Each year, football fans everywhere ritualistically gather
around their televisions for the last game of the season. The
penultimate showdown will occasionally live up to the impossibly
large hype, but often the games aren't as close or as interesting
as one would like. That's why there's more to the Super Bowl than
the game itself.

Imagine for a minute that the entire world has been transported
back to the 1980's. Duran Duran is blasting through every car
stereo, suits are as white as the coke its wearers snort in trendy
club bathrooms, and without fail, the names Robert De Niro and Al
Pacino invoke images of pure, unadulterated badass. Fast-forward to
2008, where the Pussycat Dolls and Hannah Montana reign supreme,
popped collars are the style du jour, and Pacino and De Niro invoke
images of Meet the Fockers"" and ""88 Minutes.""

Flashback to Summer 2006: on the west side of Wisconsin Rapids,
Angelica and James crawl around the carpeted basement floor of
James's mom's house, picking up shards of glass. James' hands shake
and blood drips from where he squeezed the glass too hard. ""What
happened just now, James?"" Angelica says. ""What are you thinking
about?""

You finally got the energy to go to the SERF. You noticed yourself
out of breath halfway up Bascom and decide you want to
be like Oprah and transform from an obese lady into a thin,
judgemental lady. Besides, you're out of excuses not
to go. (Guys: ""Gatorade has protein."" Girls: ""but
guys like junk in the trunk, right?"") So you lug your fat ass up
to the cardio room and kick it up all the way to speed-walk
pace.

This past week, I slept a grand total of eight hours. With a
research paper worth 40 percent of my grade due Friday, I had low
prospects for the week before it even began. But I'm a firm
believer in procrastination, the lifeblood of American society.

I love when Madison rallies and we all come together for justice
and peace and love and the people and everybody's smiling and
chanting and crying and you get that ""One for all and all for
one"" kind of funky feeling.

E*TRADE – Enzo

I used to have a pretty good friend named Gary. He was a good
enough fellow, and we used to shoot fireworks off at each other
down by the creek every once in a while. Once we even made a pretty
ambitious bike jump over a really deep ravine and Gary, who used to
be pretty daring, ended up shattering his pelvis in several places.
After the ""Pelvis Incident"" Gary was confined to an ""ass-cast,""
as we called it, and went into self-instated retirement for what
ended up being several years. The last few words I ever heard Gary
speak still run through my mind from time to time:

Dear Mr. Scientist: What's the best way to caramelize food? I've
heard for onions you're supposed to go slow at a low heat, but then
for scallops it should be fast and at a high heat. Why is there a
difference?

I'm a huge proponent of the History Channel. Sometimes there's
nothing better after a long day of toiling over mind-numbingly
exhaustive classes than sitting down and letting the History
Channel pander its infinite wisdom to me, without even asking me to
read a few hundred pages after the show ends.

Banking is complicated. This was the biggest hurdle facing ""Inside
Job,"" the comprehensive documentary breakdown of what has come to
be known as the ""Great Recession"" of 2008. The film has an hour
and a half to try and explain the largest economic debacle of the
generation in a simple, movie-friendly fashion, and that is no easy
task. But somehow it is successful. If only director Charles
Ferguson could have managed to make the movie interesting as
well.

Chances are, if you go to school at Central Washington University
or Ramapo College in New Jersey, ""getting Loko"" is banned.
Recently, both schools have had major issues with the relatively
new and very alcoholic beverage called Four Loko. As a result of
the drink's effects, around 30 people have ended up in the
hospital, which police blame on the drink's combined
ingredients.

As poor college students, quality often takes a back seat to
quantity when it comes to liquor purchases. We might not go for
Fleischmann's like we did back in freshman year, but it's not like
we're going to throw down $25 for a liter of Jose Cuervo or
Tanqueray.

Unlike average college students, I'm not very frugal. This is not
to say that I'm out blowing my tuition loans on daily doses of
cheap whiskey and cigarettes, but I have a tendency to overindulge
when it comes to online shopping and the deceiving invisible carts
that magically fill up so easily. If you're not convinced, have a
conversation with my mother.

Why hasn't Larry King died yet? Why haven't I shit in four days?
How big was the fattest person who has ever lived? How deep
underwater do you need to swim before your ears implode? He's only
76, a low-fiber diet, 1,225 pounds and pretty fucking deep. These
are the real questions in life; the questions your professors will
be scratching their heads at. Luckily, we have Google. For poor,
uninformed bastards like me, it's the slickest route for answers
the world has ever known. Sometimes when I'm really hungry for
answers, I'll just sit in front of Google for hours suckling on the
unending virtual teat of knowledge until I can't take any more.

Lots of NoDoz, and plenty of Dew."" That's how I respond when my
close friends ask me how I ever got through U.S. Operative basic
training without my superiors catching wind of my debilitating
disorder. I'm agent Peter Stotch, and I have narcolepsy. Sometimes
I'll go all day without falling asleep. Other times I'll find
myself curled up like a kitten in the middle of the street.
Regardless, I'm the best there is at what I do, and I'll be damned
if the occasional mid-day snooze is gonna keep me from my work.

I'm a huge proponent of the History Channel. Sometimes there's
nothing better after a long day of toiling over mind-numbingly
exhausting classes than sitting down and letting the History
Channel indulge me with its infinite wisdom without even asking me
to read a few hundred pages for tomorrow after the show ends.
Recently, a special came on regarding the ""greatest generation""
and the hardship they endured to ensure you and I can shove double
cheeseburgers down our throats while Facebooking until our eyeballs
bleed. For those of you who aren't too keen on your generational
knowledge, if you're in college right now, your grandparents were
most likely part of the Greatest Generation.
