When I was a freshman in high school, I got a pair of Nike Revolution basketball shoes. They were super cool, being a mix between Air Jordans and moon boots. They were the first basketball sneaker to feature visible Air technology and had a giant adjustable Velcro ankle strap. Looking back, however, they probably weren’t […]
Earlier this year I wrote about TikTok being banned from all government- or school-issued devices by the federal government, over half the states (including Wisconsin), and numerous colleges (including the University of Wisconsin System). Officials are worried that the Chinese government will force ByteDance, the creator of TikTok, to share information collected from users that […]
Over the last month or so, I’ve written about how the TSA has defined peanut butter as a liquid and various levels of government have classified hamburgers and hot dogs as sandwiches, but not burritos. This week we ponder the age-old question: what constitutes a chicken wing? Aimen Halim, from Chicago, recently filed a class […]
I recently wrote about the Transportation Security Administration defining peanut butter as a liquid. As such, passengers are only allowed to bring 3.4 ounces of the delicious spread onto flights.

When I was a kid, I loved peanut butter. I had friends over for a peanut butter party – we had peanut butter sandwiches and then peanut butter cookies and peanut butter ice cream for dessert. Because I had a choosy mom, she chose creamy Jif, which she put on my sandwich every day from […]
When I was a kid, I loved going to Madison for Badger games or for the State basketball tournament. I remember getting excited to see the giant Michelin Man outside a tire store. I can only assume his husky frame is attributable to trying all of the restaurants contained in his guide. In 1900, brothers […]
When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of professional wrestling. While I conceded that matches were choreographed or even scripted, I hated it when people referred to wrestling as “fake” because you can’t pretend to be thrown off the top of a 15-foot tall cage onto a table. In the 1980s, Hulk […]
A week before I started my senior year of high school, pop culture felt a seismic shift – Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” was released. It became the first hip hop song to top the Billboard charts and his album, ‘To the Extreme,’ became the fastest selling hip hop album of all time, spending sixteen […]
