BACON = Miracle food even more miraculous than previously thought
Posted in Food, tagged bacon, hangovers, miracle cure on April 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yes, I’m sure it’s news to none of you that bacon is the finest, tastiest food known to mankind. (and if it is news, well, now you know.) But news out of Northern England last month, from Newcastle University’s Center For Life, is that it has scientifically been proven that bacon is a miracle cure [...]

Yeah, I know – there’s about a million YouTube clips of tweaked out machines playing robo versions of popular music. But this one was so totally rad that I had to share. Original post at The Walrus. And thank you, Justin Snow at Anti-Gravity Bunny, for the Tweet.

Last weekend, Sophie and I embarked on a four-day, TLOS expense account-draining road trip that led us from Boston through scenic New York (upstate, central, and western; it’s not all upstate, people – look at a damn map!), Pennsylvania’s famed “chimney” region, and our final destination: Oberlin, Ohio.

So yeah, it’s that time of year. And though I claim to be movie crazy, I’ve missed so many flicks in the theater in the last year that the last flick in the theater I saw may just have been the very dissappointing Quantum Of Solace. But it doesn’t mean I don’t *want* to go [...]
