Call Me Dr. Hook
With one swift motion, Dr. Hook grabbed a baby goat by the back of the neck with one hand while the other crushed the testicles of the young animal. “You can pet him you want,” he said. “He wont bite you now. I’m gonna put a ring around his nuts to keep him from fuckin’ around.
UPN’s Jake 2.0 Offers Harmless Techno-Fluff for Your Enjoyment
What to say of Jake 2.0, a mostly undistinguished program which sits in one of the most competitive time slots in all of television – 8 p.m. on Wednesday? One could say that it’s a pleasant enough diversion, not terribly taxing on the brain. One could also add that it offers a charming cast, led by veteran bit player Christopher Gorham, that grows on one while the show fills out its hour with spy adventures that seem positively whimsical.
Matchstick Men Matches Up
How much you enjoy Matchstick Men will largely depend on how much you buy Nicolas Cage’s performance as an obsessive-compulsive con artist. If you think his long series of tics add up to a compelling performance, you’ll be happy to find it while watching TV late at night for years to come.
What’s Old Is New Again
The term “garage rock” is big. New groups like the White Stripes, Hives, Vines, Strokes, etc. are all labeled “garage.” They’re in fashion magazines and pop-culture regards them as cool. There’s only one problem: they should have stayed in the garage longer and learned to play better.
Young Mr. Steckelberg lives through New York blackout
OK, so I didn’t cause the Blackout this summer…I think. But I did have a good time “surviving” this ordeal. We as Americans are funny. It really hasn’t been that long since we didn’t use electricity for anything. Now we depend on it to do everything.
Undeserving celebrities draw columnist’s scorn
My husband always accuses me of hating everyone. I know for a fact that this happens to be patently untrue. At any given time there are dozens of people that I don’t completely hate. For instance, I like my husband. I like my mom. So obviously, I don’t hate everyone.
Letter to the Editor
Advice for sex columnist I am writing in response to the poor boy who thinks his girlfriend is “faking it”. (He wrote to the sex columnist this past week). See, I too vounteered for the sex columnist’s position, but it was felt someone else would do a better job.
“Home” more than a location
Many readers are experiencing their first experience of living away from their parent’s home, while many others find themselves migrating around the world to further their education, and away from culture. Yet have you ever really thought about the question of where “home” is? Is it the place where you physically reside, or is it a spiritual place or feeling? For many this place of spiritual comfort may be their house of faith.
Gov’t has problem with promises
Since I teach social studies methods, I kid myself that anything that I read about that pops up in the news is somehow job-related. In this spirit, I read last week that Idi Amin had died. He wasn’t a loss, having caused significant harm to large numbers of people during his misrule of Uganda, but his death made me think how geography and history intersect to make the world worse than it has to be.

Think the Market is overcrowded over your noon hour? Tired of waltzing all the way downstairs to see what the UPC is up to this week? Volstorff Ballroom just not big enough for your spiffy annual events? Well, dear reader, you are in luck! With a new set of plans for the new University Student Union reviewed by campus groups last week, SDSU is one step closer to righting whatever wrongs the current facility has.
