Yesterday, we inquired how all of you had stayed cool over the blazing weather this weekend in the Pacific Northwest. Thankfully, none of you submitted the following idea, which was enacted by two Portland 20-somethings. It does sound like a lovely idea right now, though, as we sit in our stifling home: Portland police arrested a couple in their 20s early Saturday morning for skinny-dipping in the Mount Tabor Reservoir. Both were cited for......

Could there be a way to make internet dating in Seattle even more anonymous? A new site, CrazyBlindDate.com, might be coming to our city to do just that.

Let's take a look back at a week that raised this Zen koan: if Kevin Federline got into a wrestling ring with a wrestler, who would you root for? Austinist was in an entertainment state of mind as they covered the dickens out of the Austin Film Festival, depicted all the Big 12 football coaches as South Park characters, and interviewed Jose Gonzalez. Chicagoist talked about the passion as they bid adieu to Bell......

Kids love bad ideas. They can’t get enough of them. They will spend all summer inside playing video games, they will throw rocks at the girl they like, and they will borrow their dad’s car and try to take the miles off by running it in reverse. However there are some bad ideas that kids just don’t like, for example the WASL. Nerds aside, no kid likes sitting in their second period class taking......
