The 67th Golden Globes awards

Although the 67th Golden Globes awards aired last Sunday, people are still ranting and raving about them. The Globes, most known for setting the bar for the Oscars, are unique because they not only honor both movies and television, but also differentiate between comedy/musical and drama genres. They are supposed to be known as the most fun and spontaneous awards show for the simple fact that attendees sit at circular tables and wine and dine throughout the ceremony. It's not unheard of for some of the later winners to trip up the stage and slur through their acceptance speeches. This year was no exception. Let's go back, yearbook style, and check out some superlatives of the night.

Low-cal, high-quality chug fest

While you were out having a good time Friday night, we blindly sampled a list of light beer so you wouldn’t have to.  Two dozen beers later, we are weary but wiser.  What should you drink?  What shouldn’t you drink?  What helps you stay slim?  What if you don’t like beer at all?  We have everything you need to know to get started.

No boundaries: Gainesville Improv Festival plays all

Don’t you dare throw this lovely piece of literature that we call The Alligator away.  And I’m not suggesting that you go green and skip your pretty little feet on over to the recycling bin either. Save your newspapers; they could be used as the inspiration for one of this year’s performances at the Gainesville Improv Festival.

‘Avatar’ parallels Republican Party

Read as a straightforward attack on capitalism in a blue-green hue, many conservatives have angrily vented across all media platforms belittling “Avatar” as yet another Hollywood-leftist-socialist-homosexual-pantheistic-anthrophobic diatribe.
