Skateboarding bananas are sweet
Not sure if this is a Bruce Willis approved “Kansas City Shuffle,” but a potty mouthed guy named Timmy says it’s going to be great (NSFW). Count me in if skateboarding bananas are involved.

Hail, hail! The 10th update from our roving anarchists PL, James Christos and Jamel Rockwell! PL: We made it to Austin, with little hassle. It was only warm, in comparison to Phoenix.

Anyhow, we’re attempting to showcase a flier every week we think goes above and beyond the usual clip art / movie still means of show promotion, and creates something that might actually be construed as “art.” As far as…
Kansas City’s Top Ten baked beans
Until today, we just assumed that everyone loved baked beans. But as Charles Ferruzza, Owen Morris and new Fat City blogger Jonathan Bender discovered — thanks to erudite Pitch music editor Jason Harper — that no less an authority as Pythagorus opposed the consumption of beans (he wouldn’t touch meat either, based on the principles of reincarnation). The poet Callimachus…
Breakfast Buffet: Friday, 7/03
%{}% The first in a series about cooking on the cheap and making a family gourmet dinner for about $10. So a blogger’s Jersey cow just gave birth to a beautiful calf and now the “name my calf” game is on. The sheep in Scotland are getting smaller.
