Be Kind, Rewind
By
Polygamy freaks me out. So does incest. But I'd make exceptions on both fronts if it meant that I'd get to double-marry into the Coen family and bathe in the delight of filmy goodness for as long as we three shall live. To those of you who know who the Coen brothers are, I say this: if you aren't as in love with them as I am, shame on you, robot! For you film pledges out there, prepare for initiation.
The Best Weekend Getaways
Helen, Ga. About an hour and a half west of Clemson you will find Helen, a quaint mountain town styled after a traditional Bavarian alpine village, nestled in the Blue Ride Mountains along the Chattahoochee River.

Horoscopes
By
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Lately, you feel as though your friends don't take you seriously. Maybe if you stopped wearing such ridiculous-looking clothes, they'd actually listen to what you're talking about. I'm just saying. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) That cute classmate of yours is occupying your thoughts lately.
Ask a Squirrel
Q: Mr. Squirrel, thank you for taking the time to answer a few questions. After Sunday's blackout, there is quite a bit of interest surrounding you. A: That vould be Comrade Squirrel. And, you capitalist pigs should be interested in me. Q: Whoa, wait. "Vould"? "Capitalist pigs"? Er, Comrade Squirrel, I get the sense that you're an advocate of the former USSR.
Simplicity defines Buckcherry's new album
"Black Butterfly" lacks originality but compensates with simple tune

Buckcherry ain't nothin' fancy, but that's the key to their charm. Their songs aren't complicated, but in such a complicated world easily digestible music sits with merciful ease in our stomachs.
