...Emmitt Smith, the league's all-time leading rusher--for now. Tomlinson is the best ever, gushes Chargers coach Marty Schottenheimer. That means better than Red Grange, Jim Brown, Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. Heck, Tomlinson even completed two of his three passes--both for touchdowns--and is a garish seven out of 10, with six TD tosses, in his career. With the dazzling runs, sure hands and strong arm, LT, as he is known, has created the ultimate matchup problem. He has set the new standard for what a running back can do--and with his team-first attitude...

...painting in Leverett Dining Hall. This garish work was commissioned by the Leverett House master in 1990. The artist, Jerald Webster, made three paintings and the master chose which one his house would display. I can only imagine how ugly the other two must have been. 2. The mural in Quincy Dining Hall.

...Guys--because they spotlight the ridiculousness that we accept. When he's at a rodeo, driving the crowd into a frenzy with anti-Iraqi, pro-war cheers, Borat demonstrates how much aggression is intertwined with patriotism. And his attempts to be American pinpoint exactly how the world sees us: garish, violent, nouveau riche, a land of Donald Trumps and 50 Cents...

...hilarious—Finn plays a TV news anchorman unable to land an interview with his uninterested paramour—but it’s also heartbreaking, since every other member of the band gets with the girl. It’s 70s, with the square-frame glasses and garish striped ties, but the boys wear ’em with irony suitable for the oughts. The song rocks hard—but there’s Finn’s nasal speech-singing drone squarely in the middle of the mix. The video, too, is stripped bare. No special...
