Child porn may be the $20,000,000,000 industry, but “‘Italian-sounding’ products now rake in some six billion dollars in sales while the genuine articles only make about two billion dollars”. So what is an “Italian-sounding” product? The article focuses mostly on fake sauces & cheeses with alliterative ire: The USA is now churning out 1.7 million [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2006 Kansas City Royals: Outfielder Shane Costa was scratched before the game when he experienced an allergic reaction after eating two doughnuts that apparently contained soy. “My whole body turned red,†he said, “and my face was swollen. Then I took some Benadryl and spent the game sleeping (in the clubhouse).†[...]

I’ve been too busy lately to do my usual bang-up blogging. Haven’t noticed the difference? Won’t fool me again… or whatever the quote of shame is. Irregardless, Wednesday I did do the double whammy of a Sarah Vowell reading and Will Sheff concert. Spotted at the packed reading: local writers Daniel Handler and Andrew Sean [...]

The Omaha World-Herald reports {bugmenot}: The 1999 study, which was headed by the University of Florida, showed steroids in the surface water and increased testosterone levels in female minnows, “masculinizing” them. That study also found that male fathead minnows had less testosterone and smaller testes than fish upstream. Terry Mader, a beef specialist at the [...]

Why the article [bugmenot] does not mention AT&T’s infamous “reach around and touch someone” is beyond me. Sometimes an ad misses the point, though, like when McDonald’s promoted its double cheeseburger with the pop-talk phrase “I’d hit it,” and only found out once the ads were on TV that that meant “I’d have sex with [...]

Back in the motherland, an angler hooked a fish with two mouths. The article includes this semi-disturbing line: “He has plans for the fish, which don’t included mounting.” Three guesses what his plans are (and the first two don’t count).

I’d like to thank Slate for giving me something to dream about: "I grow weary of your sexually suggestive dancing," he says. "Bring me my ranch-dressing hose!" Within seconds, the women are blasting him with a geyser of gooey ranch. (In a pinch, I often substitute Nacho Cheez in the official BMK ranch-dressing horse)
