Infomercial Fitness Equipment
The Total Gym – sure, it might sound like a good idea at 2 a.m. on a Thursday morning, but you’ll probably think otherwise after making those bothersome “monthly payments of only $199″ for three years straight while the thing collects dust in your garage.

Intermission’s guide to making the most out of your Saturday morning garage sale runs
Roxy sells herself cheap on a front lawn
Roxy seems to recall a fashion and style article that told you kids not to spend all your money at Ikea last week. What’s so sexy about furniture that doesn’t have any vowels in its name? Nothing. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.

Stanford 41, Oregon State 0. No, that’s not a football score.
That’s the number of wins in the head-to-head series between the No. 3 Cardinal women’s volleyball team and the Beavers. Stanford (14-1, 3-0 Pacific-10 Conference) began its winning streak against Oregon State during the 1981 season and continued it last night, 30-19, 30-15, 30-28. There [...]
