• Party Cove's party pooper

  Missouri state Sen. Delbert Scott must be a blast on float trips. The Lowry City Republican wants to ban beer bongs, Jell-O shots, kegs and Mardi Gras beads from Missouri's rivers, the Associated Press reports. The kind of debauchery that went on in our story Party Cove Pimps. Scott filed the bill today, momentarily taking his attention away unconstitutional voter ID bills that stop the canines and corpses from voting. -- By Justin Kendall

• Daily Briefs: Comedy is hilarious!

  Today, the editorial page of The Kansas City Star expresses civic embarrassment, the only remaining emotion we have in our reserved Midwestern hayseed hearts, on behalf of the city for the Funkhouser/Squitiro appearance on Good Morning, America yesterday. And then there were depositions from Squitiro and Funkhouser in which they asserted their victimization at the hands of everyone else on the planet, and also proclaimed their love of comedy. "I find that joking around, humor, opens more doors t

• Now it's the Swedes

  A big Fat City congratulations to fellow Pitch blogger Alan Scherstuhl who has made the big time. By big time I am of course referring to a Swedish newspaper publishing a picture of Scherstuhl's cat eating Rush Limbaugh's grandma's Jell-O salad. (How many possessives can one sentence have?)Running the caption through an online translator it reads: "Here we have an "Under the sea salad", consisting of Jell-O, cream cheese and black olives. The being at the top of the image is Limbaugh shortly bef

• Now, back to Sweden... and meatballs

  It was Fat City blogger Owen Morris, writing today about a Swedish newspaper's article that mentioned -- among other things -- Pitch writer Alan Scherstuhl, his cat, green Jell-O salad and big fat Rush Limbaugh that jolted my memory. Last Friday, on KCUR-FM's Walt Bodine Show, when the discussion finally veered away from Valentine's Day versus Halloween (go to the link, it's just too weird to explain logically), one of the show's listeners called in with three very specific requests.

• Happiness is not another Chinese buffet

  What the world needs now is love, sweet love. What the world does not need, in my opinion, is another low-budget Chinese buffet. I mean, yes, the current economy has added even more importance to those words "all-you-can-eat" -- I have a friend on a fixed income who only eats at buffets anymore and weighs two tons -- but if I'm going to eat big, there better be at least a half dozen dishes on the buffet that I want to eat -- no matter how cheap it is. At the relatively new Happy S

Since then, Studies in Crap has exposed the finest in crazy preachers, out-dated sex guides, existential coloring books, and Limbaugh family

• Thoughts on molecular mixology

  ​The concept of molecular mixology is not as well known as molecular gastronomy -- likely because of some combination of a non-equivalent marketing push (think what Top Chef did for molecular gastronomy), the public's resistance to double-digit prices on cocktails and a bunch of bartenders who choose to make drinks without labeling the process. Tales of the Cocktail 2009 explores a lecture on how influential molecular mixology is in relation to the history of cocktails. It's an interesting bre
