Universal had hoped to grab its share of the family audience with Babe: Pig in the City, the much anticipated sequel to its 1995 sleeper hit, Babe. But even before arriving in theaters, the new Babe has taken a sudden turn down a dark alley. Last week Universal took the perhaps unprecedented step of canceling a star-studded premiere of the film. The studio said it canceled the Los Angeles event, which was to have been a benefit for the Children's Defense Fund, because the talking-animal special effects weren't done. But that was, well, double-talk...
...bounces, and that is how Minnesota got a 6 ft. 4 in., 250-lb. Governor named Jesse ("The Body") Ventura, and all week Minnesotans were feeling sort of giddy about it, like Lutherans who've drunk a little more than we meant to and now here we are singing Alley Oop and dancing on the sofa.

Here's one fellow you wouldn't like to meet in a dark alley: 36 feet long, built like a T. rex, a hundred teeth sharp as razors, claws the size of your foot.

Vance and other schools in the area are in the middle of tornado alley. Whenever a tornado watch is sounded, the portable classrooms are emptied, and pupils are shepherded into classrooms in the main building...
Although seeking out one of these establishments may seem daunting, in reality it is simpler than one would imagine. Lanes and Games, the largest bowling alley in the Boston area, is just a paltry 10 minute walk from the Alewife T-station in Cambridge. This grand dame of a bowl-o-rama offers two floors, 40 lanes and two different types of bowling options--10 pin and the New England phenomenon known as candlepin. Deodorized rental shoes, greasy communal bowling balls, fuzzy multi-colored walls and pink plastic lane dividers make this bowling establishment a palace where tackiness reigns supreme...
