\Are you a cop?"" one guy asked me, and I'm not really sure if he was kidding. I assured him I was not and was then welcomed to the group and invited to stay for dinner.
Shaun can barely contain his excitement about his recent discovery of www.dailycardinal.com. This is great news for Shaun, who never leaves home without his precious Mac laptop. He may be a computer nerd, but he will never miss a day of the best news on campus. Now he can type his homework, listen to iTunes, chat on AIM, Facebook-stalk and read ""Mondays with Jay"" simultaneously. This might sound impossible, but this kid can easily pull it off.
When it comes to politics, I'm like a bear wading out into a mighty river in search of salmon. Generally, I avoid the turbulent depths of the political news cycle, but every now and again I wander out in search of nourishment and attempt to snag some understanding of current affairs.
I have a rough life. As ""the food guy,"" I'm constantly offered free food, hounded to taste a yummy cake and bribed with delicious treats. But when it comes to relationships, cramming your face doesn't exactly make them come running. But why should I change who I am for some girl?

Since the prospects of an 18-year- old upsetting a senior, 10-term Congressman (who also happens to be two heartbeats from the presidency) in a district so conservative it makes Rush Limbaugh look like Karl Marx, it seemed rather unlikely. I tabled the idea until further notice.
Right now, being a sports columnist is like being Anttaj Hawthorne at Nate Newton's house. It's like being Marv Albert at Victoria's Secret. It's even like being Razor Ramon at a toothpick store.
About this time of year, you long for summer.

The Farmers' Market may feature locally grown delectables, but some UW-Madison students have found that nothing is more satisfying than the crunch of a handpicked apple.
Imagine a world that comes with its own soundtrack, where it takes not much more effort than a single thought to hear anyone's voice and a box that sits in your room can answer almost any inquiry or satisfy any curiosity that may come to mind.
If you're thinking about school, between writing papers, cramming for tests and weeping silently into bowls of ramen, most students are not likely to be spending much free time in front of a computer screen chatting on AOL Instant Messenger.
The Plaza Tavern is Madison's answer to Cheers. It has a strong cadre of regulars that love its friendly atmosphere—including the bartenders that gently persuade patrons to get the fuck out!\ at bartime. While many of the city's bouncers turn belligerent at 2 a.m., the Plaza staff's bellows are laced with love. The bar has a wealth of cheap drink specials including the popular Thursday $2 Long Island. A solid selection of beers is at patrons' disposal and cheap pints abound. Poor and thirsty? For a mere $4, a large half-pitcher of beer makes the drinker feel like Paul Bunyan clutching a water tower full of ale.
A Golden DucatGaming has undoubtedly been one of the great joys of my life. It has been with me from the time I was little and got my first Nintendo for my birthday, up to this day when I maxed out my credit card so I could buy a new Xbox 360. I've seen Nintendo survive the 16-bit wars only to have their crown stolen by the upstart—as far as gaming is concerned—Sony.
