   Dirty Cops and Dirty Movies: Chicago’s Notorious Film CensorsWith a name like Metellus Lucullus Cicero Funkhouser, you’d think he’d have been more fun. Like a DJ or something. DJ Funkhouser. But this 1913 Chicago PD Deputy was the opposite of fun. He was in charge of the board that determined which parts of movies needed to be cut in order to be suitable for Chicago theaters. At the time of his reign, he even told the Exhibitors Herald that showing dancing was dangerous because it encouraged teenagers to go to dance halls, which were “the source of much crime and immorality.” Come on, Funkhouser. Come on.  How to Get a Rolex Daytona, No, Seriously, You Have a Chance, Seriously[Partner] The new Rolex Daytona, the 126500LN, is colloquially known as a “Panda” watch because of the design of the dial. Funny thing is, it’s probably easier to buy an actual Panda than this watch. Unless you know about The Premium Time Company.

It’s probably your only shot at owning this watch. Subvocalization: Why Most of Us Have a Voice in Our Heads When We ReadIs there a voice in your head reading this right now? What’s it sound like? We’re genuinely curious and genuinely aware we’ll never know the answer. That’s what’s so lovely about writing and reading. This shared intimacy that neither one of us will ever fully know. Yet here we are. Us, crafting these words with a voice in our head. And you, reading them in a different voice in your head. Apparently, it’s called subvocalization.  America’s Obsession with Hot Dogs, ExplainedThis article begins with a spot-on hot dog movie reference, which got us thinking about our favorite on-screen meat tube moments. There’s a scene in Baskets (season one if memory serves) where one of the characters played by Zach Galifianakis makes, as he calls it, “wieners and rice” for his nieces, and one of the nieces jiggles a naked dog in Galifianakis’ face. Then, when the dad comes home, also played by Zach Galifianakis, he comments, “What’s this? Wieners and rice? Gross.” Okay, that’s enough hot dog talk for today.  Let’s Maybe Draw the Line at Hot Dog MartinisWe lied. More hot dog talk. But only because our collective love of hot dogs needs boundaries. Like any healthy obsession. The line gets crossed when you start mixing olive juice with wiener juice. No, sirs. Unacceptable. As a general rule of thumb, the only time it’s acceptable to make a meal of your cocktail is a Bloody Mary. Martinis are not for “clickbait” recipes.  The MixerWhy so many stories begin with “once upon a time.” This famously haunted New Orleans mansion. Mysteries of the dingo, Australia’s wild dog. The Disney World of wellness. Classic French cocktails to master. Why some of your clothes smell so bad. These great beach movies. The best time to drink kombucha.
