...titillation: the shoddy attempts at double-entendre ranged from "You only play with your balls when you're worked up" to "Is that a banana in your pants? Because I will peel it for you" to "C'mon girl, give me your biochemical desires." Now we just want to hurl...

...President-elect Obama was the correct choice for Person of the Year. However one cannot ignore the impact of the shoe-throwing Arab journalist.

A lot of people just thought we were insane and quite possibly compromising the Harvard-Yale experience, but when you put a hockey-loving Massachusetts man together with a girl from southern California and give them a chance to see fans hurl raw fish onto the ice, not going was out of the question.
