--The Glory of Female Curvature--
All about why certain cultures like womens' butts and others prefer breasts. Myself, I'm a big fan of both.

Damn, Feb. 17th was Famous Amos Day in St. Louis and I missed it! D'oh!

A picture of Wally "Famous" Amos.

Original Packaging from 1975.

Fun with audio: "Wally gives cookie making advice"

--My First Big Gap Adventure--
Back in high school, my friends and I frequented the mall. We'd usually just walk around, and sometimes we'd stop by the arcade or the comic shop. Well, every mall has its monument to conformity and groupthink, the Gap (these days supplemented and perhaps replaced by Abercrombie and Fitch). Any clothing chain that can convince millions of people to pay more than $10 for socks must be respected and feared for its marketing prowess.

This article is about one man's first foray into the Gap.

"As I neared my destination and the all-too-familiar Gap sign came into view, I had to calm myself. 'Just act as though you belong among them,' I told myself. 'Pretend that you're one of their kind. Think khaki.' So I sauntered purposefully through the doors, feigning a casualness that I did not feel. This was my first mistake."
