From Possums to Paddling 4

  1. Possum, I f*ckin' shot that!

    Sure, Gore's Truth won a little gold nekkid dude and a cult following. But when it comes to scaring people into action on global warming, which is more effective: a two-hour slideshow presentation or a slasher flick about killer possums? Yeah, thought so.

  2. Stellllllaaaa!!!!

    Call us bag ladies, if you must, but we've got to wrap up the latest handbag haps: The $15 Hindmarch must-have (now on eBay for $200) may be Not a Plastic Bag, but it's also Not an Ethical Bag. How to handle this scandal? With a $960 silk Hermes or a $495 organic canvas Stella, of course. But what will we tote when we can't afford groceries?

  3. Amazing what a little Tofurky can do

    Last year, we declared angry vegans our favorite source of letters to the editor (see exhibits A and B). We've even proclaimed they have an irony deficiency. But we admit we're wrong -- because before/after vegan bodybuilding is obviously meant to pump irony. Right? Right?

  4. Altruistic pizza

    Want to order pizza made with organic ingredients in a wind-powered restaurant and delivered by caped carriers driving all-electric vehicles? Enter Galactic. How about a beer with that? Try Foster's: Australian for beer power.

  5. Hey mama, this that ship that make you move, mama

    Here's to mothers: especially the ones that paddle instead of spank, and the ones that act up instead of acting out. On Sunday, celebrate yo mama -- and last-minute shoppers, remember that Saturday is World Fair Trade Day.

    Glorious Galactic!Anyone in the Twin Cities area should definitely order Galactic. The Pizza is delicious and vegan and vegetarian friendly with lots of choices. Eating there is awesome, too! They support other local businesses, too. And, you must try the rootbeer!

    bad vegan dietAlthough I appreciate what 1monthchallenge.com is trying to convey, Adam appears to eat quite poorly for a vegan.  He mostly eats fruit smoothies, Cliff bars and other processed soy products.  No wonder he's tired all the time.

    Throw in some greensEverybody, not just vegans/vegetarians, can benefit from more green leafly vegetables like spinich, kale and chard. They have lots of iron and calcium-good for athletes. You can add them really easily to pasta sauce and stir fries.  We always keep a frozen bag of spinich to add to our creations.
