Jen Austin — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 13:03:46 +0000

It's opening day for most Major League Baseball teams, and it's time to talk about the important baseball things; like the food!

Have you tried that $26 hot dog at the Texas Rangers' stadium? That hot dog dubbed the "Boomstick," is a 2-foot-long beef hot dog, smothered in chili, nacho cheese, jalapenos and caramelized onions on a potato bun. Even if you break it down into 6-inch portions and share it with your buddies, that monster still costs $6.50 per person.

Tad Dorgan coined the “hot dog” phrase back in 1901, where the story is told, that at a baseball game in New Yok (that’s the way most New Yorker’s pronounce it), Dorgan could hear the vendors shouting “get your dachshund sausages while they’re red hot”. He simply traded “dachshund” for “hot dog”. According to the hot [...]

The 'ACSI' and How It Affects Us Daily

Rick St. Nick — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:26:39 +0000

Didn't even know there was such a thing as ACSI. An acronym for the "Atrociously Complex Sexual Inhibitions" index. Be very aware that you and I are likely a part of this statistic at least once monthly!

Now I know you're scratching your head. Me too! W-w-w-w-w-ait just a moment. Do you remember the old Saturday Night Live episodes featuring Gilda Radner as "Rose Anne Rosanna Dana"? At the conslusion of her commentary skit, when she always used to say NEVER MIND? Well, NEVER MIND. I need to perform a do-over...sorry.

Rick St. Nick — Tue, 08 May 2012 14:08:27 +0000

This is one of those sidebar stories that simply tickles the funny bone, rather I should say, the "Chicken Bone".

I was at Wal-Mart in Center one night, and felt like some chicken for dinner. It was about 7:30pm. Upon approaching the deli counter I noticed there was no hot chicken. Went to the "cold" station (where they have potato salad, coleslaw, etc.) only to have my pallet shattered when not a chicken was to be found. Bewildered, I asked the nice woman behind the counter, "Where's the chicken tonight?"
