...quite violent and - for lack of a better word - Osbournesque, as in shockrocker Ozzy Osbourn, not the playwright John Osborne. The first time I saw a gallero stick the bloody head of a wounded rooster in his mouth, suck on it like a popsicle, and then spit out a thick stream of chicken blood, I thought the combination of beer and sun was playing feverish games with my head. Across the arena I saw my friend Jon's face, and he had the same open-mouth-lost-gringo expression that I imagined my face was showing. No one else seemed...
...Principles of Economics” was the average selling price of $89 at Half.com, where the book has gone for as much as $195 (net profit $40.05). Just post a listing for your book, and then mail it to your buyer. The final analysis? If you have thick text books, use Half.com. If you’re an English major, hold on to “Moby Dick” - it’ll make an impressive door stop after graduation. If you’re smart, maybe you should dip into your roommate’s stash after...

One never saw a nose full view. There was never a full view. They were...
...snack flavors seem to clump around versions of salt and pepper, wasabi and pickle. But the flavor breakthrough has been to finally combine the taste of buffalo wings with the flavor of blue-cheese dip. Kettle Krinkle Cut Chips Buffalo Bleu is a thick potato chip that manages to deliver the slight spice of barbecue with a cool, creamy aftertaste. It's impressive, but there's a vinegar taste that gets in the way. Doritos Blazin' Buffalo & Ranch isn't nearly as complicated, but it takes that weird Cool Ranch flavor I never liked, puts it up front and then...
