The Sconz

I've really been digging The Sconz since its inception a few weeks ago, especially in light of the paucity of CB posts of late. It's a refreshingly rational look at Madison politics that hits the sweet spot of controversiality without as many personal attacks. The posting consistency is just as impressive - an area I've obviously struggled with.

Keep up the good work, Jack!

Side note: your banner is a bit ominous what with the red sky and the evil disproportionate cows and whatnot, but I'll let that slide. Seriously, though, let me know if you want me to whip you up a little Photoshop majik (not that I have anything to brag about yet on this site).

For my own benefit: Holy schnike, I'm no longer the only one "following" myself on Blogger!! Thanks much, Army Hippie Chick!

Cheese paper

Have you ever gotten frustrated trying to Saran wrap a block of cheddar, only to find it ossified and moldy in your fridge a few days later?

Cheese paper is the answer.



Kind of annoying that you have to tape it up, but I suppose that's the price to pay for humidity-regulated, cheese-cave-environment-simulated queso. Having a nice design doesn't hurt either.

Also, quote of the day: "...and you will have a beautifully wrapped serving of cheese."

FYI

You damn kids!

Synopsis: College kids are so dumb and drunk all the time - and there's so many of them here! And most of them are gone now, so places are less crowded! Let me paint for you a picture of such Madison hidey-hole landmarks as "State Street" and their appeal with fewer people. And did I mention you can shop for groceries more easily now? Good thing those damn kids aren't here to funnel money into the state economy step on my lawn! When I decided to live in Madison I didn't realize it would be, y'know, a college town or anything.

EDIT: And this comment Isthmus' editorial staff deemed fit for publication. Disgusting.

I live downtown and really don't mind windowshopping the fresh crop of taut young fleshbuckets that swarm into town every year like a plague of dumb attractive locusts.
But once they've gained 15 pounds and are temporarily exterminated, there are some nice changes...

(emphasis added)

BTW Isthmus, maybe if you employed more of those rowdy college kids (who are willing to work for nothing) your front page graphics wouldn't look so shitty.
