If you thought bottled water was the biggest scam ever, let's go that one better on the absurdity scale:
“I’ll start with an order of water, move on to some H20, and, to drink, I’d like a glass of your finest vintage water.”
A tale of two cities. Indianapolis:
Only four days to get ready: On Saturday we get to celebrate National Ice Cream Day!
Whether you get it in a cup or in a cone, atop a waffle or in a banana split, make sure to visit your local ice cream shop today to get some cold, delicious ice cream. Watch out for ice cream events and freebies happening in your area.
Now we know why Mayor Bloomberg wants to ban giant sugared drinks -- so there'll be more room in tiny apartments!
And you thought your apartment was small.
Here's an urban problem I'll bet you didn't imagine you'd be reading about today. The hobby of "backyard chicken farming" is growing much in Indianapolis that the rounding up of "roving, aggressive chickens" by the Animal Care and Control folks is sharply up. What to do with the captured critters?
OK, I think this bacon thing has finally been taken too far:
Southern California burger chain Slater’s 50/50 has spent the past couple years making a name for itself through its flagship burger patty that blends 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon into a local hero of a menu item.

I don't know why, but it was stuck in my head that, as long as you kept the doors closed, the food in your fridge was good for about 24 hours, and what was in the freezer would be OK for up to three days. Good thing I checked. Every site I looked at had the same thing:
I don't know who said it (I think I've seen it attributed both to Emily Dickinson and Gertrude Stein), so let's just credit it to Anonymous: It’s not true that life is one damn thing after another. It is the same damn thing over and over again. I was going to start this post with, "There they go again," but in reality it's just a continuation of what they've always done:
First lady Michelle Obama tells the Associated Press that she wouldn't want a federal ban on big sugary drink, but applauds Mayor Michael Bloomberg's effort to fight obesity:
Hallelujah -- farm subsudies may be up for grabs:
The Senate is expected to begin debate this week on a five-year farm and food aid bill that would save $9.3 billion by ending direct payments to farmers and replacing them with subsidized insurance programs for when the weather turns bad or prices go south.
