December 14th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Don’t you miss the Sunday comics? Especially Mark Trail? No? Oh well. Here’s a new comic called Jasón Roland by Brian Nowakoswki. He describes the new effort as such: This is going to be a stream of consciousness strip so it’ll go where ever it’ll go. Part experiment, part I feel like it. Hope everyone enjoys it.

Quick Poll – please vote!

September 30th, 2009 | 1 Comment

The month of November is fast approaching and I/we/the universe has decided that a bar crawl for the awesomestest charity ever, Movember, is in order. Last year I personally raised around $650 bones for the charity and was ranked 299th in the nation. This year, we’re blowing the lid off of it and having a full blown bar crawl complete with T-shirts and a charity auction at the end. So the question is this: which weekend to have it? The 14th or the 21st? Both are Saturdays, but the 21st is the weekend before Thanksgiving and people may be traveling. On the other hand, there are big fat college sporting events on the 14th and people may not be able to make it. So I ask you, dear readers, which … Read entire article »

September 22nd, 2009 | Add a Comment

It was called to my attention while I was away last week that a particular Baltimore Restaurant Events Examiner (quite the mouthful), Jasmine Touton, has given wicked mad props to the WILDLY POPULAR and current long term City That Breeds project, NachoQuest. Knowing full well what she’s talking about, she had the following to say about NachoQuest: Nacho Quest 2009 is nothing short of genius. Well stated, Jasmine, well stated. BONUS PIC: Here are some nachos I made while on vacation. The best nachos in Baltimore are the ones you make yourselves, folks! … Read entire article »
