Hooray! The Oscars are back again! Will controversy win out? Will the status quo be upheld? Will Chris stop using plot line descriptions from comic books to describe the 2013 Academy Awards? Hopefully.
As always, hit the jump to see my predictions. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: Oscar picks 2013
How great are local restaurants and establishments? Sometimes you can get those great “Crazy So and So”-type stores that are mired in money laundering. Sometimes you get deals that scream, “Take advantage of me like my name’s Mr. Belding.” And sometimes you get deals that are born out of the most outdated and immoral of practices, which isn’t so great, but most of time, it’s fantastic.
And then you’ve got deals that are born out of politics that make you go, “Ugh, again with the editorializing of my food?”
A pizza place in Virginia Beach, All Around Pizza, is offering a discount. For those that come in with a gun or a concealed handgun permit, you get a discount on your food. One customer has already brought in an AK-47. This blogger can only speculate that either the percentage of pizza places robbed at gunpoint is astronomically low or that Jay Laze, owner of the restaurant, is simply trying to take note of what to watch out for.

While wrapping up his visit to India, British Prime Minister David Cameron addressed India’s request for the return of one of the world’s largest diamonds, the 105-carat Koh-i-Noor. Mr. Cameron stressed that now was not the time to dwell on the past, but to focus on India and the U.K.’s economic future together.
Besides, the diamond is busy holding together a crown for the no-longer-necessary British monarch and attracting tourists to a musty historic site. Live in the now, India!
It’s well known that the U.S. Postal Service, created with the stroke of a pen by President George Washington, is in some serious financial trouble. A couple weeks ago, it was announced that the mail will stop arriving on Saturday, to save money, and probably to say that the federal government now wants to honor the Jewish sabbath, not just the Christian one.
But now things are getting worse. The Postal Service is launching an all-season clothing line. “Rain Heat & Snow” will debut next year from the Wahconah Group apparel company. Not only is the line missing a comma in its name, its premise is a stylish take on postal worker uniforms and gear.
Maybe next they’ll do a reunion tour.
