...facility certainly deserves fanfare. To describe the air inside as "smelling strongly of cheese" is not quite capturing it; it is as if the air comprises nothing but swirling molecules of brie and stilton, violently bombarding your person like so many solar particles. Arrayed on the shelves, in perfect storage conditions, are golden wheels whose names speak of rainswept farms, dark cellars and expense: Ardrahan Large, Innes Log, Stinking Bishop, Ticklemore Goat. If you want to make a meal of it right there and then, you can pull up a chair and choose a bottle of wine...
...garden parties. For me, it represents neither and that’s probably why I like it. I bought my first and only seersucker blazer in Canada at a thrift shop on summer break after freshman year. It was in mint condition, the right size, and the perfect price ($10). Canada is an odd locale for seersucker suits, and even after attending high school there, I have yet to see any of it worn on the shores of British Columbia.

The two walks in the fourth were the only blemishes on an otherwise near perfect outing for Roberts who recorded a one-hit, shutout, performance. “They did not hit her too hard today,” Allard said. “We made a lot of good plays behind her.” HARVARD 3, HOLY CROSS 0 If offense was the story...

A lot of the DVDs available are so-called "coat movies," the kind of low-rent pirating famously (and hilariously) depicted in an episode of Seinfeld in which Kramer agrees to smuggle a hand-held camera into a theater in order to illegally tape a movie. In a coat movie you can literally hear people coughing and half the time someone will stand up right in front of the camera. And sometimes language is an issue. I had to buy three copies of Casino Royale until...
