Informational Geometry

I wish I could buy men like I buy shoes. Grab a cute pair, wear 'em out, and throw 'em away! . . . Oh wait, I can! Before it's too late grab your tickets to Alaska RIGHT NOW and head to the frontier where REAL MEN still exist. This weekend is the 28th annual Talkeetna Bachelor Auction and Ball . This promises to be the most fun anywhere. And it's way more than just some lousy excuse to get drunk and flirt with guys, it's practically a music festival. You heard me, the best live music in the west, all packed into one weekend, in a really cool place called Talkeetna. With a weekend loaded with music, fun, and men for sale, do you really want to hang out at the mall? Check it out: More info: www.bachelorsoftalkeetna.org

Every four years a phrase is uttered from living rooms and bars across the USA. It's the Olympics, and along with the spectacle and grandeur are few questions about what constitutes a "real" sport. Comments like, "Where's the skill in that?" and "Look, he's got a gut" are exchanged, and of course, "How is that a sport?" Here are the most questionable sports, from a broad panel of Baltimoreans: - Badminton? Hello! Tennis people. - Synchronized diving? Isn't just "diving" enough? - Rhythmic gymnastics? What's the deal with the ribbons? - Target shooting? You don't DO anything, you shoot a gun, how is that a sport? - Beach Volleyball? In those bikinis? This just can't be taken seriously. I myself am not a sports fanatic. I'm just happy to be entertained by the great big show that is the Olympics. Leave a comment about the Olympic sports you find questionable!
