...anti-Vietnam War campaign of the 1970s are cut from the same cloth as the late night pizza run and the surprisingly-alcoholic Scorpion Bowl?For the sake of humanity, let’s hope not. Late-night thinking may have produced the keg-stand and the Taco Bell ad that entices us with all the “crunchy, gooey, melty stuff” we can handle, but beyond those strokes of brilliance it has been good for little more than bad hangovers, missed class, and missed opportunities.

The rocks outside the Science Center also smell inexplicably bad, as if they were formed from something other than the Sands...

I ride by the national chains and opt for the local pizza place, the local taco stand, anything that's run by the family. Then I'm going to have influence over what I want to see on the menu, and I can express my desire for local ingredients directly to the CEO, because chances are he's running the oven. He's got the skillet in his hands...
