Women believe many stereotypes about men. They believe we crave
violence, sex, glamour and pretty women to gaze upon. And my
approach to these caricatures of masculinity has always been \don't
rock the boat."" But at a certain point, excess is just excess and
even the horniest, most destructive guy has to admit that things
have gone too far. I recently reached that point, and that point is
""Perfect 10 Model Boxing.""

Halloween is only 20 days away. I will begin celebrating about
17 nights from now, and I'm beginning to do some serious thinking
about my costume.

the kids who leave Madison in search of greener pastures? When
Middleton native Jed Hohlbein left Wisconsin to attend Southwest

There are already 10,000 pre-registered participants for this
Saturday's Crazylegs Classic and roughly 1,000 to 2,500 others are

unofficial record of 12,000 entrants. While there is no guarantee
that this year's classic will have the highest attendance, or even
most lucrative from a fund-raising standpoint, one thing is
certain: The 23rd annual Crazylegs Classic will be one of the most
memorable runs in event history.

The state of Texas plans to execute a schizophrenic Wisconsin
native Thursday, and the only thing that may save this man is a
barrage of letters, e-mails and phone calls to the Texas Board of
Pardons and Paroles.

I've always been a bit slow. Most kids are born in nine months.
I was born in nine months and one week. Most kids get their braces
off in two years. I wore mine for three-and-a-half years. And while
most kids graduate from college in four years or so, I'm on pace to
finish in about 12.

My friend Tom had to go to the emergency room Friday, and I
found the late-night waiting room gruesomely fascinating. I don't
mean to say fascinatingly gruesome, because it's not the blood.
It's people rendered vulnerable and wretched by sudden
circumstances, and while I hated myself for watching and listening,
I couldn't help it.

Four Star Video Heaven and I have a great relationship. I rent
Woody Allen movies and they don't judge me. They stock prodigious
amounts of animated porn and I don't judge them. But during a visit
last week, I felt uncharacteristically self-conscious. While
perusing the animation, I felt ashamed of my choice. But it wasn't
naughty cartoon nurses or naughty cartoon detectives that I wanted.
My rental choice was \Finding Nemo.""

As the National Conference on Media Reform wore down, the mood
among the activists and scholars had begun to run high. For the

government employees to discuss the community's efforts in media
reform, with talks by celebrities in the field like Sen. Russ
Feingold, D-Wisc., comedian Al Franken, journalist Bill Moyers,
Mayor Dave Cieslewicz and \Democracy Now"" host Amy Goodman. After
a weekend of talks showed a growing network of citizens they were
not alone in a fight to save our nation's mass communications,

we are in for the fight of our lives.""

My Halloween costume was a bust. I went as a mattress. When I
started trying to hollow it out, I discovered that today's
mattresses aren't simply stuffed with cornhusks or loved ones' hair
like they were in the good old days. They're held together with
hundreds of tenacious steel wires. I spent hours with a pair of
bolt cutters, finally clearing out a human-shaped space amongst the
rusty tangle.

EVANSTON, ILL.-In what should have been a blowout game, an easy
win for Wisconsin before a week off, the Badgers did the one thing
that guaranteed them a loss: They did not show up.

Poetry fans of all generations packed the Wisconsin Union
Theater Wednesday to hear former U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins
share poetry and answer questions from the audience. Collins used
wit and poignancy, in both his poems and comments, to convey the
humor or extraordinary in the mundane.

You can imagine my indefatigable exhilaration last Saturday
morning around 3 a.m. when I realized that I didn't have to get up
five hours later to do a power hour or a few beer bongs to get
properly lubricated for the game.

Aside from the return of the time-honored songs at Camp Randall,
there was nothing to jump around for on the field, as the Badgers
lost to the Runnin' Rebels of UNLV 23-5 on a soggy Saturday
afternoon.

The weather is finally decent in Madison and what better place
to enjoy it then the Memorial Union Terrace? Since the 1930s, the
Terrace has been the favorite warm-weather hangout of students and
visitors alike. However, the Terrace we know today has come a long
way since the first Madison students spent their days sunning and
socializing.

As Tuesday's marathon city council meeting wore on, Mayor Dave
Cieslewicz stood at the side of the room and watched as outgoing
alders gave their goodbye speeches. When he got footsore from
standing so long, Cieslewicz disregarded the condition of his blue
suit and sat down on the steps at the side of the room. A
photographer brought him a chair, but Cieslewicz declined it and
offered it to the man next to him, and for another half an hour,
the newly-elected mayor of Madison sat on the floor.
