, they didn't get a building entirely to themselves? Only time will tell, but our answers will come soon.

[11:25] flunk watch: Yik yak is blowing up with posts about flunk day

Mail room lights are on! Flunk day confirmed?

Can I get a hooyaah? <-- HOOYAAH

[12:28] Dog spotted in Hamblin. Because no pet owner wants their dog to miss out on the impending Flunk

Thursday, April 21st

[8:34 PM] Senior UB member Hanh Bui and Jazmine Kenny, roommate of Flunk planner Kati Stemple, spotted with friends drinking and discussing the glories of 4/20. Could they be preparing for a flunky Thursday?

Freshman are being driven around by upperclassmen to get their first stashes. They can sense it in their fresh blood.

[8:48 PM] Hanh Bui, senior UB member, seen making drinks for friends to start the Flunk season off right. "Flunk day is tomorrow" as she is chugging a mixed drink.

[8:55 PM] "I need to buy an air horn. I need to buy a FUCKING AIR HORN." --Jazmine Kenny

Yik Yak has spoken: "The mud pit demands a virgin sacrifice!!!!!!!!!" [3] <-- And here is our glorious pit at dawn. Still a bit small, but well-churned and awaiting it's sacrifice

[9:32 PM] Campus has been entirely too quiet and not smelly enough for a proper 4/20... everyone saving it all up for tomorrow?

[10:49 PM] Belligerently drunk humans heard attempting (and failing) to shout their excitement about Flunk Day to the heavens. Or at least that's what I assume they were shouting - very few real words appeared to be used.

[11:19 PM] Jazmine Kenny and Hanh Bui AND Hyunjin Jung (Senior Class President) seen getting drunken snacks and fueling up for the impending flunk??

Friday, April 22nd

Earth Day Flunk Day? <-- Predictions of an early Flunk abound, so perhaps. Also, what's better for the Earth than all of those lovely, decomposing Zombie bodies? <--But are they organic? <-- Are they gluten free? <--- Are they vegan? <--- What does a vegan zombie say? GRRRAAAAAAAAIIINNNSSS...

wtf you guys its not going to be on a Friday. <-- Flunk Day is always tomorrow. If you say otherwise, the zombies will get you

Via Facebook: "When is Flunk Day? :D" - Matt Sugai <--- "Tomorrow." - Cassie McLaughlin <--- EARTH DAY/FRIDAY FLUNK CONFIRMED!

Tevin Liao, mailroom spy extraordinaire, reported that several massive boxes arrived today for Travis. They were never processed by the mailroom because Travis swooped in an snuck them out the back door right away. Sounds like Flunk goodies!!! As far as a next-week Flunk Day, THIS COULD BE HUGE

[5:51] I'm pretty sure it wasn't today... but I just regained consciousness from my 4/20 escapades so I might have missed it. HOLY CRAP WAS IT YESTERDAY!?!

Monday, April 25th

Shirt sales wrapped up on Friday, and the Flunk goodies likely came in on the same day - Early Monday Flunk?

YO! CLASS OF 2016! STEP UP YOUR GAME!!! YOU CALL THOSE PITIFUL ATTEMPTS FLUNK DAY SCARES!?! WEAK!!! <-- Well today is going to be flunk day or there is gonna be a massive scare... so...

Monday Flunk won't happen. Too many concerns about people partying from Sunday into Monday. The theme is Zombies not alcohol poisoning! <-- Has happened on a Monday before, and it works because very few people anticipate it. This doesn't rule it out. <--- Its been either monday or Wednesday for the past few years, I'm pretty sure a Monday flunk is pretty predictable. SAME GOES FOR YOU WEDNESDAY the 27th!!!

Flunk day is gonna be on the 26th! I KNOW FOR SURE! SOMEONE MAKE A ENTRY FOR THAT DAY! IDK HOW!!! :'( <-- your wish has been granted

Planner Cassie McLaughlin showed me her Flunk jug! She says she can't wait to use it, but will not confirm a Flunk Day this week!

Literally heard her say "this is supposed to be confidential, everything is ruined!" also she was carrying a bag from the quickie <---- it's the Flunk Day issue from two years ago. We have extras in the pub office. This year's issue is still confidential. <--- PICS OF THE NEW ISSUE OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

No chance it's going to be Tuesday, it's housing day. <-- You guys really think that can't be rescheduled?? It's run by the same office in charge of Flunk Day

[8:52 PM] There's a whole lot more whooping and hollering in Hamblin than a normal Monday night...

Wednesday, April 27th

There are predictions of early Flunk, and this date is close to the past three years' dates but not overlapping - looks pretty likely...

Looked at the event calendar and there is nothing on this day aside from pre-enrollment and a club meeting. Of even more interest is the fact that block housing is on the 26th only - doesn't block usually go for two days... Very suspicious<- Block was one day last year- Not confirming this date <----CONFIRMED LETS FLUNK!!!

I have a friend who managed to get in touch with Dolores O'Riordan (the lead singer of the Cranberries) she said that it was not out of the realm of possibility that they would be performing there hit song for Knoxies on this day. <--- CONFIRMED my cousin is seeing them live in Wisconsin on Sunday the 24th! The band is in the area!

This is both Rup and Cough Kid's prediction. It must be true. <----- The Rup-inator has been accurately predicting the 'Day of Flunk' for almost a decade if this isn't the best evidence of a Wednesday Flunk idk what is...

tamott spotted with lizard posse. mating season disturbed by the upcoming flunk.

No events planned for this day! None that can't be canceled at least!

I just started dating this really cute undead girl. Yeah Warm Bodies style don't judge! She said that the rest of her horde would be arriving sometime midweek. So yeah Night of the Living Flunk is going to be on this day.

Junior Riya Tiwari tweeted saying flunk day is this day and proceeded to delete it immediately so I TRUST HER? <----confirmed but why would she know? <========CONSPIRACY OR HUGE

Flunk Day Planner Kati Stemple seen huddled in a dark corner of Seymour Library Murmuring "I will not get weird, I will not get weird" Many Knox partiers such as Stemple drink on Wednesdays, titling the party night "weird Wednesday." IT IS A SIGN. <-------- OK, but to be fair she does that basically every Monday evening.

Thursday, April 28th

Flunk Day 2014. With all the rampant predictions of an early Flunk, could we be seeing a repeat performance? If so, we must get to hyping before it's too late.

Rumor has it that planner Kati Stemple received a twin camouflage air mattress from sender "FLUNK DAY IS TOMORROW." Extra bed for a Surprise guest? flunk Day must be near. <--- CONFIRMED

Walked by some of the offices in Old Main and over heard the staff talking loudly. The words I was able to pick up was "flunk day , "April 28th", "funds", and "Teresa". <-- Pics (or recordings) or it didn't happen

Seasoned alumni confirm this to be the day of Flunk

Friday, April 29th

This was Flunk Day last year.

It's Emma Downing's birthday. Emma predicted that flunk day would be 4/29 last year. This year too? <-- It's also national dance day!

"Flunk Day is definitely going to be on my birthday." --Oracular prediction from Emma Downing.

Sunday, May 1st

This was Flunk Day 2013. Good for predictive purposes, and perhaps indicating the Tuesday the 3rd?

Monday, May 2nd

This date went a long time without an entry...

The only thing listed on the online menus for this day is 'Meatless Monday.' Epic Flunk fakeout?

Tuesday, May 3rd

Pretty likely date - close to previous years' dates, and late enough to let the weather get nice

Wednesday, May 4th

Will the Flunk be on May the 4th in honor of the Theme That Should Have Been: The Flunk Awakens? The Force is strong in the Flunk and it says May 4th.

Hanh Bui, senior UB member and self-proclaimed "Flunk Queen" predicts the Flunk will come. Her stash is kept in her far-away Palace with a sticky note on it that says "May 4th." <----------CONFIRMED

Thursday, May 5th

Ahh the long awaited Cinco de Flunko - will it finally be upon us?

This is also the only (viable week)day aside from the 27th within the normal two week period with no events on the calendar aside from pre-enrollment and club meetings. The signs are looking good

Monday, May 9th

"No need for the wikifire. It's May 9th." - Jonathan Powers

Last Year's Flunk

Flunk Day 2015
