Come Cold or Crowds, Ocean City Surfing is a Way of Lifenew
The surf comes quick--rides are only a few seconds long--and an upwelling of cold water has made it unseasonably chilly, but a couple of early tropical storms have been kicking up the waves along the East Coast, and the surfers of Ocean City have been taking full advantage.

Comparing Tap Water to Bottled Waternew
At a recent meeting of the Mount Washington Green Club, members held a blind water tasting to figure out once and for all: Do tap and bottled waters taste differently? The point was to illustrate that buying bottled water is not only costly and environmentally unsound but also pointless, since there's not much difference in flavor.

The Catonsville Nine and Baltimore Four Revisitednew
Forty years ago, nine Catholic peace activists took a draft office in Maryland -- and the nation -- by surprise. Together they took the draft files to a grassy patch behind the building where tipped-off reporters were waiting for them. They then set the files ablaze with homemade napalm, recited a prayer, made statements to the press, and waited peacefully to be arrested.

I Officially Denounce Flavor Flavnew
I simply cannot overemphasize how important Public Enemy has been to my life. Frankly, that's why I've never publically addressed the post-Public Enemy phenomenon of Flavor Flav's fame. But between Flavor of Love, I Love New York, and Charm School, he continues to rule over a televised empire based on ignorance, and I can stay silent no longer.

Mr. Wrong: Suggestion Box Lunchnew
I'm a positive person. I always have lots of helpful suggestions all the time for all kinds of people, places, and things, but I mostly just say them in my head, like when I'm at the supermarket in the aisle where they have all the canned macaroni.

Mr. Wrong: More Is Morenew
OK, before I start this week's column -- or before I start this every-other week's column, on account of even though the Mr. Wrong "column" has been in this paper (and www-dot-pixels) for almost 10 fucking years and still is only every-other week -- I announce to you, Gentle Reader, that the Mr. Wrong column is now every week, huzzah.

Mr. Wrong: Missile Attacknew
Wowee, I sure am glad they (as in Us) shot down that top-secret military spy satellite. I kept driving around town all last week waiting for chunks of hot satellite to bonk me on the head, or to get rained on with some nuclear-atomic carcinogenic-chemical Death-Plus satellite-juice or whatever that "hydrazine" shit was inside the thing that made it so Bad.
