...second Guitar Hero World Tour Marathon (you don’t get to watch the whole thing—thank God) and feel free to chuckle at the girl who gets nailed in the face during the 100-person game of dodgeball. The video culminates in a custard pie fight of epic proportions. One hundred twenty people take up pies and fight in the name of Weezer and for the honor of participating in a world record-breaking event.

This fall, in the custard-colored dining room of Chanterelle, an icon of French cuisine in Manhattan, the restaurant held its ninth annual sake-pairing dinner. The chandeliered room flowed with Japanese syllables as master sommelier Roger Dagorn led the pouring of a different sake with each of the nine courses. At the main table...
...around us were staring and pointing. Finally, one young Southern gentleman, seated several seats to the right in the row below us, became so curious that he yelled, "What are they eating?" The answer was swift and tinged with horror from those seated immediately in front of us: "Custard pie and uncooked vegetables!" We still get a chuckle over that "tailgate party...
