Have you heard? There’s a little white powder that you can buy to help you lose weight instantly. No… Not that white powder. It’s called Sensa. The makers of the product claim that it will “enhance foods’ smell,” causing your body to get the “I feel full” sensation sooner. The packets contain “Maltodextrin, Tricalcium Phosphate, Silica, Natural and Artificial Flavors.”…
UPDATE: Fox 4 reports that the victim of the hit-and-run accident is Rogelio Vargas, who was on the verge of his 52nd birthday. If you happened to hit a man walking in Kansas City, Kansas, with your car and decided, “I’m going to drive off because this always ends well,” it’s time to come clean. Probably not the best time,…
At first the synthetic marijuana thing was unique and interesting, like Michael Cera. But now I’m sick of hearing the same routine about it over and over, and it’s become dull and predictable, like Michael Cera. Because in Brookfield kids are getting high and you probably already know how this ends. Categories: News Tags: Bocomo Dew, Brookfield
If you can smell the Folger’s plant when you’re not downtown or Gates Barbecue as you zoom by State Line on 435, then you might want to check the scale. The BBC reports that a new study from researchers at the University of Portsmouth suggests that overweight people have “a far heightened sense of smell,” as compared to skinny people….
Kansas City coach Todd Haley just had to go and ruin the heat he put on the Chiefs-Broncos rivalry.

It was cold, it was November, it was a Monday night, it was the Replay. Yet the band, justly met with a great deal of acclaim for their awesome debut LP, Sports, played like the house was full. It is rare…
In real life, most bar fights begin and end with two guys shoving each other and a bouncer quickly intervening. According to the Associated Press, former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach was arrested after getting into a fight in an Ontario bar.

JaBond Warrior told KMBC Channel 9 reporter Michele Rooney that he thought he’d seen everything in his neighborhood. “It was shocking to me, though, because we have had burned-up cars, trash, the occasional bodies sometimes around in here, but an alligator?” Warrior said. “That took the cake. I was like, ‘Oh no, we’ve had everything dumped on our street now.’”…
Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim opened their Chrimbus Spectacular show last night at the Midland by performing a song about Chrimbus. Dressed in tight, elaborate, poorly fitting blue-and-yellow jumpsuits with silver sparkling vests, they danced around the stage, asking everyone to keep their bushes “trim and wet.” It was probably the least weird performance of the night.

“Every saga has its middle age…and this is what happens when Jay and Silent Bob get old.” So begins every episode of director Kevin Smith’s podcast with his Clerks cohort, Jason Mewes, unsurprisingly entitled “Jay and Silent Bob Get Old.” Ostensibly, the podcast began as a way to tell the story of Smith and Mewes’ time together.

Mix 93.3 is hosting its annual Jingle Jam at the Sprint Center this year. Enrique Iglesias will gyrate, Travie McCoy will play “Billionaire” and very obviously avoid the word “fuck,” Emily Osment (who?) will do something vaguely associated with Miley Cyrus and the Disney Channel, and Cody Simpson will make South Valley Junior High in Liberty remember why they minded their…
