“Most gelati are of the dairy persuasion. Some, however, are water-based. Paciugo stocks a few of these at a time (for those watching their fat intake, or the lactose-intolerant), and it was from this section that I selected lime chia.
Yes, chia. As in the pet.
Who knew that chia is utilized much like flaxseed, as an omega-3 supplement? Not me, that’s for sure. I was expecting to...

I’m eager to learn how to help distressed motorists AND prepare for the Grand Theft Auto reality show, but the gig almost sounds too good to be true!

Saul Williams double-knots his Nikes, profit →
Saul Williams… allowed consumers to select a free digital download or pay $5 for a higher quality version of the album. The result was a larger share of smaller sales. Williams sold 154,449 copies in roughly two months, with 28,322 of those copies being the $5 higher quality version. Then Nike called. After Nike used “List of Demands,” a song from Williams’ self-titled...

Tomatoes plague coastie hair care
“I’m all disheveled now, without the tomato salsa and all”
At the State Street Chipotle, the salmonella scare take its toll, and a UW-Madison student struggles to complete her burrito bowl.
UW seeks blogger →
“This position will be high-profile, so this person must be able to reflect the missions of Wisconsin Public Radio and the University of Wisconsin as a responsible, informed ambassador….”
Could totally swing that for some health insurance, and a mass deletion of past posts, though I imagine UW HR isn’t so malleable on the matter of degreelessness as your average...

Murs adds letter E to name, to become Murse, the first rapper handbag. (That one never got much further than that. We just thought it would be funny to say that Slug would literally be carrying Murs for the next Felt album). [SOG]

SEO Appetizer: Hastings Cameron lived in Wisconsin...
Hastings Cameron interviewed Neeta Saluja re: her book Six Spices: A Simple Concept of Indian Cooking for the Onion’s Madison A.V. Club. The Q&A’s mostly about “gastric discontent” and exploding pressure cookers. “If it sits too long, they’ll run out of sugar and cannibalize themselves.” Last summer, Hastings Cameron binged on wheat beers and sort of...

Punks don't need 3M to Post-it
“He’s in on it. He has something for you. Some drugs. I need you to go pick them up.

Out August ‘08 via featherproof; bought early @ The Dollar $tore.

WatchLast Sunday was probably the first time I’ve paid to go to Second City, rather than duck into a free improv set. Yet the performers were such amateurs they had two “ringers” warm up the laugh track—by which I of course mean my friend’s class performed with two others, and the $2 was recouped via some laughs* more sincere than those heard above. Dunno if this...
