Now, maybe on the page, this was less jarring, with the whole inherent textual not-having-to-look-in-the-...

Courtney Leffall (aka DJ Hump) made a deal with fellow Lehigh alumnus Kyle Adams: If the Mountain Hawks beat Duke, Leffall would do a freestyle rap about it. Well, here it is.

The Baltimore Orioles Are Not Welcome In Korea
Back in February, the Orioles pissed off an entire baseballing nation with their pursuit of a South Korean high school pitcher.

Nicolas Cage, Dying (And Humping January Jones) Before Our Very Eyes
We have reached the point where the release of a new Nicolas Cage movie is less fodder for humor than it is an indignity upon everyone involved with its making.
