A zine that is your online and print source for information and opinion on the hype happening in today's world. It was created by some young adults in Lafayette who wanted a forum to express their ideas and art and get some constructive feedback. It's not easy picking a name. If you think I'm kidding, call up your three closest friends and suggest starting a band. Then, see how far past picking a name you get-you'll quickly see exactly what we mean.

A toilet seat that is mounted backward on the pan causing it to overbalance and not remain in the upright position; instead coming crashing down past the urinator creating a momentary flash of panic and misdirection. See Ben's bathroom. Note that trains and aeroplanes have a clip mechanism to prevent this happening.

|
A cartoon created by Strong Bad of homestarrunner.com. 4 girls between the ages of 13 and 19, who do various teenage activities, such as going to the mall, and being killed by a man with a large mouth. The leader of the group is Cheerleader, a rich girl who looks SO GOOD and has a boyfriend. She hangs out with So and So, What's her Face and The Ugly One. So and So is the smart one who is in love with Brett Bretterson, her friend she made up in first grade. What's her face is a depressed girl who gets all the bad luck, is only able to shop at thrift stores, and had to play bass in their band. The Ugly One is well, the ugly one. Her past accomplishments include having the teacher call her "young man" and wearing a three-piece swimsuit. There is also the man with a large mouth who appears in many of the episodes, often to somehow harm one of the four with a word that ends with "'d". Teen Girl Squad. It's SO GOOD! more...

Great. Great start to a call. He wanted to install the Internet connection software we have, so I had him insert the CD. "It ain't workin'!" was all I heard for about two minutes of trying the drive and checking to see if it was really there. * Tech Support: "Sir, could you eject your CD for a moment? We need to check if it's scratched." * Customer: "Ok." * Tech Support: "Look on the bottom of the CD, and see if there are any scratches on it." * Customer: "On the bottom? Shouldn't we check the top?" * Tech Support: "Is the shiny side of the CD on the top?" * Customer: "Of course." * Tech Support: "Ok, could you flip it over so the shiny side is down and then insert it into the drive?" * Customer: "Won't it scratch if I put it in like that?" * Tech Support: "No, it won't scratch." * Customer: "Well, ok...." He inserted the CD in the drive correctly, and then his computer froze. * Customer: "My computer froze! I told you it would scratch the CD!" * Tech Support: "I'm sure that's not the problem--" * Customer: "I can't believe you scratched the CD." * Tech Support: "Ok, sir, could you hold down 'ctrl' and 'alt', and then-- (clunking sounds) Hello? Hello, sir?" There was no one on the line for a moment. Then he spoke up again. * Customer: "I've been holding 'ctrl' and 'alt' for the past two minutes, a... |

| 33. | Wilkes-Barre | ||
|
Up-and-coming city in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The de facto hub of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton/Hazleton metro area which is home to over 600,000 people. Like most Pennsylvania cities, Wilkes-Barre went through hard times in the latter part of the 20th century, but for the past decade or so, the city has been on a serious rebound along with its more notorious, but less happening neighbor, Scranton. With all of the renovations, the scenery in Wilkes-Barre has become very charming, including Northampton and Main, the beautiful riverside areas near Wilkes University, the new PA Dept. of Labor building, new antique downtown lighting system, and the loads of mid to upscale shopping establishments near the arena. Wilkes-Barre is the original home to HBO and Planters Peanuts and there are over 8 colleges/universities both in and around the city. Perhaps not the best place on the planet but a very decent affordable pleasant city located conveniently right outside of the Eastern Seaboard. more...
