Dogs are nonflammable…. or is it inflammable?

Kodiak Passed Out

I love my dog. He’s almost 14 years old. He’s was born in Charlottesville, while I’ve only been here about six years. He’s also a total jerk. He does things like beg to go outside at 3AM, then run to the top of the hill, turn around to look at me and bark his face off. He knows I won’t run up the hill after him, so he just bounces around going apeshit, and wakes up the neighbors. Really, he’s great.

Donk’s Meal of the Week.

Posted by Donk in Food on September 21, 2009

Petit Pois - Hanger Steak, Caramelized Onions, Frites.

Petit Pois – Hanger Steak, topped with caramelized onions and thin sliced frites.

Incredible.

I had the Polenta fries for an appetizer and they were delicious, but I would rather have saved the room for the steak. It didn’t matter, as I cleaned my plate anyway. It’s just that I no longer had room for beer, and had to switch exclusively to tequila for the rest of the night. I would absolutely recommend this meal.

I love coffee

Posted by Loki in Food on August 17, 2009

There are few things I love more in life than a good cup of coffee. Fox Park Cafe on the University Corner has been giving me my daily dose of caffeine for nearly 2 years. I’m not a supreme coffee nerd, but I’m getting there. I prepare Vietnamese coffee at home like it’s a drug and I have the opium den decor on order.

Here are some reasons to continue your coffee habit:
1) Caffeine increases the effects of painkillers like aspirin.
2) When you’re high as a kite, impress your friends by reading the grounds.
3) Reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease and diabetes. [credit]

Here are some reasons to knock that shit off:
1) If you buy coffee at drive through windows you’ll spend nearly 45hours a year waiting in line.
2) One punishment for drinking coffee was being sewn into a leather bag and thrown out to sea alive. [credit]
