Any experienced online shopper can attest to one of the activity's preeminent perks: the continued astonishment at the fact that a cyber-life mouse click can manifest itself as a real-life package.
Pure Illumination
"You mean actual flames?" "Yes." "Well, we can't set Mick Jagger on fire." It would be redundant.
Beer Milkshake
Since it was first mentioned in John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, some people just can't seem to shake the idea of a beer milkshake.
Coitus Legitimus
You're watching a movie with a couple of friends and that uncomfortable sex scene comes on screen. The actors aren't really having sex though, so it's okay to sneak a peek.
Definitely A Contact Sport
Michael Haneke's Funny Games is Pirandello on steroids. Its portrayal of authorial caprice and wantonness all in the name of "entertainment" and "plausibility" is brutal, draining and eminently revealing.
Street Beats
Nathan's Kosher hot dogs to be sold in vending machines. Machines containing fried pork rinds moved to different hallway. Enzyte owner and mother found guilty of mail fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.
Ego of the Week: Rylan Collins
Freshman Rylan Collins has a lot to balance: ROTC, a pending record deal and Penn Engineering. He still has time, however, to go for the ladies and work on his "mojo." Street: We hear you turned down a record deal to come to Penn.
Be Kind, Check This Find
Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind is a movie that wants to be many things. It strives to be a movie about loving movies.
Allegro Beer Tasting
For many of us, beer is something you find in kegs and drink out of red plastic cups. To some, it's the beverage you sip casually over cigars and pretentious conversation.
Word on the Street
It all started with a simple prompt: "Course of study desired: Please check only one and write appropriate code(s) in corresponding boxes." As a high school senior at the ripe age of 17, this part of the application seemed like a piece of cake.
Be Your Own Pet Interview
After the show, Street was able to catch up with lead singer Jemina Abegg and lead guitarist Jonas Stein to talk about the upcoming album, touring and their abrasive style of crowd control. Street: How does it feel to be back in Philadelphia? Jemina Abegg: We always have awesome shows in Philly so it's great to be back. Jonas Stein: The last time we were here was at the First Unitarian Church opening up for Sonic Youth.
Your Guide To: Campus Caffeine
Bucks County Coffee 40th and Locust First Sip: Filled with students too lazy to walk all the way to Van Pelt, this coffee shop is like Rosengarten with music. Cream and Sugar: While you wouldn't exactly go here for the coffee (because frankly, it's not that good), Bucks does have ice cream, cereal, soup and Wi-Fi. Grinds: Very crowded during midterms, finals and snowstorms.
Razz Beer Float
I was eight when I had my first root beer float. Granted, that was a little late in life, however things move slower in England.
Best Week Ever
First, they were passed over for the national bird. Then the school mascot. Things were not looking up for hawks, at least not until last week when they attacked an unsuspecting squirrel on College Green, gaining fame and more fans than the fighting Quakers themselves.
Your Guide To: Spring Break
SKI TRIP What to Bring: Hand warmers, a fluorescent fleece hat (it'll keep you warm, plus you'll be easy to spot on the slopes), long johns (you might feel like an ass in a onesie, but you'll freeze your butt off without it). What to do: Step outside the box - if you always ski, snowboard.
The Week in Music
2/28: RX Bandits and The English Beat The Trocadero, All Ages Break out your digital recorders and head down to Chinatown to catch five-piece California ska band the RX Bandits at the Troc.
Ego of the Week
Kaegan Sparks hails from a small southern-Texas town, but she's making a big mark on Penn's urban campus.
Consumerism: Fred Style
I came to the University of Pennsylvania with the goal of becoming an economics major. I had never taken an econ class before, but it seemed like the most concrete option for a College student such as myself who fears the possibility of living a poverty-stricken life.
Defibrillator
Raekwon Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 1995 If you thought that rap about Colombian drug lords, guns and organized crime was pedestrian, think again.
