A Real American Hero

A man desperate for Milwaukee Brewers home opener tickets has constructed a house in Miller Park's parking lot. The house is 8-foot-by-8-foot wooden structure with a pitched roof, a door that locks, two windows, an electric outlet, two light fixtures, and carpeting. He plans to survive on "brats, subs and beer for lunch and dinner." Brewers tickets or not, this man sounds like a stand-up guy. He has put way more dedication and effort into something he truly believes in: Brewers, brats, and beer. Hopefully, this story will get big-just like all the other odd things Wisconsin gets mentioned in the national news for.

I Won't Tell No One Your Name

While talking with a friend about Quaker Steak and Lube's new downtown location she asked "how are they going to fit that there, it doesn't seem like there's enough room." Enough room? Enough room for what? It turns out, this restaurant savvy friend thought Quaker Steak and Lube offered a bite to eat and an oil change while you wait. And while QSL offers atomic chicken wings and has actually trademarked something called "The Lubeburger® , you cannot stop there every 3,000 miles and expect someone to give you one of those new stickers on the inside of your windshield.

Here are other names that could be confusing to this friend or others:

3. Jack in the Box: No guys named Jack in boxes. I looked.

2. Blackmarket: This market offers a variety of colors.

1. Pantyhose: These would be really strange and kinda scary if taken literally.

Even Out in the End

Today I had a pretty successful day securing some funding for All-Campus Party. But before you start celebrating, you should know I also fell off my stairs this morning, landed on the sidewalk, and scraped my knee.

You Spin Me Right Round Baby

The Pizzazz makers really messed up when marketing their product. An entire appliance with one purpose? I have very little counter space and I would be more likely to buy something if it had more than one use. Like five uses.

5. Pizza Bagel Maker: similar to pizza, only in bagel form. No need to find a pan (or wash one)

4. Chicken Nugget Baker: fast, delicious, gets crunchy (unlike the microwave)

3. Grilled Cheese Fryer: never tried it, but I bet it would work

2. Fish Sticks: see Chicken Nuggets

1. Scar Producer: really, look at my roommate's arm. That flesh sizzling wound isn't going away for years
