I know I'm fighting an uphill battle.
In an age where computer-generated cartoons have become the norm, it takes more than a film full of talking animal shenanigans to win over an audience. Unfortunately, that is all that the clichAc plot of ""Open Season"" delivers.
Here's what's routine about the Milwaukee Brewers: their latest season comes to an unceremonious end this weekend without a berth in the post-season.
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.
Considering that Christina Aguilera came to prominence as part of the boom of frothy, fairly untalented teen pop stars, the public can be forgiven for expressing astonishment that seven years into her career she has released a double disc album that is not only great, but is also the work of a truly focused and inspired artistic vision.
So I'm going to be up-front with you now at the beginning, so we can establish some trust early on in our relationship. The truth is this: The whole reason I'm writing this particular article—and perhaps the entire reason I sought out my own music column—is that I've had a joke in my head for months that I have to get out before it takes up legal residency. But for this joke to work, you see, I have to put forth a certain argument. And, because this is a music column, I'm going to put forth the argument like this: Men and women tend to create wildly different kinds of music.
Evil comes in many forms. Dictators and vampires are evil. Gopher fans are close. Yet, there is one form of evil so disgusting, so haunting and so harrowing that even those hurt by it, are too fearful to speak up against it. The evil I speak of most likely sits in his huge leather throne, lighting his cigars and chuckling as his malevolence seeps through a metropolis.
For the record, baseball is no longer America's pastime. Ever since the strike of 1994 cancelled nearly an entire season, shattering the Montreal Expos' one shot at glory, football has taken its rightful throne at the top of the sports kingdom. With fantasy football now a booming industry and college football as popular as most pro sports, baseball can't compete.
The lobby of a dorm on move-in day is the eighth circle of hell. It's hot, it's sticky, parents are screaming, there's no water to quench your thirst and your fate (meaning, whether you get that laundry cart and how fast you get on that elevator) is in the hands of someone in red who cackles devilishly at you as he takes your ID card.
This week, hundreds of beer-avoiding, lettuce-adoring freshmen will descend on campus intent on avoiding the ""Freshman 15."" But while their thin quest may make the SERF a living hell, I will get the last laugh.
The German word schadenfreude refers to taking pleasure from someone else's misfortune. Students seem to be experiencing a great deal of schadenfreude toward Associated Students of Madison after two botched student elections and a third that drew microscopic turnout. Indeed, one thing that the dueling op-ed pages of The Daily Cardinal and The Badger Herald have always agreed upon is that ASM and its leaders are deserving of frequent scorn and belittling.

As you roll out of bed on a Saturday morning, your throbbing head reminds you of two things: your crazy night and your empty wallet. No Perkins for me this morning,\ you think sullenly. But wait! Don't settle for a lowly Pop Tart—haul your ass out of bed and go on a sample spree at the Dane County Farmers' Market. After dining on everything from doughnuts to sausage, the only thing fuller than your stomach will be your wallet.As you start at the corner of Carroll and Mifflin streets, make sure you walk counterclockwise. Going against the grain screams, ""I'm the biggest asshole in Madison.""
P!nk has never had an artistic personality that makes much sense. In 2001, she gave us an unexpected mash-up of dance, pop-metal, hip-hop, blues and teen-pop called M!ssundaztood that so far holds the crown for being the best and most exciting mainstream pop album to come out this decade. But then she followed this unqualified triumph with the lackluster Try This. Further confusing fans, P!nk has always insisted she couldn't care less what anyone thinks about her, despite that she seeks out unabashed popsters like Max Martin and L.A. Reid to help make decidedly radio-friendly songs.
Joella loves nothing more in life than talking. When asked to be Reader of the Day Joella couldn't stop talking about her favorite subject—HERSELF! This chatterbox said she loves to talk to anything that moves.\ With her great social skills, Joella has made friends with ""the bum in front of Buffalo Wild Wings"" and nearly half of the taxi drivers in Madison on her way to parties. At parties, Joella not only likes to compliment other cute girls, but she ""flat-out hits on them.""\
For those who grew up with the magic of Walt Disney, there is always a favorite character: Genie from Aladdin,\ Woody the cowboy doll from ""Toy Story,"" Timon and Pumbaa from ""The Lion King"" or Lumiere, the singing candelabra from ""Beauty and the Beast."" The list could go on forever.
