Like a shot to the heart

Hunters and gatherers, it's time to eat

By CHRISTINE LIU

If the last time you gunned down anything was during a reckless spree of Oregon Trail, Big Buck Hunter or—dear god—Duck Hunt, take comfort. It certainly doesn't preclude you from feasting on the flesh of the hunted and the fruits of the foraged.

Using Massachusetts' hunting seasons as inspiration—either to dine on farm-raised game or to target warm, fuzzy prey in the wilderness—we present a paean to game. Game!

Curl up with your favorite meat (or mushroom) and warm up your blood from the inside out.

Rothbury Music Festival: Post 1

By caballero on Fri, Jul 3, 2009 9:40 pm

I wish I could say I saw a couple more cities on my way to Rothbury, Michigan. We—Spencer, Mills, Maysa, Keith and myself—drove from Allston to Michigan in about 17 hours, passing through Cleveland, Detroit, Lansing and a couple other places along the way. After making it through a 20-hour bus ride in Argentina a few years ago, I've learned to appreciate all the things you see along the way during a road trip that you miss on a plane.

 


Fuck Michael Jackson

The guy could dance, hooked up with a couple of good producers, diddled little kids (allegedly, yeah right), and is now dead. Good riddance.


Dear, dear Governor Sanford

By Dargus on Thu, Jun 25, 2009 7:13 pm

When apologizing publically to your wife and constituents, here's a rough list of things you should probably avoid mentioning:

 

1. Your experience, even that which falls within your college years, of working across national borders without a work visa. This goes double for high-ranking, GOP president-hopefuls.

 

2. That you were exhausted by your own efforts to turn down federal stimulus money.
