I cant buy into the America is
#1 argument when there are
countries who shut everything
down after lunch to take a nap.

Letter from the editor
M
aybe it was be-
cause my grandfa-
ther always took
my brother to fights at the
Scranton CYC (and a
far-too-young-to-join-them
me desperately wanted to
go, too), but Ive always
been fascinated by boxing
and, in turn, MMA and
UFC fighting.
Theres just something
about someone using na-
tures most-pure weapon,
their body, to spar with
someone. Plus, Im interested in
what it takes to get that someone
in the ring, who they are, what
pushes them to pummel some-
one, and, oftentimes, be pum-
meled right back themselves.
In this weeks cover story (pgs.
15-17), Staff Writer Stephanie
DeBalko unearths the dedication
that went into getting local
MMA fighter Rex T-Rex Har-
ris into the main event at next
weekends MASS 2 at the King-
ston Armory. You may be sur-
prised to learn that theres a very
gentlemanly side to Harris, but
lest a future opponent forget that
there is a well-trained fighter
side as well, perhaps they should
keep this weeks cover image at
hand to remind them.
In other news, if youve visited
theweekender.com the past week
or so, you may have seen that
our website is in a state of transi-
tion.
Were currently working on a
redesign that were all very, very
excited about right now, and in
order to make the shift as smooth
as possible for our tech gods,
some things on the site are going
to be changing around and look-
ing different, and, frankly, weird
until the new site is unveiled.
Bear with us, please, and just
wait until you see the brand-
spanking-new theweekender-
.com. Weve been developing it
the past few months, and I can
honestly say its going to look
like no other website in the area.
Ive been on pins and needles
because Im so excited for the
sites rollout, which will be hap-
pening within the next few
weeks.
Keep your eyes peeled, and
please be patient I promise
itll be worth it! As always,
thanks for reading, and Ill see
you here next week!

NEPAs own Old Forge-style

Stern namechecked Victory Pig

they said makes a pretty good
facsimile to the rich, oily pizza
that has made Victory Pig a local
legend.

news of the weird
By Chuck Shepherd
Weekender Wire Services
FERTILE LANDS
An annual spring fertility
festival in Vietnams Phu Tho
province is capped by a symbolic
X-rated ceremony rendered G-
rated by wooden stand-ins. At
midnight on the 12th day of the
lunar new year, a man holding a
wooden phallus-like object
stands in total darkness alongside
a woman holding a wooden
plank with a hole in it, and the
act is attempted. As the tradition
goes, if the man is successful at
penetration, then there will be
good crops. Following the cere-
mony, villagers are ordered to
go and be free, which, accord-
ing to a February report by
Thanh Nien News Service,
means uninhibited friskiness
during the lights-out period.
CULTURAL DIVERSITY
-- In a tradition believed to
have originated in the eighth
century, the village of San Barto-
lome de Pinares, Spain, marks
each Jan. 16 with the festival of
Saint Anthony, commenced in
style by villagers riding their
horses through large fires in the
streets (Las Luminarias). As
horses jump the flames, accord-
ing to belief, they become puri-
fied, demons are destroyed and
fertility and good health result.
(Apparently, no horses are
harmed, and an on-the-scene
priest blesses each for its cour-
age.)
LATEST RELIGIOUS
MESSAGES
-- Recovering alcoholic Ryan
Brown recently moved his licens-
ed tattoo parlor into The Bridge
church in Flint Township, Mich.,
which is one more indicator of
Rev. Steve Bentleys nontradi-
tional belief that mainstream
religion had become irrelevant to
most people. Tattooing is a mor-
ally neutral practice, Bentley
said, although Brown, of course,
does not ink tattoos lauding
drugs, gangs or the devil. (The
Bridge has also loaned out its
plentiful floor space in a shop-
ping mall to wrestling, cage
fighting and auto repair facil-
ities.)
-- In December, Pennsylvania
judge Mark Martin dismissed
harassment charges against Mus-
lim Talaag Elbayomy, who had
snatched a Zombie Moham-
mad sign from the neck of athe-
ist Ernie Perce at last years Hal-
loween parade in Mechanicsburg,
Pa. (Perce was mockingly
dressed as an undead person, in
robes and beard.) In tossing out
the charge (even though Elbayo-
my seemed to admit to an assault
and battery), Martin ruled that
Sharia law actually required
Elbayomy to take the sign away
from Perce. Judge Martin later
explained that the technical basis
for the ruling was (he-said/he-
said) lack of evidence. (The
December ruling did not attract
press attention until February.)
QUESTIONABLE
JUDGMENTS
-- Jack Taylor, 18, of Worces-
ter, England, was given a lenient
sentence in January for an Au-
gust burglary he admitted. He
and another youth had tried to
steal a residents motorcycle but
damaged it in the process. Since
he was remorseful, made restitu-
tion, observed a curfew and did
community service, he was re-
leased by the judge when he
secured full-time employment.
(However, the employment, the
court later learned, was as a
slaughterman in Norway, where
he was to take part in the culling
of Alaskan baby seals.)
A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL
(1) John Morgan, 34, was
charged in February in Port St.
Lucie, Fla., with embezzling over
$40,000 from a trust fund that
had been established for his
daughter, who has special needs
because of cerebral palsy. Be-
cause of the theft, she is unable
to have dental work necessitated
because a care provider failed to
lock her wheelchair, sending her
sprawling face-first. (2) Police
officer Skeeter Manos, 34, was
charged in February in Seattle
with embezzling over $120,000
from a fund for the families of
four colleagues who had been
shot to death in the line of duty.
Manos alleged expenditures
included several trips to Las
Vegas.
PEOPLE WITH ISSUES
What Do You Mean, Im Not
Mentally Stable: Ms. Fausat
Ogunbayo, 46, filed a federal
lawsuit against New York Citys
Administration for Childrens
Services because it had taken
away her kids (aged 13 and 10 at
the time) in 2008 for questions
about Ogunbayos mental stabil-
ity. The lawsuit, for recklessly
disregard(ing) her right to
family integrity, asks the city to
pay her $900,000,000,000,000
(trillion).
UPDATE
Sherwin Shayegan of Bothell,
Wash., has apparently been act-
ing out again. News of the Weird
first mentioned, in 2007, an adult
troll who hung out at high
schools and befriended male
students, especially athletes,
ultimately beseeching them for
piggyback rides. In some cases,
he jumped on without permission
and was arrested and ordered to
get treatment and to stay away
from schools. He reportedly
began his piggyback career in
2004 with incidents in Washing-
ton and Oregon, and though there
were periods of dormancy, it
flared up again recently as he
traveled to Montana, Bismarck,
N.D., and Minneapolis (perhaps
to outrun restraining orders).
(Fondness for piggyback rides is
not a widely practiced obsession,
though the legendary illustrator
R. Crumb liked to receive them
in lieu of sex, according to an
ex-girlfriend in the 1994 movie
Crumb.) W
According to a municipal street sign in front of Lakewood Elementary
School in White Lake, Mich. (filmed in February by Detroits WJBK-
TV), the speed limit drops to 25 mph on school days only, but just
from 6:49-7:15 a.m., 7:52-8:22 a.m., 8:37-9:07 a.m., 2:03-2:33 p.m., 3:04-
3:34 p.m. (and) 3:59-4:29 p.m.

ocking eyes with
local mixed mar-
tial arts (MMA)
fghter and Wilkes
University alum-
nus RexT-RexHarris could
go one of two ways depend-
ing on the situation. If its
inside a ring, minutes be-
fore a professional bout, its
probably enough to make a
person run away screaming
like a little girl.
What wehadtodowasget
him a baggy shirt, literally,
and I stayed in the truck, and
Mike (Malast) took him in to
weigh in, said Sean Diggs,
Harris striking coach and
owner of World Class Box-
ing in Kingston, describing
one occasion where it was
necessary to veil Harris
physical presence thanks to
the bowing out of a previous
challenger. Its funny be-
cause his opponent didnt
get the opportunity to see
him until he actually came
out to the cage, and you see
the guy jumping around,
hes all hyped up.
That didnt last long.
He looks across the cage
and sees Rex in there, and
he just freezes ... But its too
late, hes in the cage now,
theres nothing you can do
about that, Diggs contin-
ued, laughing.

But Harris himself is too
modest to admit that his size
or apparent strength as a
middleweight (185 pounds)
would be intimidating to
other ghters.
I try to put faith in guys,
Harris, a former wrestler,
said. Youd like to think
that guys are in this game for
the right reasons, guys are in
this game to compete, and
they want to ght the best.
Harris (2-1-0) will be up
against Indianas Moses Mc-
Craney (2-2-0) for the main
event at Martial Arts Super
Sport 2 (MASS 2) ANight
For the Troops Saturday,
March 24 at the Kingston
Armory.
The Weekender had the
chance to sit down with the
ghter, Diggs and Malast,
president of MASS, at
Diggs gym. Through this
interview, the other side of T-
Rex came out, the side with
which eye contact wouldnt
necessarily inspire great fear.
Outside the ring, Har-
ris is polite, professional,
exudes a sense of calm. And
his approach to his craft is
straightforward, even when
its taken into account that
hes still got a day job to
hold down.
I work at Mid-Atlantic
Youth Services with adjudi-
cated juvenile delinquents,
Harris said. So thats where
a lot of my time throughout
the course of the week goes,
which is why it makes it so
difcult to get my personal
training in. But youve got to
make it happen.
From left, Sean Diggs, Rex T-Rex Harris and Mike Malast
at World Class Boxing in Kingston.
Sean Diggs
is breeding
champions,
and thankfully I
have a place to
showcase them,
and thats what
were going to
continue to do.
Jimys in the
UFC now, I see
Rex being there
very soon.

iggs and Harris have a
good working rela-
tionship, and there
are others in Harris
corner, including Ultimate Fight-
ing Championship (UFC) ghter
Jimy The Kid Hettes, who was
signed to the big league after his
performance at last years MASS
event at Mohegan Sun Arena
the same event where Harris
had his rst professional MMA
match.
Diggs explained that in addi-
tion to training at World Class
Boxing, Harris also trains with
Hettes at Northeastern Ju-Jitsu in
Swoyersville, and they all travel
to East Stroudsburg to work out
with Don Ciof at Chamber
MMA.
We keep it small, we work
with mostly each other Be-
cause most of the talent in this
area, to be perfectly honest with
you, trains in one of those three
camps, Diggs said. We just
pretty much got together and
formed an alliance, to bring the
best guys together and showcase
their skills and develop and
working them to push them to
the next level, which is the goal,
whether its Bellator (Fighting
Championships) or UFC.
And thats exactly the goal for
Harris, who is being groomed and
readied for a chance to follow the
same path as Hettes.
Im putting a lot of my ener-
gies into Rex right now because
hes the next in line, Diggs said.
In the camp that I have right
now, you have some aspiring
amateurs, but no one on the level
at this point in time that is look-
ing to go to the UFC the way he
is. And hes right on the verge,
hes maybe two, three ghts
away. And thats from a ght-ex-
perience point, not ability point.
Malast agreed, pointing to
Diggs as a central factor in the
success of both Harris and Hettes.
Hes breeding champions, and
thankfully I have a place to show-
case them, and thats what were
going to continue to do, Malast
said. Jimys in the UFC now, I
see Rex being there very soon.
The respect is mutual on Diggs
part.
Many athletes dont get an
opportunity to be a part of some-
thing big, he said. Where you
have, like the last ght, I guess
the guy was there from the UFC
watching Jimy. You dont see
guys like that oating around at
just normal, regular shows. So
that says something about Mike
and Mikes potential, that they
have enough respect to come
down and actually sit and watch
to see what kind of talent is com-
ing out of these leagues.
Malast noted that this is the
second MMAevent for MASS,
which is a professional MMA
league thats licensed through
the Department of State by the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Com-
mission, comprised of local and
national ghters.
The majority of them come
from the mid-Atlantic region,
Malast explained. Basically,
my thing is to make sure that we
have the best ghters on the card,
and theyre not necessarily going
to be from around here.
WORK NOW, PLAY LATER
P
racticing MMAon
Harris level is a true
commitment of body
and mind and requires
sacrice in and out of the gym,
something T-Rex is familiar with.
I was just about to buy a half
gallon of ice cream last night, but
I stopped, he said, laughing.
Generally, his eating habits are
pretty average for a 29 year old,
but he knows thatll change if and
when he makes it into the UFC.
Typically, Im more of a guy
who says, you know what? If
I put in the work in the gym, it
really doesnt matter as far as my
eating habits, he said. But as I
start to take it to the next level,
now Ive got to really start focus-
ing more on what Im putting
into my body and taking care of
it even past the point of what I
physically do in the gym.
As far as going out and enjoy-
ing the nightlife, Harris gures
hell have time for that down the
road.
Were really committed to
what it is were trying to do, so
theres not a lot of time for play
right now, he said. Maybe like
after the ght, after a victory,
well go out, well have a good
time, let loose a little bit, but then
its back to business the next day.
So thats the approach we take.

eing in a rock band is
easy, right? Living life
like a Nickelback song
with hilltop houses, driving
15 cars
The rock-star lifestyle may
come eventually, but for a
budding band trying to make
its mark on the music scene,
the journey to the top isnt a
cake walk. Pop Evil has paid
its dues, and with the release
of its second album, War of
Angels, members are finally
able to call themselves full-
time rockers.
This album was produced
by Johnny K, who worked
with 3 Doors Down and
Megadeth, and we were so
excited to work with someone
who could help us compete
with the big guys, said lead
vocalist Leigh Kakaty. We
are finally doing it full time
with music being our focal
point. This album was the
first opportunity to explore
our minds musically and fo-
cus on that instead of money
and working side jobs, which
kept us distracted.
Creating a new album al-
lowed band members to grow
together, causing an evolution
in its sound, resulting in new
music that fans can deeply
connect with, yet still rock
out hard to.
The album is about the
battle we do combat in life,
who we want to be as people,
what our purpose is in the
world those battles we
lead and finding happiness in
bad situations that can be
challenging for us, said Ka-
katy. Its about finding our
place when we leave this
world.
From the heart-wrenching
Monster You Made to the
head-banging new single
Boss Daughter, Pop Evil
has managed to create a re-
cord that runs the gamut from
the emotionally distraught to
the hardcore rocker.
This is an emotional re-
cord we have a variety of
songs for all types of peo-
ple, Kakaty explained. The
direction we go depends on
the songs; we want the best
hook, the catchiest melodies.
We never know which way
the album is going until we
start developing the songs.
Pop Evil hasnt been able
to spend as much time tour-
ing in Pennsylvania as it
would like to, so its members
are incredibly excited to per-
form at Three Kings in Jer-
myn Wednesday, March 14.
Kakaty encourages fans to
stick around after the show
for some one-on-one time
with the band.
We are really excited
about getting in there and
building more of a following,
make more of a hands-on
connection with fans here,
he said. Fans can expect a
lot of energy and excitement
this is an exciting area,
and we are definitely going
to come with more aggres-
sion than most because we
dont get to come here a lot.

Bruce Springsteen has de-
scribed his new album, Wreck-
ing Ball, as the most direct
record hes ever made. Thats a
big statement from the man who
is arguably the most analyzed
lyricist of our time. Its also
what made some of the early
interpretations of the first single,
We Take Care of Our Own, so
interesting. Was it a patriotic
American anthem or was it a
biting social commentary on a
broken America? Well, for those
that still think that Born In The
U.S.A. was Springsteens at-
tempt at writing a flag-waving
rocker that could be marched
along to on the Fourth of July
and think that We Take Care
of Our Own is his attempt at
another there is some news:
Youre wrong. Again.
We Take Care Of Our Own,
a thumping and blistering track,
is a biting commentary on social
and economic injustice. And
when placed within the context
of the entire album, its more
than direct. Its about as subtle
as, well ... a wrecking ball.
Two tracks that will likely get
some attention are Death to My
Hometown and Rocky
Ground. Death is a stopping,
swaggering, Irish-inspired,
pissed-off mini masterpiece
and the albums most stirring
track. Rocky Ground, which is
moving musically and lyrically,
combines elements of soul and a
touch of hip-hop, and while its
arrangement might surprise
many, it is daring and wonder-
ful.
While the words are always
what get the most scrutiny on
any Springsteen album, theres
also some fine music accompa-
nying those words. And while
Springsteen is an angry and/or
despondent American on some
of it, that doesnt mean he
doesnt love his country. On the
contrary, it probably shows how
much he does love it, and
through his music, he notes the
vulnerability and resiliency of its
people. There is no defeat on
this record, but Springsteen
writes songs about a daily strug-
gle, probably hoping they can
somehow make a difference,
inspire, raise awareness and get
people to think a little bit more
about their neighbors.

Billboard Top Alternative Songs
The latest effort from California-based
hard-rock band Modern Day Escape
really demonstrates the bands ability to
bridge the gap between hard and soft.
Modern Day Escape is set to release
Under The Gun via Standby Records
March 27, and the aggressive rock al-
bum is the third for this talented band.
Featuring James Vegas (vocals), Sand-
ra Alvarenga (drums), Marti Rubels
(guitar), Mark Burn (guitar) and Nicho-
las Shep Sheppard (bass), the band
definitely exhibits its ability for aggres-
sive music writing on Under The Gun.
However, one thing that makes this
band notable is Vegas ability to jump
back and forth from heavy screaming to
melodic vocals like its really nothing.
This band doesnt really mess around
with the soft stuff on this album, show-
ing just how brutal its music can be
with the opening track City of
Thieves.
The song is followed by Dont Hold
It Against Me, an equally powerful
track that verges on metal and in which
Vegas really shows his range. Two of the
albums most extreme tracks are the
commanding and heavy Tigers Blood
and Demons Down Below.
One theme that runs constant for
Modern Day Escape is its appreciation
of fans; the group is so dedicated to its
followers that it wrote the intense track
The Syndicate in their honor.
Although Modern Day Escapes music
can be melodic and even catchy at
times, this band definitely puts forth
more of a heavier side in everything it
does. Under The Gun is a testament
to its heavy roots and is overall dark in
nature.

Though there are no lyrics on Dirty
Threes new album, Toward the Low
Sun, the instrumental Australian-bred
trio still manages to tell one hell of a
story. The beauty of the nine-song album
is that said story is yours to unfold.
In the seven years since guitarist Mick
Turner, drummer Jim White and violinist
Warren Ellis last released an album, Dirty
Threes members have performed with
Nick Cave, Grinderman, Bonnie Prince
Billy, Cat Power and more while contin-
uing their musical evolution. The result is
that Toward the Low Sun is improvisa-
tional, but controlled, running the gamut
from jazzy to Celtic and folk to rock.
Furnace Skies kickstarts the album
with dirty guitar, up-tempo cymbals and
experimental sounds mixed with Ellis
pretty violin. Sometimes I Forget Youve
Gone has a calming, melancholic aura
despite Whites jazz-like frantic drum-
ming and lushly crashing cymbals.
Moon on the Land lopes along with
pretty Irish flair, Rising Below is folky,
with weeping violin and a snare drum that
offers a Civil War-esque beat before the
song lathers itself up into a crescendo
only to softly fade out. Ellis violin again
shines on the sprawling The Pier, Ash-
en Snow is elegant with tinkling piano
while You Greet Her Ghost is as haunt-
ing as its name.
Turners guitar keeps a plucky riff that
enhances Ellis somber violin on Rain
Song, and That Was Was is a bluesy
and garage-influenced scorcher that begs
for gritty Cave-penned lyrics though
words would only muddy up the brilliance
of the blistering track.
For all intents and purposes, Turner,
White and Ellis might be considered
backing musicians in their numerous
projects, but as Dirty Three, they have
truly found their voices, so to speak.

tech talk
By Nick Delorenzo
Special to the Weekender
I
n late 2010, Apple founder
Steve Jobs proclaimed that a
tablet device with a seven-inch
display was dead on arrival and a
screen size of no less than10 inch-
es was required for success.
Its true that fewsmall tablets
have been commercial block-
busters, but some have been suc-
cessful enough to avoid the
DOA label. Of particular note is
the Samsung Galaxy lineup, which
has been relatively popular, and
nowoffers devices with displays
ranging from5.3 inches (the
Note tablet) to11.6 inches (the
Slate).
I recently got my hands on the
newly refreshed Samsung Galaxy
Tab 7.7, and if this device is any
indication, the market for small
tablets is alive and well.
The major difference between
the Galaxy Tab and the iPad is that
the Tab is actually small enough to
be shoved into a pocket. This
might not seemlike a big deal, but
I work with an iPad every day and
having to carry it around every-
where is annoying. The Galaxy
Tab 7.7 is also superbly executed.
The device is lighter than an iPad,
yet the chassis feels very solid and
is of high quality.
The dual-core 1.4 GHz proc-
essor gives the Tab incredible
responsiveness and1280x800
Super AMOLEDPlus display is
crisp and easily readable.
The Tab offers Split View
support, meaning its possible to
actually work with multiple apps at
the same time, on the same screen.
The high resolution of the Galaxy
Tabs 7.67-inch display ensured
that it was extremely workable.
Verizons 4GLTE network is
available on the Tab, and the de-
vice is capable of using all of that
bandwidth to its full potential
HDvideo was crystal clear and
didnt degrade or require much
buffering time, and Internet brows-
ing was snappy.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 has front-
and rear-facing cameras. The rear
camera is 3-megapixels (with a
flash) and can capture HDquality
video, while the front-facing cam-
era is 2 megapixels and suitable for
video chats and conferences.
As usual with Samsung devices,
you get more in terms of interface
and usability. The Galaxy Tab
comes with Samsung Hub, which
includes social, music, reader and
game components; in short, an
analog of the iTunes store.
Samsungs swype keyboard
interface also deserves mention.
When tracing my finger over the
keys on the onscreen keyboard,
the device automatically enters the
word it works very well and is a
huge timesaver.
All in all, an extremely capable
tablet I found the size to be
ideal able to handle all the tasks
I normally performusing an iPad,
and without exception, the Galaxy
Tab was as good if not better. The
Galaxy Tab 7.7 costs $499.99 with
a two-year data contract and
$699.99 without. W

T
he fans of VH1s Mob
Wives take to Twitter
every Sunday when a new
episode airs. Many tweet not that
they love Drita DAvanzo, but
that they f--king love her. And
when I brought this up to her
during a recent interviewon The
Ralphie Radio Show, its safe to
say she f--king loves it.
Theres an extra oomph to it,
a laughing DAvanzo said. Just
loving someone is kind of weak.
All kidding aside, the soon-to-
be ex-wife of the incarcerated Lee
DAvanzo feels that people con-
nect with her because on some
level, they can relate.
Everybody has that side of
them, she said, referring to her
no-nonsense, in-your-face per-
sona people witness on the show.
I just keep it real, and Immyself,
and they feel comfortable being
their self.
But DAvanzo revealed that her
closest friends, including one that
has known her for more than 30
years, see the TVstar in a much
different light.
She always tells everyone, I
never had an argument with her.
Shes the easiest person to get
along with, DAvanzo said.
What you do see on the showis
me, because I could never not be
me. But, there is editing.
Despite the personal wishes of
cast members or the influence
that family members may have in
other areas, the final cut of Mob
Wives is at the discretion of VH1.
I would be like, Hello? Take
the fight out! DAvanzo said if
she had a say in what airs. (The
network) is going to get the mo-
ments that capture entertain-
ment.
Of course if you watch the
show, you knowthat entertain-
ment primarily refers to conflict
and controversy. While that might
not paint the most flattering pic-
ture of some cast members, it has
given way to a number of new
opportunities for the single moth-
er.
Thats exactly why I chose to
do (the show), because I want to
focus on taking care of my kids,
she stated. Immoving forward.
DAvanzo is moving to a pleth-
ora of projects, including a cameo
in a French Montana video, a
modeling gig with a swimwear
label, her own cosmetic line and a
newfitness video. Meanwhile,
Mob Wives is two seasons
strong and will debut a newcity, a
la Real Housewives this spring
with Mob Wives Chicago.
And to think, initially, the men
and the women in these families
werent looking for any extra
public exposure.
When (VH1) came forward, it
wasnt like, Yes! Were going on
TV. Yes! Its a reality show,
DAvanzo confessed. But, at the
same time, all of our men are
already in books. Theres really
nothing about themthat you cant
Google.
In this age of the Internet and
social media, DAvanzo makes a
valid point. Still, youd have to
think that if the men in the family
wanted anyone to Google any-
thing, itd be the word omerta. W

movie review
John Carters $250 million

price tag and its genre (ac-
tion-adventure blockbuster)
come with a few expectations. At
the very least, were due a visual
feast that distracts us from our
dishwater-gray lives for two
hours. Unfortunately, director
Andrew Stanton gives us little to
ooh and aah over: Aliens re-
sembling toned celery stalks, a
few nasty, nondescript creatures
and a protagonist whose super
power is jumping really high, an
effect whose coolness expired
shortly after the release of Super
Mario Brothers 2.
Lacking a smidgen of visual
grandeur or CGI inspiration
shocking considering that Stan-
ton directed the stunning animat-
ed films Finding Nemo and
WALL-E John Carter has
little to recommend it. Well, there
is one thing: If youve ever won-
dered how a quarter of a billion
dollars could be spent on boring
you, here is proof.
The movie stars Taylor Kitsch
of TVs Friday Night Lights as
the Edgar Rice Burroughs-cre-
ated title character, an adventur-
ous explorer. The action starts in
1881, when a distressed Carter
reaches out to his nephew, Edgar
(of course). By the time the
young man arrives to his uncles
estate, Carter is dead. Among
Edgars inheritance is Carters
secret journal.
I ask you to believe me once
more, Carter writes in his in-
troduction. The journal goes on
to reveal that in 1868, Carters
journey to find a cave of gold
went cosmically awry, causing
him to be teleported to futuristic
Mars known as Helium to its
warring inhabitants.
Told mostly in flashbacks,
John Carter has a simple story:
Carter lands on the Red Planet,
finds allies, kicks ass, saves
romantic interest (Lynn Collins)
from peril decreed by fate. The
movies three screenwriters (in-
cluding Pulitzer Prize-winning
novelist Michael Chabon) need-
lessly complicate affairs, drown-
ing us in subplots and details,
none of which add juice to the
narrative. Like George Lucas
ponderous later scripts in the
Star Wars saga, everything is
presented with the explanatory
pizzazz of a calculus textbook.
We dont need to know how
Mars warlord (Dominic West)
got his power and the story be-
hind his power brokers. Its not
necessary to learn the benefits of
the ninth ray, especially if its
barely part of the plot. What
brings Carter to the desert cave/
time portal is absolutely useless,
even if it involves Bryan Cran-
ston.
A litany of details does not add
intrigue or urgency; something
has to be done with them. In
John Carter, its a cheap trick to
give dramatic heft, when the time
could have been better spent
crafting outrageous battle scenes
or adding bite to the dialogue.
Besides, this aint Sense and
Sensibility. Its hard to take a
movie seriously where three
Oscar-nominated actors (Willem
Dafoe, Samantha Morton and
Thomas Haden Church) portray
creatures that look like some-
thing from the produce aisle.
Or when Collins, playing the
independent-minded, combative
heroine, dresses like shes head-
lining at the classiest gentlemens
club in Alpha Centauri. Kitsch,
wearing mostly a glorified loin-
cloth, gives a spiritless perform-
ance; his pectorals and impec-
cable, spa-like grooming do the
talking. Collins and Kitschs
outrageous costuming shes an
academic, by the way are
never commented upon by Stan-
ton or the writers. That lack of
awareness is unsurprising since
John Carter has no idea how to
consistently entertain us.
Then again, what do you ex-
pect for $250 million?

H
e may be a full-time
poet now, but Taylor
Mali, known for his
YouTube video What Teachers
Make, is something of a
champion for what he seems to
consider the unsung heroes of
todays schools.
Teaching is a way of I
sound so corny saying this
but its a way of seeing the
future in your classroom every
day, Mali said in a recent
phone interview. So its a kind
of preparing for the future.
And its passing on to children
the skills that will bring about
a better life for them.
Though Mali taught in the
classroom for nine years and
now makes the rounds teaching
workshops and performing
spoken word poetry (which,
when performed in a competi-
tion with other poets, is con-
sidered a form of slam poetry),
he considers what he currently
does to be just another form
of the profession.
When I would be on stage
and somebody would ask me
(why I stopped teaching), I
would say, You know what, I
miss teaching every day, but
the truth is I might be able to
do more for the teaching pro-
fession outside of the class-
room then I could when I was
in it, Mali began.
And although thats true,
people would come up to me
afterwards and say, Dont
think for a second that youve
stopped teaching.
Mali will bring his particular
brand of intellect to Marywood
University on Monday, March
19 for a performance and book
signing. He has a new book of
short essays and reflections on
teaching coming out at the end
of the month, What Teachers
Make, of which he will be
auctioning off uncorrected
proof copies and donating the
proceeds to the American Can-
cer Society. Hes also got two
books of poetry on shelves,
The Last Time As We Are
and What Learning Leaves.
When asked to define the
difference between written
poetry and spoken-word poetry,
Mali referred to his experience
as the curator of Page Meets
Stage at the Bowery Poetry
Club in New York City, where
page-oriented poets and slam
or spoken word artists go
back and forth poem for po-
em.
In the seven years Ive been
curating that, Ive noticed that
poets who write primarily for
the page spend hours putting
together words they know that
will sound great when they are
read aloud, he said. But then
when they actually read them
aloud, they feel like their work
has been done for them
Whereas a spoken word poet
would say I spent a lot of time
putting these words together
that sound beautiful, and now
let me equally spend some
time figuring out how to give
them the most beautiful send-
off that they can. W

K
now that feeling of wak-
ing up to a different day
of the same old stuff?
What would you call that? If
the answer has something to
do with the second day of
February and a rodent belong-
ing to the Sciuridae family,
then you probably owe screen-
writer Danny Rubin some kind
of a royalty.
As the brains behind the
1993 Bill Murray flick,
Groundhog Day, Rubin is
responsible for adding the
indispensable phrase to our
pop-culture lingo but he
wasnt the only one. In his
e-book, How To Write
Groundhog Day, he takes fans
and fledgling writers down the
road he followed to Punx-
sutawney, Pa., which included
quite a bit of help from his
director, Harold Ramis, and
everyone else involved in the
film.
While the title may lead one
to believe that this is a how-to
for writing a successful
screenplay, its more of a how-
to on one way that could be
accomplished. Rubin sums it
up pretty well in the beginning
when he writes, Remember,
many books can teach you
how to write your screenplay.
But only this book can teach
you how to write mine. Heres
what I knew and when I knew
it. The book is less about
telling and more about show-
ing this is certainly not
Screenplay Writing for Dum-
mies.
How To Write Groundhog
Day isnt necessarily only for
those who want to write,
though. It includes so many
literary artifacts from the mak-
ing of the movie, including the
original script, that people
who enjoyed watching Murray
kidnap a groundhog and let it
get behind the wheel will sure-
ly have no gripes about this
book. In that way, it appeals to
everyone. The notes on the
script could be helpful to a
writer, to see what the kinds of
problems one faces when con-
fronted with the desires of the
studio, the director and whom-
ever else. And those same
notes surely hold a certain
magical value for diehard fans
of the film, which is a cult
classic in its own right.
Even as a casual fan of the
movie, its fascinating to read
about the way it developed and
changed based on the other
spoons that were stirring the
pot. And the nuances of the
film industry, from the way
every little offhand comment
can be taken the wrong way to
the varying expectations a
studio might have for a piece,
is provoking whether or not
you have designs on writing
the next Jennifer Aniston flick.
How To Write Groundhog
Day is a must for enthusiasts
of the movie and perhaps an
added bonus for writers. The
only turn-off is how Rubin
writes as if no movie has ever
or will ever measure up to his
pride and joy. Yes, its enter-
taining, and yes, he might be
writing in a sarcastic, non-
committal tone, but he could
probably stand to eat a slice of
humble pie.

bitch & brag
By Jeff and Amanda of 98.5 KRZ
Jeffs Bitch:
Are you enjoying that $3.79
per gallon gas? Enough is
enough already. People should be
really pissed off, but not just at
the oil companies. Theyre the
easy target.
How about the president? Do
you realize when he took office,
gas was hovering around $1.86 a
gallon. Think about that its
more than doubled!
Back then, presidential candi-
date Barack Obama fought any
cries to increase drilling in this
country, openly mocking the
drill, baby, drill crowd saying it
would take four to five years to
reduce prices that way. Guess
what, were closing in on that
four-to-five-year period. What
was Obamas plan he outlined
last week in a speech? He said
we need a comprehensive ener-
gy policy, and then went on to
mock the drill, baby, drill
crowd. Wow, weve come so far!
The president just shot down
that Keystone pipeline which
would have imported oil from
Canada down into the U.S. He
claimed he wasnt given enough
time to analyze its environmental
impact, when in fact, the study
has been going on for four years!
So now Canada is selling that oil
to China. Great.
We have a motherload of oil
and natural gas in this country.
And with recent technological
breakthroughs in drilling in plac-
es like the Bakken Shale Forma-
tion and the Marcellus discovery
here in our backyard, we dont
need to be sending our money off
to third-world ragtag nations who
then turn around and spend that
money on weapons that could
one day harm us.
I say lets turn on the oil spi-
gots in this country and keep our
money here. One day, wind and
solar power may be the answer,
but were not there yet. Most
solar companies cant even stay
in business without government
bailouts.
If we dont get the price of gas
under control right now, this
whole economy will come crash-
ing down like a house of cards. I
wonder if the president has a
comprehensive plan for that,
too?
Amandas Brag:
If you shop online ever, read
on. Ive
heard rum-
blings on a
cash-back
site called
Ebates for a
while, but
assumed
there was
some kind
of catch or it
was a scam and never joined.
A girl who works here at KRZ
uses it, and after a little bit of
convincing and hearing about her
experience with the site, I joined.
Think of it this way: You can
either shop online the regular
way or you can log in to this site,
do the same shopping you were
going to do and get some cash
back on every purchase. Yes,
they literally send you a percent-
age of what you spent back to
you.
Ebates.com works in conjunc-
tion with various retailers to
reward shoppers for spending
their money. I know of one girl
who did all of her Christmas
shopping online last year and in
return received a check for $250
from Ebates. Each store has its
own percentage-back amount,
and its so easy you dont even
need to enter any codes or any-
thing.
Oh, and speaking of codes, if
there is a current promotional
code for the store youre shop-
ping at, itll be listed right there
for you to use. Pretty cool, right?
I resisted the site for a while, and
now Im kicking myself for it. Its
so easy to use, and I could have
been getting cash back all along.
I just wanted to share this little
nugget of awesome online-shop-
ping information to my fellow
late-night online shoppers.
You also earn a $5 credit just
for signing up, and the more
people you refer, the more mon-
ey you can earn!
The next time you want to
shop online, login to your Ebates
account. If youre looking to
purchase some Toms Shoes bal-
let flats, (thats my next pur-
chase!), go to Ebates.com, search
for Toms Shoes, and itll redirect
you to Toms Shoes website.
Click Shop Now, and youre
good to go. Youll see a tracking
ticket screen pop up before you
go to the other website.
Then you just place your order
as normal, and within a few days,
Ebates will send you an e-mail to
tell you how much cash back
youll be receiving into your
Ebates account. Last I checked,
Sephora is giving 9 percent back!
Drugstore.com is on Ebates, too,
and its percentage is always
pretty high. At one point, Kodak-
.com was offering 20 percent.
Why just shop, when you can
shop and earn cash back? The
money sits in your Ebates ac-
count and every quarter, youll
get a check or a PayPal payment
of your accumulated amount.
Easy and awesome! W
In this March 2 photo, a New York City taxi driver
pumps gas at a BP mini-mart, in New York. Experts say
pump prices are rising, and forecasts see prices as high
as $4.25 per gallon in late April.

but then again ...
By Jim Rising
I
met him at one of those
after-the-service lunches. You
know, the ones where you
gather at long tables and eat as a
group, sitting next to family and
friends of the deceased. He said
three words to me that I had
never heard assembled before in
that order. And I have heard a lot
of words assembled in many
different ways.
He is a big burly man, at that
time sporting a full beard. He
bore a strong resemblance to a
young Jerry Garcia, if Jerry
Garcia wore a Roman collar. He
shared the mashed potatoes and
passed the green beans and said
the words.
I love funerals.
From anyone else it would be
odd. From the Reverend Adam
Sexton, with his beatific smile, it
was intriguing. From anyone else
it would seem like a bad joke. A
poor attempt at macabre humor, a
whistling while you pass the
graveyard. From this peaceful
man of the cloth it was a state-
ment of his philosophy on life.
And death.
Why? I wanted to know. I
will paraphrase his answer a bit
because, well it was a while ago,
and because it was a funeral
lunch for a friends father, and I
wasnt taking notes.
Because of the fellowship.
Because of people like these, in
places like this, gathered to honor
the memory of a person they all
knew and loved. Because of the
comfort and love shared.
I have since learned that this is
pretty typical of this gentle giant.
Take for instance his comment
the day after his home, the recto-
ry of St. John the Baptist Ortho-
dox Church, burned down.
Yesterday was a beautiful
day, he said. We lost everything
material, but I havent lost a
thing. My children (he has eight),
my wife and the firefighters are
safe.
I have met a few like him in
my time. Men (and a few wom-
en) who seem lit from within.
Who display what Ernest He-
mingway called Grace under
pressure.
Guts. Courage. Faith.
Reverend Adam Sexton, who
works part time at a pizza shop to
augment his income from the tiny
parish in Nanticoke, needs a little
help. I have not spoken to him,
but I know what he would say.
God will provide what we
need.
If you think you can help,
should help, you can make a
monetary donation to the Father
Adam Sexton Fire Fund, c/o
Vantage Trust Federal Credit
Union, 158 S. Market St., Nanti-
coke, PA18634. W
Reach Jim at
jmrising@comcast.net. Even
more rants are on his blog at
jamesrising.com.
Reverend Adam Sexton, right, seems to have inspired
Jim.

just for the
health of it
By Tim Hlivia
T
hese days, you cant go
anywhere without wonder-
ing how many calories
are in that? Blame it on the
media, marketing and perhaps
even your fit and slightly neurot-
ic friends.
While its important to ac-
knowledge calories, you
shouldnt obsessive over them.
Gaining a very basic under-
standing of how caloric amounts
are factored, digested and absorb-
ed should be enough to help you
identify healthier choices.
The method used to determine
the amount of calories a food
item contains comes from pro-
tein, fat and carbohydrates. Fats
contain the most calories per
gram. Both fats and carbs supply
the body with more usable ener-
gy than protein, thus expending
fewer calories in digestion. Pro-
tein expends the most calories
during the digestive process. If
you want to lose fat, make pro-
tein a priority at every meal.
Fat digestion by comparison is
relatively simple and is absorbed
easily. Absorbing protein differs
by source and carb digestion is
just flat-out tricky. For instance,
the absorption rate of a lollipop
is quite fast and different than
that of broccoli, which is absorb-
ed more slowly.
Its important to remember that
all calories are not created equal.
Our bodies process calories from
protein, fats and carbs differently.
It becomes easy to see why the
golden rule of calories in vs.
calories out doesnt necessarily
apply.
When you think of burning
calories, you probably immedi-
ately think of exercise. And al-
though it may be surprising, your
resting metabolism burns the
bulk of your daily calories, not
exercise. Hitting the gym to burn
off last nights dessert doesnt
work, although this is a common
practice for many gymgoers. You
simply cannot out-train a bad
diet. You can offset some in-
gested calories by exercising
before your big meal and by
using exercises that increase your
resting metabolism.
A healthy diet cannot be borne
by merely glancing at the calorie
amount listed on a label. Its just
not that easy. Its time to stop
counting. Instead, start thinking
about where your food is coming
from and what nutrients youre
giving your body.
Here are a few quick tips to get
you started focusing on nutrition
the right way:
Track fat, protein, and carbs
when evaluating foods, not just
total calories.
If you want to lose fat, make
protein a priority.
Shoot for 35-40 grams of
fiber daily.
Take frequent breaks
throughout your workday to
move your body.
When at the gym, train
smarter, not harder.

about nutrition and fitness, join
us at Leverage Fitness Studio
(900 Rutter Ave., Forty Fort) for
our 2nd Annual Precision Fitness
Workshops Wednesday, March 14

By Rachel A. Pugh
Weekender General Manager
D
ebunk the myths and learn a
little about being a redhead. At
howtobearedhead.com, you can
learn all the ins and outs.
The Weekender caught up
with Adrienne Vendetti, who founded the site
with her sister, Stephanie.
WEEKENDER: The United States is
said to have the most redheads in the
entire world. Why do you think that is?
VENDETTI: There are two reasons why
there are more redheads in the United States
than anywhere else: 1. Many people living in
the United States are decedents from Europe,
and that is where red hair is originated from.
2. Red hair is the No. 1 trend from 2010
to present because many celebrities have
gone/are going red, and its an unbelievably
empowering color!
WEEKENDER: Historically, redheads
were said to have fery tempers and be
more libidinous. Where does this stem
from, and is there any accuracy to it?
VENDETTI: (My sister and I) know
that historically redheads are known to
have tempers based solely on the fact that
lines are those that are free of chemicals and
designed for sensitive skin: Aveeno, Alba
Botanica and Kiehls.
WEEKENDER: If a woman is not
a natural redhead buts yearns to go
red, any advice on how to make the
transition? Any specifc shades she
should try frst?
VENDETTI: Since going red has
been the most popular trend from 2010 to
present, How to be a Redhead has done
many makeovers on women dying their hair
red, and every single lady has had gone for
a different shade of red. Choosing the right
shade depends on skin tone, complexion and
personality! Therefore, before going red,
its essential to visit a hair colorist and get
the perfect match for you!
WEEKENDER: What can people
expect when visiting your website
howtobearedhead.com?
VENDETTI: (We) are empowering every
redhead to feel condent, to look amazing
and to rock their natural beauty... W
In the red
a redheads hair is ery and bold in
color. But we believe our generation relates
stereotypical redhead features to the one-and-
only Lucille Ball. She set the comic tone for
redheads worldwide and to this day is known
as The Redhead of the Century.
WEEKENDER: Where does the
termginger come from, and when
it comes down to it, what in the world
does this mean?
VENDETTI: The word ginger
originated as a derogatory word in the
United Kingdom and till this day, many
redheads overseas do not like to be called
gingers because of this occurrence. But,
in the United States, the word ginger is
almost welcomed and many think the word
is cute. Therefore, in the United Kingdom,
ginger may be a word to make fun of
redheads and make them feel isolated, but in
America, it is another word for redhead.
WEEKENDER: Who do you feel are
some of the most famous redheads
and why?
VENDETTI: There are so many celebrity
redheads! But our favorites are Lucille Ball,
Julianne Moore, Christina Hendricks and
Emma Stone.
WEEKENDER: What are some of the
best colors a redhead should wear?
VENDETTI: Stephanie has been deemed
a Redhead Fashion &Accessories Expert
and is always breaking redhead fashion
myths. Redheads can wear a multitude of
colors, but this season, the best colors a
redhead can wear are cobalt blue, emerald
green and deep, auburn red.
WEEKENDER: Do skincare products
differ for a redhead? What are some of
the best lines for a girl with red locks?
VENDETTI: (Ive) been deemed a
Redhead Beauty Expert, and this question
is asked the most from the How to be a
Redhead audience. Yes, yes, yes! Skincare
products differ a great deal for redheads.
Natural redheads have sensitive, fair skin
that is genetically thinner than blondes and
brunettes; bottled redheads must choose
different beauty products to compliment
their red locks and features. Therefore,
its essential to choose the right redhead
friendly products. Some of our favorite
Forget the old adage that blondes have more fun: Since 2010, going red is the No. 1 choice for hair color.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH20)
When someone tells you something
thats hard to hear, take a moment to con-
sider what might be behind their words.
Before you bristle with indignation or
slouch off to sulk, imagine why they might
have said what they did. Did they really
want to hurt you? Or was telling this truth
actually a sign that theres a problem they
want to solve (rather than walk away
from)? Consider the possibility that speak-
ing up might have been nearly as hard for
them as it was for you to listen to what
they had to say. Hopefully, this rather ma-
ture insight will help you have a different
and ultimately more productive
response to their words than youd have
had otherwise.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL19)
Your efforts to help someone may be so
unwelcome that they become fuel for a
battle between you two. Thats unfortunate,
but mostly out of your hands. Trying to
look out for someone who needs it is
something thats in your nature, and Id
hate for you to stop doing it just because
they might not be able to accept it or ap-
preciate your efforts. Please do the right
thing and offer aid but at the same time
also collect the information and allies you
might need should things turn sour instead
of sunny as a result of your actions.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20)
There comes a time when parents must
finally accept their childrens autonomy
and let go of control. Thats not to say
theyll necessarily ever stop caring or
worrying, but butting out and letting their
kids make their own decisions (and yes,
mistakes) is necessary. The same goes for
other kinds of relationships. You may not
be able to help what you actually feel, but
what you do is still under your control. In
this case, even if you know better, or even
exactly what someone should do (instead
of what theyre doing), what you do is
mind your own business, and keep your
mouth shut.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)
Theres a tremendous difference be-
tween offering aid and stepping in and
taking over. Even though you may very
well be able to make someones life much
easier in the moment, youre not helping
them in the long run if you just do some-
thing for them. Even though theyd be
enduringly grateful, you actually wouldnt
be doing them any favors. Quite the con-
trary. Let them be sour and resentful that
you stepped aside and forced them to sink
or swim mostly on their own. They may
not thank you for it later, but they really
ought to.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22)
Establishing ground rules for your rela-
tionships is sometimes very important
to you. I understand; when you let some-
one inside your protective shell, they have
tremendous capacity to hurt you, and you
want to try to keep that from happening.
Most other people dont necessarily need
all those rules and dont worry about this
stuff, so forcing them to have this kind of
conversation is a special form of torture
which they understandably wont appre-
ciate. See if you can forego it this time. If
you absolutely must say something, edit it
down as much as you can. The shorter and
sweeter, the better.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22)
Apologies are only worthwhile if theyre
sincere. If you cant mean it when you say
youre sorry, please try not to say it at all.
Doing it only because its expected of you
is pretty lame. Heres hoping you can come
up with valid reasons of your own to deliv-
er an apology when ones called for, so its
genuine and not forced and fake which
would be completely counterproductive. If
you cant, thats far from ideal, but its still
better to be real about it then to pretend
contrition where none exists. That, by
itself, would just require another apology.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22)
Dont give the things and people you
dislike a lot of energy. Ignore them. Think
of how counterproductive it is when, say,
conservative Christian groups blacklist a
book or movie their actions only cause
it, ironically, to become more popular as
people wonder, Whats all the fuss
about? Even if all youre doing is com-
plaining or talking about all the things you
see that are wrong, youre still spending an
awful lot of time and energy on something
you dont really want to play a big part of
your life. Focus instead on all the wonder-
ful things youve got going on, and when
that negative stuff pops up, just do your
best to not spare it more than a thought.
LIBRA(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22)
People expect things of you all the time,
and its in your nature to at least try to
deliver so much so that you dont al-
ways (or even often) consider whether or
not their expectations are the least bit fair.
Sometimes, theyre simply not, and youre
really screwing yourself over by assuming
otherwise and trying to live up to the ridic-
ulous things being asked of you. Get a
reality check. Is your accommodating
personality causing you to bend over back-
wards for someone who really doesnt
deserve it (and should be ashamed that
they even asked)? Obviously, if the an-
swers yes, stop immediately.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21)
Training people to notice their oversized
senses of entitlement is a hard bit of work,
but it eventually pays off. Just think how
much more pleasant the worlds become
now that most smokers realize how filthy,
offensive and shameful their habit is and
go out of their way to shield the rest of us
from it. This week, its your duty to point
out to someone how often theyre stepping
on others toes and help them find a more
accommodating way to navigate through
life without inconveniencing or hurting
people. They will not thank you for it
but we will. Thanks!
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21)
Being put on the spot sucks. If you get
asked a question in a situation where it
would be hard to say, no, it could be
because the asker feared what youd an-
swer in a more private, lower-pressure
situation. Thats potentially a sneaky, de-
vious move. Of course, there are other,
more innocuous reasons to place someone
in such an awkward position. Perhaps the
askers socially inept or genuinely thinks
this is what youd want, for some reason.
Its your job to figure out which category
this situation falls into and if its be-
cause theyre cowardly or manipulative, its
also your job to call them on it.
CAPRICORN(DEC. 22-JAN. 19)
People change. Their desires change,
and this evolution is rarely guided by logic
or reason. Imagining your relationship
with someone is essentially set in stone
is pretty foolish, because any interesting
persons needs, wants and goals will trans-
form over time. You must learn to love
who theyre becoming, not just who they
once were. Sadly, thats not always possible
(thus the high rate of divorce). However, in
this case I think it might be quite likely
provided youre flexible enough to notice
all the wonderful ways someones evolved,
rather than just paying attention to the stuff
thats not like it once was.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18)
Taking the high road isnt especially fun.
In fact, it often robs you of the sweet satis-
faction of revenge or simply knocking
someone off their high horse. Neverthe-
less, despite losing out on those delicious
moments in the short-term, being gracious,
patient, generous and forgiving with those
who dont exactly deserve it will pay out
better dividends in the long run. Go ahead
and fantasize all you want about what you
wish you could do or say, but leave it all in
your head, while out here in the real world
you demonstrate the patience of a saint.
People will notice and admire you for it. W

sorry mom&dad
By Justin Brown
D
ear Mom & Dad,
You know youre start-
ing to grow up when you
go to a house party and dont
steal anything. So far, Ive been
to one house party where I
didnt leave with someone elses
belongings shoved down my
pants! Adulthood ... here I come.
Whenever I went to a house
party in college, I treated the
experience like a vacation. I
always had to leave with a sou-
venir. In my state of inebriation,
I saw each dresser drawer or
kitchen cupboard as a different
shelf in a gift shop. Thanks to
these parties, I was always fully
stocked on the three Cs: Con-
doms, cologne and canned soup.
Sometimes Id be so drunk
that I would forget what I shov-
ed down my pants. Then Id
remember when shot glasses and
cell phones would continuously
pop out of my boxers one by
one, like anal beads from the
rear of an adventurous porn star
in the 1970s.
My only rule when it came to
stealing things at a party was to
make sure it wasnt a friends
house. I broke that rule when I
stole an inflatable whale.
Ben is going to freak out
when he notices his whale is
gone! my friend Jersey pointed
out.
As an occasional philanthro-
pist, my conscience got the best
of me.
Fine! Ill return it, I conced-
ed, but not until I get my use
out of it.
Thats when I came up with
the brilliant idea of constructing
a Facebook page for the in-
flatable whale. My friends Jersey
and Lauren joined me in taking
the whale around campus to
pose for pictures to be posted on
its profile. Not only did we take
pictures of the whale swimming
in a fountain, reading an ency-
clopedia in the library and hang-
ing out with two black guys, but
Jersey and Lauren also reenacted
a three-way with it in my bed.
By the end of the day we all
got naked with the inflatable
whale. After binge drinking Four
Lokos, we became outspokenly
territorial over the whale, fight-
ing over it like jealous sister
wives.
I want to take the whale
home with me, insisted Lauren.
Why should you keep it?
asked Jersey.
Because he got me preg-
nant! Lauren screamed desper-
ately.
Thats ridiculous! I shouted.
None of us are keeping it.
We then kissed the whale
goodbye with our tongues and
threw it in the river so it could
find its way to becoming the
object of someone elses affec-
tion.
Sorry,
Justin W
A friends inflatable toy had a whale of a time thanks to
Justin and company.
The inflatable object
of my affection
