Abita rocks. And it's totally killing me that a few months back Haagen-Dasz had a special edition extra-creamy and dense vanilla bean ice cream that is now impossible to find in the Bay Area. I had one single float with that ice cream and Virgil's special edition (not the stuff you get at Trader Joe's, which is itself quite good, but an even more boutiquey Virgil's that comes with a ceramic cap with a rubber stopper), and it was so good it durn near kilt me.
Bunnies frighten me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
As long as the root beer is Barq's. The only decent-tasting root beer ever.
Is there no Stewart's in your world?
Not merely the bottle, mind you, but the stand. Sighhhhh

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Root beer floats are among the best things ever invented.
I just wanted to repeat the rightness of DX.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Kick this fucker out of school, NOW.
I hadn't seen this particular detail of the story yet. Fucking fuckity fuck fuckers.

What a disgusting little piece of shit. Doesn't this worm have a mother, sisters, grandmothers, any women in his life at all? How could anyone attain the age of majority and be able to talk about half the human race with such joking, violent contempt? I feel incredibly naive, but I literally can't conceive of the kind of mind that could make jokes like that. And that's even before I think about the actual assaults.

It was breaking news as of 10am! Where ya been, amych? Also, another dude on the team was arrested in DC last fall for gay-bashing.
I must say, the Duke Lacrosse team may or may not pass the gang-rape test, but they sure do seem to pass the asshole test with flying colors.

And out of my city, while we're at it. The Herald-Sun (Durham paper) also has an article on this: [link]

Clearly, I was squandering my energies on root beer float variations and much less well-targeted irritation at the campus newspaper's ongoing idiocy about the story. (Today's highlights: I'll Be Pissed If The Lacrosse Thing Means They Shut Down Football Tailgating; and Durham Sucks A Whole Lot So Why SHOULD We Have Good Town-Gown Relations?)
