Recipe: Chicken Will Not Give You An STD

How Masculine Are You?
In the interest of public duty and self-discovery, here is a foolproof test for all you guys out there to discover how masculine you truly are, once and for all.
Jetez La Vache!
Street realizes that it can seem daunting to be surrounded by such a plethora of brilliant and inquisitive minds--from the brimming intellectual curiosity of Wharton students and the singularly profound Penn social interactions that exist as relief from deep thinking and subsequent introspective dilemmas.
Room: Five Pretty Princesses
Dan: Before we get started I just wanted to clear the air and say that yes, we are all eligible bachelors. So tell me about this princesses poster on the door. Andy: We woke up one morning and it was just there.
Yarn: An Exercise In Still Life: That Dead Mouse on 38th and Sansom
On my first day back at Penn, I tripped over a dead mouse. I was wearing flip-flops. At the corner of 38th and Sansom, I felt something wet and furry brush against my big toe, and then I fell down.
Quick Flicks: Dracula Sucks
The classic 1979 porn flick Dracula Sucks has something for everyone's pleasure. To be graphic: there are lesbians, incest, necrophilia and, of course, plenty of old-fashioned missionary-style sex.
Batman Saves the Day
When I was growing up, my soul and I had a deal--I didn't kill him by drinking rat poison, and he didn't bother me with any of that conscience crap.
Derailing PennTRAK

At first glance, Justin Theroux looks like he was born and bred to play Adam Kesher, the movie director in David Lynch's latest whacked-out film, Mulholland Drive.
wots: Grumpy old men
Strolling along Locust Walk the other day, I came to an epiphany. This wasn't just another one of my lame-ass "Whoops, I forgot to write my term paper" or "Two girls at once... sure, why not?" epiphanies.
Streetscenes: On the sneak tip
"I started DJ'ing freshman year, like 1999 for me, that spring.... I did the same show that I do now, but it was just a little bit reduced, its isn't as big as it is now.... My show is The Storm [hip-hop, R&B, underground rap, dance hall, and reggae], usually comes on Thursdays 8 to 10 [p.m.], but sometimes I go in the studio like after hours and I'll go and, you know, make a little quiet storm, like I'll do R&B for a little bit, just on the sneak tip." "Sometimes we'll have guests in the studio..., like I'll put a beat on and they'll freestyle to it and I remember a couple weeks ago we had somebody come in and we had a freestyle, and we have Instant Messenger in the studio, so they would tell us how the guy was doing and we had two people, and one guy was real good and the other guy was OK, I guess, and the guy on Instant Messenger was letting us know about that..." "It's on channel 2, ResNet... and www.wqhs.org, we're working on it right now so we're gonna try and get some better reception so people can hear it on the radio on campus and off campus.... Watch out for us because we've been sleeping for a long time and it's about time for us to wake up and take this campus over like we're supposed to."
