I thought we could end the year of “Fridays Are For One Question” on the blog here with a bang. Prepare, therefore, to learn how hot dogs are made: Gross. But I’m probably still going to eat hot dogs. In fact, on average, the American will eat over 50 hot dogs next year. So my [...]

Last week, we had some truly great answers for the question on the blog as we together reviled certain holiday music. Seems like there’s pretty unanimous agreement that we would be okay if we never heard “Baby It’s Cold Outside” or “Santa Baby” ever again. Let’s flip to the other side of the spectrum today, [...]

To be truthful, I asked this question last year too. However, I still think it’s worth posing, especially given my affinity for Christmas music. And my disdain for bad Christmas music.

The Takabisha roller coaster at Japan’s Fuji-Q Highland amusement park boasts a 140-foot, 121° drop, making it the current record holder for steepest roller coaster in the world. I almost threw up watching this from my desk: But you probably didn’t. You probably immediately got on Expedia to see how cheaply you could fly to [...]

The Texas State Fair is the stuff of legends. Every fall, thousands upon thousands of people gather around The Cotton Bowl for the festivities. And along the way, they get fat. Almost all of them. Mainly because one of the things the fair is known for is their creative commitment to Deep Fried Food. Here’s [...]

This is a mole: It’s a hideous creature, one that I hate with every fiber of my being. That’s because these little guys (and it could be a whole colony for all I know) have criss-crossed my yard with their tunnels. Moles feast in our neighborhood because of the good soil that’s full of nutrients [...]
