The Minnesota State Fair Experience - The Deep Fried Three Musketeers Bar



Having visited the Minnesota State Fair twice in the past year I thought this Slate article was particular interesting. It is true that you can get almost anything on a "stick" at the Mn state fair - Alligator, Belgian Waffles ... you name it. For the 2004 election the Democratic Tent's slogan was "Bush on a Stick" no kidding.

The Deep Fried Oreo is worth a try [once], but in our opinion you can skip the Scotch Egg!

Interesting TV ...

Wide Angle . Class of 2006 . Watch Online PBS

You know the story .. you're sitting at home flicking through the 100's of cable channels and not finding anything. This time was different and I ended up fixated on our local Maryland Public Television station engaged in a fascinating documentary following the first class of Morrocan female religious leaders in the Arab world. I've read and heard a number of theories that the rise of fundamentalist Islam may in part be directly related to the stature of women in some of these countries and its been hypothesized that a wider more integrated presence of women within the church would serve as a moderating counterpoint to some of the more extreme viewpoints espoused by some of the more radical sects.

Whatever your thoughts this is a really well done documentary that you can watch online.

Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins


Most people think of Leonard Nimoy as the logical Dr Spock of Star Trek.. who knew he had this skeleton in the closet.. Its no small wonder that William Shatner is now so devoted to getting his musical word out there.

Everyone Needs one of These...

Unique Advertising Slogans


The Crack Team
A Happy Crack is Dry Crack" has to be one of the most surprisingly successful catch phrases of all time. Be sure not to miss the extensive collection of marketing swag they offer... and the catchy jingle.

Makes you wonder if Pepsi Co. was inspired by this type of thing for their defunct "Brown and Bubbly" Superbowl advertisements?
