Surely I am not the only TV viewer
Who finds HBO's "Hard Knocks" training-camp series way more interesting than actual NFL games. www.awfulannouncing.com I'm a relative newbie. The season that hooked me was the one with the Jets.

Great moments in missing the point
I'm sure this famous tabloid's editors knew their readers and sought to give them what they wanted. And perhaps the paper's actual Woodstock coverage was slightly more nuanced. But "HIPPIES MIRED IN SEA OF MUD"? Why not just go with "GET A HAIRCUT YA BUMS"…
Two "It's a Wonderful Life" questions
1. Ever tuck an envelope full of cash into a newspaper and then put the paper down and forget it? We all remember when Uncle Billy did just that. Sure, he might have been a stupid, silly old fool. But let he who has never…
The Dave Clark Five's all-time ballad
www.tumblr.com Maybe people responded to this because so many of the group's hits were clamorous, and this was so gentle. A sweet, simple song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvQY6b-VXu8

Waitts still waiting for spelling correction
You know the artistic display of Inland Northwest lakes in the entranceway floor at River Park Square? Sure. Of course. Well, do you also remember how Waitts Lake was spelled "Waits"? I had a Slice column item about it on Oct. 19, 1999. And there…

The Wednesday Slice question 1
How did you do when, as a little kid, you were asked to sell candy or gift-wrapping paper to raise money for some extracurricular group, club or youth sports organization? A) Fine. My mom sold all that stuff at her office. B) I tried to…
How were you as a talent scout?
